Griffin’s Guide Service LLC is located in Chesapeake Beach and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. If you haven’t experienced true light tackle fishing trip with artificial baits on the Chesapeake you’re missing out! If you are looking for a trophy fish of a lifetime or a fun action packed fishing trip for your family, they have a unique trip for you!

Capt. Steve will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 3 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Bluefish, Bass, Spanish Mackerel, Perch, Black Drum and Cobia, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, fly fishing, jigging, popping and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 28’ Seahunter Floridian boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet and wireless trolling motor. Safety features like radar, FLIR thermal imaging (night vision), and all necessary coast guard safety equipment can ensure you make it back to the dock safely.

All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Griffin’s Guide Service have partnered with the premier local rod builder JLS Custom Rods to build a set of rods specifically designed for ultimate power, light weight, and sensitivity. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.
