Mallard Charters is located in Stevensville, MD and offers to show you a memorable time on the Chesapeake Bay.

Capt. Troy will make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6-hour trips mainly fishing for Rockfish/Striped Bass, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Perch, Catfish, and Crab, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as live-lining, light tackle, bottom fishing, and trolling.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 42’ O’Neill Jones boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a dinette on deck, a bathroom/ toilet, and a cooler.

All rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. The boat is supplied with water for your pleasure. Be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions.

Please remember it is customary to tip the mate 20%.
