I took my two boys out for a day of fishing with Captain Rowe. We had a great trip. We did catch a bunch of fish, but what made it memorable was the professionalism and pleasant personality of the captain and mate. Anyone interested in fishing the upper Chesapeake should give this charter a try.

One hell of a day on the bay!
1/2 Day Trip – Rockfish Season (PM) on July 18, 20264 adults

Despite a slow start followed by some minor technical difficulties, captain Lance put us on the fish. We hit some nasty weather on the return trip to the dock, but the crew maintained complete confidence and got us all back safely. Hell of a crew. I will be back for future trips! Highly recommend!
