If you're ready to go fishing in Harrisburg, we've got you covered with Big Rock Fishing Charters. With Captain Matthew at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Around here it's common to catch Smallmouth Bass, Catfish, and more with any luck. On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light tackle. Fishing on these trips is strictly for sport and everything you catch will be released.

Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Capt. Matthew welcomes you aboard a 18' Crestliner 1870 river jet boat, that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Big Rock Fishing Charters!
