Captain Damon has worked the waters of the Chesapeake Bay for 30 years making his living Fishing, Crabbing, and Hunting! A Local to these areas his expertise is unrivaled.

Captain Damon Holds a USCG 100 ton Masters License for both Inland(Chesapeake Bay) and Coastal (Ocean up to 200 miles offshore), A Maryland Unlimited Tidal Fishing License, A Maryland Outfitters License, and a NOAA Highly Migratory Species Charter Boat Permit.

As a lifelong professional outdoorsman, you are in great hands with Captain Damon!

The Crack of Dawn is a Custom 50’ Ronnie Carman Chesapeake Bay Deadrise. She, like all Chesapeake Bay Deadrises, was purposely built for fishing the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Being 50’ long and 16’ wide she guarantees a safe and stable platform for your day of enjoyment on the water.

Large Cabin with seating, 2 A/Cs, and Heat. The Crack of Dawn carries a USCG Certificate of Inspection for 42 Passengers in the Chesapeake Bay, 28 Passengers up to 20 miles out into the Ocean, and 17 Passengers up to 100 miles out into the Ocean

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome!

Your captain will provide all required rods & reels, tackle, and bait!

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so an 18–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If you have any questions about fishing with Chesapeake Bay Outdoors, just send Capt. Damon a message!

Make sure to read the "Trip Details" before booking!

Best value

This trip is a great choice for anglers who want extra fishing time for an affordable price.

Targeting the best the Bay has to offer... Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and Redfish! This is a long day but it offers a great chance to catch multiple species! We target schools of Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish while looking for the trophy bite of a large Cobia or Redfish!
