Penny Sue Charters invites you out for an unforgettable day of fishing the Chesapeake Bay. With over 25 years of experience, you can count on Captain Michael Smolek to get the job done. Bring your family, friends, or coworkers on a fun fishing outing and see just what is it that makes this fishery so popular.

You’ll be fishing from a 40’ Robbins boat that runs on a 450 hp FPT engine. This fishing machine has plenty of room for you and 9 other anglers to be casting off in comfort throughout the day. It has all the necessary navigation and safety gear on board, along with a private head that really comes in handy on longer trips.

As for the fishing itself, you’re in for a real treat. Your main target on these trips will be Striped Bass (known locally as Rockfish). Other than that, these waters are also home to White Perch, Bluefish, Catfish, and more. Bait is caught during the trip, and the crew will clean and fillet your catch afterward.

Rods, reels, and terminal tackle come included in the price of the trip, along with the required fishing licenses. All you need to bring are a pair of polarized sunglasses and any drinks or snacks you’d like to have on your day out. Come on down and let Penny Sue Charters take you on an angling adventure to remember!

We had a great time on the Penny Sue! The captain and mate were helpful, interesting, knowledgeable, and did a great job. We caught some striped Bass and had a lovely morning fishing out on the bay

Great afternoon!
6 Hour Trip (PM) on July 5, 20242 adults1 child
We booked an afternoon fishing trip about a month out. Our skeptical daughter had a great time. She learned how to cast, using live bait and lures. She ended up catching the most! Due to the season we only caught perch, despite being taunted by some rockfish we saw swimming past the boat! The captain and first mate were fantastic! It was such a fun and memorable trip. We cannot recommend Capt. Mike enough! He knows so much history and information about the area, we learned a lot about the bay and its surroundings while fishing. Currently planning on booking another trip later in the year during mackerel and rockfish season!
