Fin N' Feather runs angling trips on the Chesapeake Bay and offers

Capt. Derick will share his vast knowledge and experience to ensure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing and trolling, all to get you on that bite. This involves 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for rockfish, perch, and catfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. You can keep anything you catch as long as it's legal.

Your adventure begins on board a 34' Webbers Cove boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet and was updated in 2024 with new refurbished interior. The vessel has a full cabin and head so that the wife will approve! You'll get to the fishing grounds and back in comfort. It's also been equipped with new 2022 electronics, so if the fish are there, Capt. Derick will find them!

The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you'll need for a productive day on the water. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter. There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are appreciated. Children are welcome aboard.

Now offering hook and cook options with Dock of the Bay, the resteraunt we depart from. You hook them, and they'll cook them for a hassle free meal with your fresh catch!

    great experience

    Week night evening trip on July 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    good day on the water, the captain and mate were knowledgeable about the best spots for fishing locally. caught a mix of catfish, rockfish, perch, spot, and even a ray. good atmosphere, learned a lot, and came home with plenty of cleaned fish to eat. would recommend, will look into booking again.

    3 Generations on a trip

    5 hour afternoon trip on June 13, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Three generations on a trip Pappy, Son, Grandson (8). We got plenty of fish and crew was very knowledgeable. They definitely knew the layout and what they were doing. They took time to clean and fillet so that the restaurant at the dock could cook the freshest fish we've ever had. Would highly recommend
