You've probably been hearing stories about the fantastic fishing in the Chesapeake Bay for years now. Well, Elligail is here to tell you that they are absolutely true. Join Captain Woodfield for a trip, and he'll show you just why the Bay has its strong reputation.

Climb aboard Chuck's impressive 52' custom-built deadrise boat. The flat V-shape of her bottom hull is very useful in deeper waters and makes for a stable and dry ride even when the Chesapeake Bay turns rough. This big boat can accommodate up to 30 guests – the extremely spacious back deck allows for easy movement, even if multiple anglers are chasing the bite at the same time. She's powered by twin Cummins engines with a total of 1800 HP.

Check the bite for Striped Bass, starting your trip out of the beautiful Rock Hall Harbor. You'll fish all over the Bay for these hard-fighting fish. The captain has been fishing these waters for over 3 decades and he's more than happy to share with you the tricks he's learned.

You'll be supplied with all the required equipment for this fishing excursion, as well as all the instructions the captain can provide. After you've fished your heart out he'll even clean and fillet your catch – remember to pack a cooler in the car.

Get ready for an unforgettable fishing experience with Elligail. Book a trip today for a fishing experience that rivals no other.

    Memorable charter experience on Elligail

    Half Day Trip (PM) on June 19, 2025 • 11 adults • 5 children

    We had an incredible day on the water! Booked the Elligail for our birthday fishing trip yesterday and couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. We caught about 8 roxkfish and had to throw a couple back as one was too small and the other too large! Top-notch vessel - The Elligail is well-maintained, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a successful trip. The crew accommodates our disabled passenger by bringing the boat to ta convenient loading area and arranged for the wheelchair to be stored. Outstanding crew - Both the captain and mate were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to be around Kid-friendly atmosphere - The crew went out of their way to make our kids feel welcome and included, helping them with their lines and celebrating every catch. When Nature Threw a Curveball: A sudden storm rolled in during our trip, and the captain handled the situation professionally and safely, getting us back to port without any issues. What could have been a scary situation became just another part of the adventure thanks to their skill and calm demeanor. Bottom Line: The Elligail team knows how to run a charter. Great boat, great crew, great fishing, and they handle unexpected situations with professionalism. Highly recommended for families , mobile impaired and anyone looking for a quality charter experience

    Half Day with Capt Muscles and First Mate Cory

    Half Day Trip (PM) on August 1, 2023 • 7 adults

    This was our family's first charter fishing trip. We were in excellent hands with Capt Muscles and First Mate Cory. Their years of experience and wealth of knowledge allowed us to have an amazing experience on the water. They provided expert advice and valuable techniques allowing us to catch our share of Rockfish (2 per person). We also had time to do more fishing for bait fish which was a blast. First Mate Cory cleaned and filleted our catch which we took home and made some for dinner... just amazing! Thank you for a great time!

    Half Day Trip with Captain Dan and First Mate Scott

    Half Day Trip (PM) on August 6, 2021 • 8 adults • 1 child

    This was a trip over a year in the making. After COVID and hundreds of miles between us and our family, we were finally able to reunite and have some fun together. This was our first charter with Elligail. Our day started slow with only a few pulls, followed by a fairly long dry spell and the fish just weren’t cooperating. That did not deter Captain Dan and Mate Scott. Together, they put their decades of experience and deep knowledge of the Chesapeake to navigate us to find the honey pot area, and believe me they did not disappoint. Once we got there, it was all lines in and we started getting hits like popcorn; one right after the other, we started reeling in some hard fighting and large striped bass. We got our limit before we knew it! An amazing trip, an amazing crew made for a trip where we made lasting memories with our family. It was so good, we plan to make it an annual family tradition from now on. Thank you again Captain Dan, First Mate Scott and Sawyer. 10/10 Amazing trip and can’t wait to do it again!

Captain Chuck Woodfield has been fishing the waters of the Chesapeake Bay since he was 13. 30 years have passed and he still hits the water with the same passion! He's fished all over the Upper Bay and is keen on showing you the best spots. He cut his teeth with commercial fishing and now he's happy guiding customers on exciting fishing trips.
