Stella Charters LLC
SPECIAL NOTE:
In Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, the striped bass (rockfish) season runs from May 16 to July 15, with anglers allowed to keep one fish per day, between 19 and 24 inches in length.
Season Dates:
Summer/Fall Season: May 16 to July 15
Closed Season: July 16 to July 31
Reopens: August 1 through December 10
Regulations:
Catch Limit: One striped bass per person, per day.
Minimum Length: 19 inches.
Maximum Lenght: 24 inches
We target Catfish, and White Perch during rockfish closure.
The fish in these waters include Striped Bass (Rockfish), Catfish, Perch, and more.
You can expect to do some, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Eric also offers fly fishing, but you will need to bring your own fly gear and having experience fly fishing is highly recommended.
Trips with Stella Charters are kid-friendly, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea to bring so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Capt. Eric will bring you aboard a 29’ NauticStar 28XS Offshore center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It’s never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in MODERATION!!!
NO GLASS BOTTLES ALLOWED AND AVOID HARD LIQUOR !!!
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT FIRST MATE WORKS FOR TIPS. 20% IS THE STANDARD TIP!

3 Hour Trip – AM Family Friendly
Consistent Perfection
This was our third time out with Stella Charters, another limit caught in under an hour! Captain Eric again found a pile of fish that were at the top end of the size limit. Mate Cade worked tirelessly netting fish and ensuring everyone had lines in the water. Aside from the amazing fishing the conversations and stories are only matched by the quality of the boat and gear. Can’t wait to take the next trip with Stellla again this fall!

4 Hour Morning Light tackle Jigging
Amazing Day
Myself, my son and his 4 friends (13) went out for a morning 4 hour run. I’ve been on many charters, but a few of the boys were going for the first time. Eric is top notch across the board. Great communication from booking, great experience helping kids, and as a result we had a huge day! Caught our limit plus a few hours of throwing back. I now have 5 kids hooked on the sport. I 100% will be a repeat customer. Thanks Eric! Had a blast

Outstanding Charter with Captain Eric
We had an absolutely phenomenal experience aboard Captain Eric’s charter! His boat was in excellent condition—clean, comfortable, and equipped with top-of-the-line electronics that gave us a serious edge out on the water. We were able to pass older, slower boats and get to prime fishing spots fast, which meant more time catching and less time cruising. After we reached our Striper quota, he found us a great spot to catch spot and croakers and perch. Everyone caught fish at each spot, just a great day of fishing. Captain Eric knows his stuff and used his gear and instincts to put us right on top of the fish. And First Mate Cade was friendly, knowledgeable, and on top of everything from baiting hooks to keeping the deck clean and giving great fishing tips. If you’re looking for a fast, well-equipped boat, a crew that truly knows what they’re doing, and a day full of fish and fun, this is the charter to book. Can’t recommend Captain Eric and Cade enough—we’ll definitely be back!

4 Hour Trip (PM) Family Friendly
Limit in one hour!!
Stella Charters went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. We hit our limit of Striped Bass within an hour and kept fishing. They gave us the option to keep fishing or go to breakfast on the water which we did and it was well worth it. This is my 4th charter and I can say they went above and beyond what was expected. They vacuum sealed all of our fish and even gave us a little cooler to take it home in. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to take their family on a fishing trip.
