***I try to schedule my boat in a location that is convenient and where the fish are!***
Trophy Stripers in the Early Spring	April thru mid-May During the Early Spring Trophy Striper season, we generally find the large Striped Bass moving in the mid-bay areas from Chesapeake Beach to Breezy Pt and south to Cove Pt & Solomon's areas. During this time I fish out of Breezy Pt. Only 15 minutes to some of the top trophy fishing in the bay! Trophy Stripers in the Early Spring

Trolling for Stripers!	Mid-May thru Summer and Fall Mid-May thru the summer, fishing the upper and middle bay areas near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. From this time on I fish out of the Magothy River, just north of the Bay Bridge. We fish for Striped Bass, locally known as Rockfish, White Perch, Spot, Blues and more. Guaranteed to bring back some great family memories. This location gives us easy access to fishing areas from Annapolis to the Upper Bay/ Rock Hall, Chester River to Baltimore Harbor. Including Annapolis & Kent Island areas. Bottom Fishing for White Perch or Spot

All Tackle Provided

Light Tackle spinning gear for Chumming or bottom fishing
Spin casting with Ultra-light available
Trolling Medium/Heavy Shimano, Okuma & Penn Trolling Outfits

I provide top quality fishing gear and tackle on all charters. However, if you have a favorite rod and reel, you may bring it so long as it is in good working condition and freshly spooled with appropriate line.

Light Tackle Charters
Light tackle fishing for Rock or perch is great family fun. Guaranteed to bring back memories and a fun day on the bay for all.

Custom light tackle charters available for shallow water surface plugging and jigging.
