At Schooled Up Charters we offer something for everyone.  From world-class experiences for serious anglers to family trips!

Captain Travis is a friendly and experienced angler. This charter covers the inshore area of the Chesapeake Bay. As a school teacher, he has all the patience in the world for children and loves to run family trips.

You’ll be exploring the local waters on board the locally built Judge Yachts center console. She’s spacious enough to take on groups of up to 6 guests per trip. It also boasts the latest fish-finding equipment too, so you know you’re in good hands.

Additionally, the charter covers your Maryland fishing license. You can bring your own snacks and water and, if you get lucky, you’ll get to keep your prized catch. What’s more, the crew will help you with the cleaning!

We use only the highest quality fishing rods and reels as well as tackle! No need to bring any gear on board. Just bring your food and drink. We have an iced cooler on board for your food/drink too!

    The four-hour trips are perfect for families and those wanting to experience the Chesapeake Bay. Light tackle fishing is exciting and can be as “hands-on” or “hands-off” as you want it to be. The captain is a teacher by trade, so he has lots of patience with younger children and new anglers. This is geared towards children and is primarily a bottom, fishing trip, for more action. Please note that if you would like to primarily target Striped Bass you should book a 5-hour trip.

Travis is a fully licensed fishing guide in Maryland. Additionally, he's a native of Southern Maryland and has been fishing these waters since he was a child. He's a full-time teacher, and has been teaching for over 20 years and enjoys sharing his passion and knowledge of the Chesapeake Bay. His fishing adventures are focused on helping you become a better angler while enjoying a wonderful day with your friends and family on the Bay. It will be a “hands-on” or a “hands off” light tackle fishing experience. It's totally up to the anglers to decide. You'll have the unique opportunity to have a personalized experience. ''Whatever it takes'' is his motivation to catch fish or to simply spend time on the water having fun. Make your reservation today.
