Rock On Fishing

Looking to catch some fish? Look no further than Rock on Fishing! Having logged many hours on the Chesapeake Bay, Captain Scott and Rex can tell you all about them.

You’re likely to go after Striped Bass, Cobia, Redfish, Bluefish, Speckled Trout, Spotted Seatrout, White Perch, and more, depending on when you go. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Scott can also help you try kite fishing.

Trips with Rock on Fishing are kid-friendly, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You’ll be welcome aboard a 30’ Pathfinder center console with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you have any question on what to expect, ask the captain.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    We are one of only a few who truly target these fish! The Bay is home to some of the biggest Cobia in the world! We do not catch small fish on this trip. It’s hardcore fishing & fun! Here’s a summary of a typical day. Depart at first light and run down the bay at a smooth 40mph. You'll get on the front casting deck waiting for the crew to call out a fish. You cast, work the bait, then BAM! Fish on! That’s what sight fishing for giant Cobia and Redfish is about!

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 business for decades. Laura’s father was one of the first bass fishing guides on Lake Anna Va. Her father help found the Potomac River Bass Club. Laura was catching bass and running offshore chasing marlin and dauphin her whole childhood. Rex grew up helping out with the family waterfowl outfitting business in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Maryland. Rex’s grandfather had him fishing as soon as he could hold a fishing rod and he has been fishing inshore and offshore as much as he can. Moving to Chesapeake Beach in 2013 made fishing the bay an almost daily addiction! We love to fly fish and light tackle fish for all the great fish the bay has to offer. Bottom fishing for the abundant spot and perch is always fun with the kids and folks looking for great fish to eat. Teaching a first-time angler or having an experienced fly caster on the bow, Rock On Charters will do it all . If you are and experienced angler looking for trophy rockfish, red fish, cobia, or just want to have fun doing catch and release or take some great Chesapeake Bay Spot, Crocker or Perch home Our team will work hard to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable day on the water.
