Chesapeake Bay is known for being home to one of the most sought-after species in the world – Striped Bass! If you're a hardcore angler who's always dreamed of chasing Stripers, or want to take your family on an exciting adventure exploring the bay, come aboard CB Charters. Captain Charlie Bryan is a USCG-licensed native Eastern Shore fisherman, and he can't wait to introduce you to these plentiful fishing grounds!

Capt. Charlie started his professional angling career at a very young age – by 8 years old, he was working as a mate on his dad's charter boat! He grew up fishing the bay, so it's safe to say he knows where the hottest spots to hook Stripers are. Capt. Charlie offers a variety of seasonal angling adventures that are suited for a wide range of fishermen – no matter your age or experience, you'll find something that suits you.

You'll be cruising the bay on a 40' Carman weekender. She can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests, and you'll all be able to fish at the same time – perfect for families or hardcore angling buddies looking to settle some scores! On board, you'll find top-notch navigational and safety gear, including fishfinder, GPS, a private toilet, and life vests for little ones. There's an ice box for your catch, and if you want to bring snacks, there's room for your own cooler.

It's all about Striped Bass when it comes to the species on offer in the bay, but you'll have the chance to hook Bluefish and Black Drum, too. Your captain will help you try out a variety of techniques to land your catch, including trolling, spinning, jigging, and even bottom fishing. He'll also provide top-notch rods and reels, bait, and light and heavy tackle – try out light tackle if you want some serious rod-bending action!

When you've reached your fish limit, your captain will clean and fillet your catch for you at no extra cost. Your trip also includes a fishing license for all guests. Come aboard CB Charters to chase Striper and make some incredible memories!

Peaceful & fishful😊
6-7 Hour Trip on August 8, 20254 adults
Charlie was responsive, punctuate and friendly. He knew where all the fish were. My family each brought a large striped bass home, as well as some smaller bottom fish home. We also caught and released additional fish. So much fun and yet so peaceful floating on the water. We would go back to Charlie again!

Half day trip with Captain Charlie
6-7 Hour Trip on June 27, 20234 adults2 children
This was best fishing experience anyone in my group has ever had and my nephew is a long time fisherman. Captain Charlie, and his 1st mate Jeff, anchored the boat and helped bait our lines with live Spot. The six of us cast our lines and the action started immediately. Felt like the Rockfish were jumping on the boat. It was unbelievable. We caught approximately 30 Rockfish in less than 30 minutes and had to stop once we caught our limit of 12 between 19 and 31 inches. After catching our Rockfish limit we headed to the Chester River where we caught about 60 or more Spot. The day could not have been any better. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone. Thank you Charlie for creating great memories for my family.

Glorious day on the water !
6-7 Hour Trip on May 18, 20236 adults
Captain Charlie & his first mate Jeff were on top of things from start to finish. The boat was very clean & stable, plenty of room for everyone. And though we had a slow start to the fish action, Captain Charlie kept at it until we hit gold. The action went from quiet to crazy & when it did, Captain Charlie & his first mate worked like precision, netting landing, measuring the fish, re-baiting so we could get our fishing lines back in the water. They worked their magic around our party of 6 guys ranging in age from the 20s through almost 90years old. They did everything in their power to make it a memorable experience & boy did they ever ! Thank you Captian Charlie & Jeff, we are truly grateful & hope to be back soon !

Half day with Captain Charlie and First Mate Jeff
6-7 Hour Trip on September 17, 20222 adults
Both Charlie and Jeff were wonderful hosts from start to finish. We were immediately greeted by Charlie upon arrival at the dock. After a quick but necessary safety briefing, we set out to the first fishing spot. Charlie and Jeff had pre-selected spots that took out the guess work of waiting for the fish come to you. Within the first 30 secs, I had my first bite of striped bass, known as Rock Fish locally. If I recall correctly, we spent about an hour at at least 3-4 spots. The boat itself was well maintained and was maintained by Jeff during the trip as well. The boat also had plenty of bait prepared for the entire trip. You can tell both Charlie and Jeff are well experienced in fishing the waters in this area. On top of that, the two were very professional, polite, and educational. Neither my wife or I had fished in almost a decade, but Charlie and Jeff were patient us two. I would absolutely recommend you go with Charlie and Jeff over others. We will be going back to them soon.
