    Great Day on the Water

    Half day Trip on June 6, 2026 • 2 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.

    The BIG ones that DIDNT get away

    Kids and Family Fishing Trips on October 4, 2025 • 3 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.

    Hospitable captain and clean boat!

    Kids and Family Fishing Trips on August 4, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Giovanni was so welcoming and hospitable with my two boys, teaching and helping them catch rockfish. It was a tough fishing day but he was patient and persistent. He called the day before our scheduled trip to introduce himself and get more information. Would definitely recommend!

    Half day with Scott and Steve, top notch guys

    Half day Trip - 12:30 PM on September 16, 2023 • 5 adults

    From Travis:These guys know their stuff. Quick with the rigging, the baiting, and the assistance. Whether you have no experience or plenty of experience, these gentlemen are worth your time. They know the Bay, they know the fish, and on top of that they are friendly, amicable, and want you to catch fish just as much as you do! Highly recommend, and I usually don't want guides or anything! From Mom: A genuine experience with really great men! Catch your own bait, then really fish. A great experience for the entire family! Highly recommend. From Dad: Fantastic trip! Scott and Steve are expert guides, know the Bay, and know the fish. Highly recommended for all experience levels. Well done!

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.

    We was asked to change our time and location the night before the trip. We had to drive an additional 30mins, and be there by 6am. Literally like 8 hrs notice, we had to leave home at 3am. Considering all the changes we agreed to, we did catch fish and the weather was great. Also, the addresses given are usually messed up one way or another. This was our third trip, and our last with this charter. Thank you, overall 3.5 rating.
