lime4x4 · 06-24-2009, 04:21 PM

Were heading down to the chesapeake bay for the 4th of july fireworks.Will be putting in at the anchor marina on the north east river.Were coming down july 2nd. Wife would like to hit the bay bridge area for some fishing. We have a 27 foot cabin cruiser with a 100 gallon gas tank. At cruising speed of 23 mph the boat burns around 14 gallons per hour. I'm trying to get an idea of the range.

55 miles +/-.

You could do some fishing without running all the way to the bay bridge, while I am not that familiar with the bay that far north, I know in the vicinity of pooles Island etc there is some good fishing.

I would ask over at www.tidalfish.com.

if i'm thinking straight here
given what you said in your post
at 14 gallons per hour traveling at 23 miles per hour you should be able to go 161 miles +/- on 100 gallons of gas.

100 gal./14gph = 7.1 hours
23 miles per hour x 7 hours = 161 miles

little map for you

shows it roughly being 190 miles.

ted, I think he's looking for the bay bridge near annapolis, not the bay bridge tunnel.

As for fishing & running to the BB... thats alot of running for what could be not alot of catching. Finding rockfish on the open bay aint so easy.

The deep holes on the NE river have catfish up to 25#s. Much easier to find & catch.

My mistake, i was only aware of one called the Bay Bridge, but then i live down here and not up there, so................

Rock Hall fireworks is July 3, and always good.

Some of the best ones I have ever seen were at Fairlee Creek. They have them in Middle River on the 4th too.

It's about 50 miles to the BB.

Plenty of good marinas in the mid-bay area from Rock Hall to the Solomons, and good fishing too.
