Spend the day with Lochjaw Charters and let them show you what makes the fishing in Solomons so memorable! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Thomas Loch can tell you all about them.
Around here the fishing is popular for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Catfish, Cobia, White Perch, Rockfish, Spanish Mackerel, Whiting, and more with any luck. During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Thomas Loch runs a 42’ Gene Travis Custom bay boat with capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods and reels are supplied for you as well as bait and lures.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 20% Mate Fee is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
It’s always wise to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great trip in slow conditions!!!
6 Hour Trip – Rockfish/Striper on October 11, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children
Booked this trip about 6 weeks ago. I did a little reading on forums/facebook and heard the fishing was poor recently in the bay area. Didnt experience that at all. We found Rockbass within an hoir and had our limit within 3.5 hours plus let several go that were over the slot. Great trip and great experience. We will go back soon!!

Amazing trip and will return
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on August 12, 2025 • 5 adults
We had a great time. Nearly had a full load of people (can have up to six, we had five) and we all caught fish the entire time. Capt knew where to take us to make sure we got our moneys worth. We did the four hour bottom fishing trip and came home with enough for dinner for a week. Capt and first mate are great to chat with, made us feel comfortable and helped us out the entire time. Six stars of if I could. We will definitely be returning and hope to get out on the bay. Thanks again!

Great morning on the water in Solomon's
5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on July 9, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
We had a great 5 hour trip with Capt Thomas and first mate Jimmy! Bottom fishing was hot and our family caught a ton (30-40) of spot and croaker. Capt knew all the hot spots on the river. We then made it to a few spots to try for rockfish. Both our sons reeled in big dogs and we lost a few but that’s fishing! Thanks for a memorable day in Solomon’s island and a delicious freshly caught lunch!!
