Solomons, MD, United States

Wanna experience a fun and relaxing time while fishing on the Chesapeake Bay?? Well drop by the quaint community of Solomons, Maryland, and discover the area’s fishing potential. There, Island Marine & Charter Fishing LLC is waiting for you to provide you with a fishing trip. You’ll be under the guidance of Captain Wes Jackson, who’s got tons of experience to share.

You’ll be enjoying your time on the water on board the Robbins, downseat model from 2011, which was restored in 2019. It is 46’ and it can accommodate groups of up to 12 people – perfect for large group activities. The boat is fitted with a double Cummins engine that can reach top speeds of 18 kn. You can target your fish from the flybridge, and outriggers are available for trolling.

This charter specializes in river and inshore fishing as it covers the Patuxent River and its mouth into the Chesapeake Bay. Although you might encounter fish all year round, the colder months are slow. You’ll have the most chances from May till the end of October, so use this season to bag some Mackerel, Striped Bass, and Bluefish. There’s a variety of fishing techniques at your disposal which include light and heavy tackle, trolling, and drift fishing.

You don’t have to worry about the necessary fishing equipment, lures, and bait as this will be waiting for you on board. The charter covers your Maryland fishing license, so just bring your snacks and refreshments. For greater comfort during your fishing experience, an onboard toilet and bed are available. If you get lucky you get to keep your fish, and the crew will help you clean it. Families with children are welcome.

Spend a refreshing day on the waves of Chesapeake Bay and bag some fresh fish. Contact Island Marine & Charter Fishing LLC.

Half day trip with Capt Wes

VERIFIED

Capt Wes said the trip would be from 1330 to 1730. We left the dock at 1330 and did not return until 1920. We didn't get a single bite but it was not for lack of trying. Capt Wes and his crew stay out an extra two hours trolling trying to get us hooked up with a trophy size fish. The fish just didn't cooperate. It is why it is called fishing and not catching. As much as I would have loved to have my 11 and 7 year old get hooked into a 40 inch fish we had a lot fun being together on the water. Big thanks to Capt Wes and his crew for trying as hard as they did to try to get some meat on the deck.

A nice day.

We didn't catch any fish. That being said, sometimes that's just how fishing is and we still enjoyed our time on the water. It was apparent to us that Captain Wes and the mate were working to put us on fish, but for some reason they just weren't biting. It happens. Beyond that, our experience with Island Marine & Charter Fishing LLC was a positive one. Once booked, Captain Wes actively communicated with me prior to our trip and I really like that. The boat and equipment appeared well taken care despite its age and frequency of use. I would recommend bringing some travel chairs so that you can have some back support when sitting (It's been a while since I had chartered a boat and I forgot about that.).
