Captain Josh grew up fishing the Chesapeake Bay, and the tidal river systems local to Easton, St. Michaels, and Oxford MD.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Striped Bass, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Redfish, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, White Perch, and whatever else takes the bait.
During the trip you might be light tackle jigging, Top water casting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Josh also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Choptank Fishing Charters is a kid-friendly charter service, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!
Capt. Josh operates a New 24' Center console Fishing Machine with capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, 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 don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
It's recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
