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!

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

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

Awesome Trip
Half day Trip - 12:30 PM on August 9, 20256 adults

Captain Mike was great! He communicated very well and let us know ahead of time that the meeting location had changed due to weather. He was able to get us on some really great spots that ended up allowing us to net a whole bunch of fish. This trip was a 10/10 and would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a great fishing trip, learn more about fishing and share some laughs.

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.
