Shore Life Fishing Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Nanticoke. (Chesapeake Bay) Also to fish Nearshore and Coastal Bays as well.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Striped Bass, Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and whatever else is biting. For these species, you will fish using light tackle techniques. Customers are always welcome to fish a different style. Please discuss before hand so arrangements are made ahead of time.

You'll find yourself aboard a 24' Cobia center console with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Robert has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Shore Life Fishing Charters!

    Great experience.

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Stripers on September 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Robert made all efforts to bring fishing experience to fullest . He went above and beyond, very knowledgeable and with great equipment, clean boat. All experience was far beyond our expectations. Our trip was awesome! We cought some fish and enjoy senory ride at the sunset. We will go again and recommend to anyone experienced or not in fishing. Five stars!

    Great fishing on the lower bay

    4 Hour Trip – Evening Stripers on October 5, 2024 • 4 adults

    It was a beautiful foggy morning on one of the Chesapeake's rich and tranquil tributaries. Captain Rob had us on rockfish in no time. We started with some top water lures and the action was explosive and hard hitting. That will wake u up fast in the morning. Lol The rockfish were crushing our lures. It was fast, furious, and unbelievably picurerous. I was bouncing between cameraman and fisherman with great ease, due to a very experienced, professional guide and fisherman, Captain Rob. Another bonus was landing some puppy drum. Elliot had lots of action with perch and bait fish, sometimes hooking two at a time. However, Elliot was truly a rockstar in landing and releasing rockfish and drum. Captian Rob was excellent in taking the time to teach Elliot how to handle and care for rockfish. In addition, Elliot landed the largest rockfish at a ruler bending 24". It was a super adventure with great memories and wonderful rewards. If heading down to the Eastern Shore and looking to chase some rockfish, contact Captain Rob. He is a professional and safety is always up front. We will be fishing with him again. Many thanks, Captain Rob. :)

    Took a few trys but we made it

    4 Hour Trip – Weekend Stripers on May 26, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had originally booked back in March but after talking to Captain Rob we decided to postpone the trip. The second date came and we had trouble with weather so had to reschedule again. We finally got a date that worked and were able to get out on the water and even caught some decent rockfish, we made fish tacos with them and they were delicious. Captain Rob was very patient with the bookings and was great while on the water. Our 7 year old had a fantastic time and really enjoyed reeling a couple fish in. No complaints at all and hight recommend booking with Captain Rob.

Many thanks for giving me an opportunity to show you the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay. It was a blast spending time with you and your family. Can’t wait until next time. Tell Tyler not be a stranger, the fishing is only going to get better!!!! He might not ever come home after a few trips!
