Chills Light Tackle Guide Service
Captain Chuck of Chill’s Light Tackle Guide Service invites you to come out for a fun day of fishing on Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries. Captain Chuck has been fishing these waters since the age of 6. Yes, 50 years! We DO NOT Troll or hold your Rod. You are in control of all Fishing Activities, which makes for a much more exciting and Interactive Trip!
The primary fish of choice in Maryland is the Striped Bass, commonly referred to as Rockfish. This fish is aggressive and powerful, making for a fun battle on the water! Other fish such as White Perch, Yellow Perch, Catfish, and newly popular Snakehead fish can be targeted as well.
Captain Chuck is an expert light tackle fisherman as evidenced by his numerous 5-star reviews. You are bound to learn something new during your trip.
He uses several different techniques when necessary, utilizing a “hybrid” approach. Casting lures, using cut bait, or live lining are all in his repertoire of techniques used to catch fish.
Captain Chuck can take out 6 guests on his incredible fishing boat. The boat is a world-class 28’ Sportsman powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha outboard engines. This boat will cruise comfortably at 40 mph and can reach a top speed of 61 mph!
It is equipped with twin Garmin 12” fishfinders, a radar, and an autopilot. It is also equipped with a fully functional electric toilet and freshwater sink.
One of the captain's favorite features is the Minn Kota Terrova Autopilot 112 lbs thrust trolling motor. Equipped with GPS “Spotlock”, there is no need for an anchor in even the roughest conditions.
All rods, tackle, and bait are provided on the trip. You just bring snacks and drinks.

My family and I had to pull a vacation together after our original trip was canceled due to an injury, I chose Baltimore, Maryland, the aquarium, baseball, shopping, ECT. A huge must was to find a fishing charter. After experiencing hiccups and mishaps through out our entire trip, we checked our reservations Monday night for Tuesday, excitedly all went to bed, my teenagers woke up the best they ever had" it's fishing day ". My spouse again the easiest 4 am wake up. The excitement and anticipation were mounting by the second, I can't find the best words to express my gratitude , we will be forever grateful to you. This literally saved our vacation, and brought sooooo much genuine happiness to everyone of us, that was soooo needed, it brings me to tears and the joy that was had that day. You and your charter will always be our Maryland Miracle!
