Great Day on the Water
Half day Trip on June 6, 20262 adults

My daughter and I went out for Early Father's Day trip. She had never caught a Rockfish, but caught a keeper on the first cast. We both caught our limit and multiple that were too big to keep and we released. Also, caught Croaker & Perch to keep. Andrew was a great Captain and we had a very fun trip. I'm sure we'll be seeing him again.

Reported catch:
Striped Bass
White Perch

Great experience!
Half day Trip on July 23, 20264 adults

Captain Scott and Rex were incredible. I brought my family (with minimal experience) and they were extremely engaging and showed/taught us everything we needed to know. If you're looking for a fun fishing experience, this is the crew for you!

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. One of the things we enjoy most is introducing people to fishing, whether it's their first time on the water or they've been fishing for years. We're glad you felt comfortable, learned a few new things, and, most importantly, had a fun day together. I'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Rex as well—he'll really appreciate them. Thanks again for choosing Rock On Charter Fishing. We look forward to fishing with your family again soon! Capt. Scott Barmby & Rex Rock On Charter Fishing

Whitney, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Capt. Andrew will be thrilled to hear your kind words! Nothing makes us happier than hearing your son is already asking when he can come back—that's exactly the kind of memory we hope every family takes home after a day on the Chesapeake Bay. Thank you for trusting Rock On Charter Fishing with your family's adventure. We can't wait to welcome you all back aboard and make even more unforgettable memories together. See you on the water soon! Capt. Scott, Capt. Andrew & the Rock On Charter Fishing Team

The BIG ones that DIDNT get away
Kids and Family Fishing Trips on October 4, 20253 adults

This was our second trip in 2 years. Captain Higgs knew exactly where to go. We had rock fish on the hook in less than 10 minutes. We caught our limit in 45 minutes. Then just fished and released for the fun of it. We caught 2 rock fish over 28” and released them. Great fighting fish. I highly recommend ROCK ON fishing.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Fishing and guiding have been a family tradition for generations. Laura's father was one of the first professional bass guides on Lake Anna, Virginia, and helped found the Potomac River Bass Club. Laura grew up fishing for largemouth bass and chasing marlin and mahi offshore. Rex was raised in a family of guides and outfitters, helping with waterfowl operations in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, North Dakota, and Maryland. He was fishing before he could barely hold a rod and has spent a lifetime pursuing both inshore and offshore species. Since moving to Chesapeake Beach in 2013, the Chesapeake Bay has become his passion. At Rock On Charter Fishing, we specialize in light tackle and fly fishing for the Bay's incredible variety of species. Whether you're chasing trophy Striped Bass, Bull Redfish, Cobia, Bluefish, and Speckled Trout, or enjoying a fun family trip targeting Spot, Croaker, and Perch, we tailor every trip to your goals and experience level. We love introducing first-time anglers to fishing just as much as helping experienced anglers land the fish of a lifetime. Using state-of-the-art boats, premium Daiwa and Orvis tackle, and the latest electronics, our experienced team works hard to provide a safe, professional, and memorable day on the Chesapeake Bay.
