There’s a fish with your name on it in Baltimore and Ditch Hag Sportfishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Gus can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Striped Bass, Catfish, Crab, White Perch, and more – with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You’ll be fishing aboard a 41’ Gene Travers Downeast with space for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Ditch Hag Sportfishing Charters.

They make it look easy

Saturday Evening Special on June 21, 2025 • 6 adults

We were all beginners except for one. It was a family fishing outing. We learned a lot about fishing season rules and signs to look for where fish may be biting. Captain Gus and first mate Dave knew where to troll and proper depths for lines. They really wanted to us each to have the opportunity to reel in a fish and we all got to take some freshly filleted Rock Fish home. It was delicious. Captain Gus even honored our request to take us out to the Chesapeake so we could enjoy the sunset before returning to the marina. It was a very good experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but what I saw was a very clean vessel, an experienced captain and attentive first mate who were very nice and love what they do.

Great afternoon fishing with Capt Gus and Chuck

Saturday Evening Special on August 2, 2025 • 6 adults

This was our first charter experience fishing in Maryland and decided to do a scouting trip with Capt Gus. My family, friend and I had a great time on the water hunting rockfish and doing some bottom fishing. The rockfish were elusive and not biting at all, and while Capt Gus was apologetic for not landing any, his energy chasing them was awesome. We landed some catfish and he put us on the croaker and white perch. I will be scheduling another trip very soon and I highly recommend Capt Gus and the Ditch Hag for your fishing outings.

Caption Gus was great!

Saturday Evening Special on August 30, 2025 • 6 adults

We went out on a family fishing trip and had a great time! Everyone caught a fish even the kids. We definitely recommend Captain Gus, he kept moving around to different locations. His mate was a great help as well always making sure everyone was in the right spot to avoid our rods from being tangled. We will only book with captain Gus from now on.

Great Crew, Fun Fishing

Sunday Evening Special on September 21, 2025 • 2 adults

Capt Gus and his mate, Chuck, were great. Everything was set up and ready to go. We spent a couple hours going after rock fish. The fish weren't overly cooperative, but we still wrangled a few. Then relocated to go for perch before calling it a day. Great trip overall.
