Fin-Atic Sportfishing Charters offers some of the finest inshore, bay, and nearshore fishing in the entire Chesapeake Bay. Captain Mike Lintzenich is a 100-ton master captain who works hard to ensure that you experience the best fishing opportunities possible in this beautiful and bountiful fishery.

Choose between four, six, and eight-hour fishing trips for up to four people aboard a 25' C-Hawk center console boat with a custom tower. The vessel is equipped with GPS and fishfinder to get you locked on the biggest fish in the bay, and features downriggers to help target those hard-to-reach fish beneath your feet. She also has a huge, 40-gallon livewell full of fresh bait.

Capt. Mike specializes in Cobia and Red Drum sight-fishing, but he will customize the trip to your needs and interests. You will be able to target Cobia from the beginning of June to the end of September, while Striped Bass can be caught in November and December. From complete beginners to the most experienced, he will work hard to ensure a safe and fulfilling day on the water. If you're after a specific species, every part of your trip will be set up for it. Just want to catch some fish? Capt. Mike will make it happen.

All trips come with quality light tackle, a selection of lures, and the best live bait around. Mike prepares this ahead of time so you don't waste yours fishing for it. Fishing licenses are also covered, and your fish will even be cleaned and filleted free of charge at the end of the day. All you need to bring is your food and drinks and plenty of energy for the day ahead.

An absolutely great day!
Full Day Trip on August 25, 20252 adults

This was an amazing day! We went with Captain Mike back in June and we caught cobia, but they were all undersized. We started fishing for sheepshead, bluefish, and then hit for the cobia. When we went after cobia, I thought we were gonna have the same bad luck of undersized as last time but that changed. First 2 fish were undersized, but then 3rd times the charm. 3rd fish was a nice 57 inch cobia. It didn't end there though, we caught 5 more after that but they were just an inch or two undersized. If you wanna catch fish, especially cobia, check this guy out. He knows what he's doing. Check out Captain Mike!

My family and I had the best time I was thoroughly impressed with Capt Mike and his hand Brandon they were determined to put us on the fish and they succeeded. We kept 2 monster cobia 50+ and 45+ and landed a few others that were short. But we had a great time. Thank again Capt Mike

Cobia sight fishing
3/4 Day Trip on June 20, 20264 adults

Worked hard to get all three of us a chance to fight a cobia on a day when the fishing wasn’t easy. I really enjoyed riding in the tower, spotting cobia, and learning how to cast to them.

I started fishing as soon as I could walk, exploring the Florida Everglades, Ten Thousand Islands, and Florida Keys in 1975. Since moving to the East Coast in 1993, I have been avidly fishing the Atlantic Ocean and its estuaries every chance I get. The Chesapeake Bay provides amazing opportunities for saltwater fishing enthusiasts like me!
