We continue with great light tackle fishing in the last weeks of September. We limit out most days on striped bass. Bottom fishing for Blue & channel catfish and white perch has been robust as well. Most of the fish are being caught around structures.

We pride ourselves in catching most of our own bait. This is fairly time consuming but pays off in the end.

We fish seven days as week and have opportunities for morning or afternoon trips. We honor most major credit cards.

Fishing and crabbing has been robust for the entire month of August. Striped Bass were mainly caught live lining using spot. We also used cut bait with various successful tactics depending on fishing location. Strong bites were evident during the tide change for most of the month. We continue to catch Blue cat, channel catfish and white perch while bottom fishing. We were fortunate to limit out most days for striped bass even with large groups. 

We offer Morning and Afternoon charters for large groups up to 28 Anglers. We are located at Kentmorr Marina in Stevensville MD. To book a trip, please call or text Captain Brandon at 410-320-6254 

* Note-We participate in the FACTS reporting system. This allows charter boats to submit harvest reports directly to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources electronically on the day of harvest. Captains in the Maryland Department of Natural Resources' FACTS Charter Pilot Program can land two extra striped bass per day. This is one extra fish for the captain and another for a mate, if present. The additional fish come in addition to the one fish per person limit for clients.
