Dog Days Charters
Dog Days Charters
Spend the day with Dog Days Charters and experience the best fishing the Potomac River has to offer.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Striped Bass, White Perch, Catfish, and anything else that bites.
Fishing is all light tackle. You will cast, hook, and land your own fish.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!
Your adventure begins aboard a 25' Center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.
Capt. Chad will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation.
Your trip with Dog Days Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Bradley Cardinale5.0VerifiedNewFun trip
Full Day Trip on October 4, 2026 • 4 adultsWe booked a full day trip for 4 that included my 15 year old son and his friend. Both of them caught their personal bests, so they had a great time. We also hooked into a giant red drum but lost it at the boat after a 15 min fight. Capt. Chad is great at finding fish and keeping the action going all day. Sometimes, we fished for the larger stripers. When the bites slowed down, we moved to a spot with lots of small striper and bluefish to have fun. It was a good trip.
Kim Willard5.0VerifiedWhat is the best the fishing trips I've ever been on!
Full Day Trip on September 12, 2026 • 3 adultsChad, the captain of the boat and owner of dog days definitely knows his stuff when it comes to fishing. He would tell us exactly where we were going to catch the fish. What kind of fish we were going to catch? And we got there, and that's exactly what we did. I went with my sister for her birthday and my sister caught somebody fish. She had to stop towards the end. Because her wrist was hurting so bad from railing them in The boat was clean. The equipment was top, notch and the captain. Was very delightful, very personable, and definitely knew what he was doing. This is a great trip. I'm great company to go with. Especially for your first time, because he's very knowledgeable and we'll teach you anything. You need to know I would highly recommend in his company and I am definitely coming back again!
