    This is a great oppurtunity to catch a fish of a lifetime and really see what the Chesapeake Bay is all about! These trips depart from Point Lookout State Park in Ridge, Maryland. Get ready for an arm workout as these fish are the hardest fighting in the Bay. It is important to go into these trips with low expectations as it is very difficult to locate them, and on an average trip we will cover 100 miles. But, once you land a bull red you will be addicted! *it is catch and release fishing for Red Drum

    This is the most action packed time of year! Striped Bass are fattening up for winter and you can expect to see breaking schools of fish and huge flocks of seagulls diving on fish. The technique used for these trips is light tackle jigging, this type of fishing is great for kids, new anglers, or experienced anglers looking to hone their skills. These trips run from Chesapeake Beach, Maryland.
