Rockfish Charter Wanted in Chesapeake

[Frugal Floater]

I am in the initial stages of planning a Rockfish fishing trip for all my old college buddies in the Bay Bridge area (Chesapeake)...I am shooting for April. Any recommendations/rates? Would likely need room for 4-8 people on a Saturday.

"Striped Bass season is not open in the Virginia waters untill 16 May thru 15 June."

What about after 15 June?

Yea i am debating whether or not to just use my boat, but I know how the bay can treat an 18' center console and the spray can get pretty cold...Not to mention trailering it 5 hours one way will burn a charter fee in gas. I will google around and try to find a good captain. Thanks.
