Chesapeake Adventures Sport Fishing
Welcome to Chesapeake Adventures Sportfishing, aboard the Reel Time! Experience an unforgettable adventure with Captain James Batchelor and see why the Chesapeake Bay is one of the top fishing spots on the East Coast.
Top-notch St. Croix rods, reels, and tackle are included on each trip to ensure the best-quality fishing for all guests. The captain will provide a cooler to keep your catch nice and fresh. Live bait will be caught along the route, and your catch will be cleaned and filleted for you. Capt. James will also take care of your fishing license, so you don’t have to worry about it. Just bring your own food and drinks, as well as a pair of comfortable, soft-soled shoes so you can stay light on your feet.
We will be leaving from Battle Creek, Prince Frederick, MD; Solomons Island, MD; or Cape Charles, Virginia, depending on the time of year. These are some of the best places to go fishing around the Maryland Chesapeake Bay due to their diversity of fish species. Enjoy targeting various types of fish such as Striped Bass, Perch, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Black Drum, and many more! Capt. James specializes in light tackle fishing and also offers fly fishing, as long as you bring your own gear. Other techniques include bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging.
Chesapeake Adventures Sportfishing welcomes all levels of fishing experience, from novice to expert anglers. Invite your friends, family, and kids and enjoy a productive day of fishing out on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay!

Captain jim was equipped, prepared and knowledgeable. Was very gracious with us beginners. And flexible with the shedule due to the weather. We achieved the goal of cathcing our limit of stripers as well as plenty of spots, perch, trout and several surprise pufferfish. We had a great time! Thanks Captain Jim!
As native Marylanders who now live out of state, we appreciate the opportunities to be out on the Bay. This looked like a great way to spend some vacation time. There were six of us in the party, including two very reluctant teenage daughters. Initially they said they didn't want to fish but Jim and Jay made the day so much fun that, by the end, they were are top two finishers for catching the most fish. We loved spending the first hour or so looking for the spot fish - everyone was successful and really got into the excitement. Then we moved across the Bay and really started going after the rockfish. We really enjoyed our time with Jim and Jay and can't wait to book with them the next trip home!
Jim was a great Capt and we learned a lot during our trip! We didn’t catch as much as we’d hoped, but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort by our Capt. He tried to get us in the right spots, but the fish just weren’t there. Definitely would do again!

Great time on the water with Captain James. Bite was slow but he did his best to put us on some fish and we ended the day strong. Definitely coming back for another trip.

We book fishing charters quite a bit and this was a great one. My teens had so much fun on the half day charter and the crew was just so nice and fun. If you are anywhere in the DC area I would recommend it. We will be back

Captain Jim did not disappoint. Boat was clean and ready well before our scheduled departure and he had us on the fish immediately. Despite him running this trip solo he was well organized and efficient with helping our entire party throughout our entire trip and we had action the whole time. I would highly recommend this charter boat and look forward to a future trip soon.

We booked a first time charter with Captain Jim and a his great first mate. This was my wife's B-day surprise and she loved every minute of it. I would certainly recommend going out on "The Reel" for a really nice fishing experience or just a chance to enjoy an expedition. You won't be sorry you did. We loved it😊.

We really enjoyed ourselves. Captain Jim and Russ we’re absolutely great. We got some beautiful stripers and then ended the day with a bucket full of perch. Had so much fun we’ll be back next week. I recommend them to everyone, I promise you will have the time of your life. Can’t wait until our next trip.

Could not have asked for a better day or fishing experience with Captain Jim and his First Mate on Reel Time!
Went out on 5/8/2019 and we had a GREAT day of fishing with captain Jim. We got into a bunch of shorts early on, but being trophy season we had to throw back anything under 35 inches. Each fish kept getting bigger ended with one keeper on the day but everyone had sore arms from a day of action. Would highly recommend Captain Jim of the REEL TIME. I will being booking another trip for the fall. Thanks again for Taking us out!
