Screaming Eagles offers an excellent charter for fishing on the Chesapeake Bay. The company is based in Neavitt, Maryland, which is 15 minutes from St. Michaels. The crew know the hottest spots where the fish are hiding in and around the Bay, the Choptank River, and Miles River. Whether you have never held a fishing rod in your life or you are a hard-core angler, a day out with Captain Herman is a lot of fun.
You will go out aboard a 32-foot Sport fishing boat, originally built in 1977 and fully up hauled in 2015. It comes powered by a 380 HP Cummins Diesel engine for a fast and comfortable ride. Perfect for accommodating up to six anglers, the vessel gestures a 13-foot beam and a large cabin with the latest navigational electronics and big moving windows for a lot of fresh air. There is a live well loaded with bait, since you will be doing a lot of fishing. And for you maximum comfort on the water, the vessel is equipped with a toilet.
Fishing on the Chesapeake Bay can get your hands full of exciting species. You simply can't miss the opportunity to target Rockfish (Striped Bass), the official Maryland State Fish. Those are tough fighters and make nice table fare.
The Striped Bass season begins May 1-July 31. August 1-31Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel only ( no Striped Bass). September 1-December 5 Striped Bass are in. Captain Herman uses spinning reels with cut or live bait, which is caught fresh every day. In the fall, as bait is no longer available, the crew resort back to trolling or jigging. When the water temperature gets warm, Captain Herman trolls for Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel. Later in July through September, you can spin with live or cut bait. If you feel like doing something different, you can also go bowfishing for Bull Nose Stingray in June.
All trips come with all quality rods and tackle, along with lures, bait, and license. The crew will send you catch home filleted and packaged, ready to go straight into the frying pan.

We fished two straight days (one half day and one full day) with Captain H. and Brendan and both days were outstanding. We limited on Large Stripped Bass on both dates and nearly limited on Blues on the full day. The boat is a veteran but solid and comfortable. Equipment is high quality. The crew were knowledgeable, eager, helpful and fun. Above all, they know where the fish are and how to get them in the boat. Won't be fishing with anyone else in this vicinity. Tip: give yourself 40 minutes to reach Neavitt from Saint Michael's.
Thank you for the great review ! It was a pleasure having your group out on the water and catching some fish! Capt. Herman Haddaway
My daughters took me out fishing for Father’s Day and it did not disappoint. The captain was on the fish from the start and all six of us caught our first striped bass within 5 minutes of pulling up to the bridge to fish. Would highly recommend booking with Screaming Eagles! We will be back.
What a beautiful morning! Perfect temperature, wind and tide. It was a pleasure having you and the family out on the water and catching fish ! Capt. Herman Haddaway
Hubs & I had a super fun day fishing on the Screaming Eagle! Capt H & first mate, B were great! Some thick rockfish were caught & I got to see so many beautiful birds of the Eastern Shore—even a Bald Eagle. We will definitely fish with Capt H again on our next trip to St Michael’s!!
Thank you for the graet review. Look forward to getting back out again !!
Went out with Screaming Eagle Charters and had an awesome trip with my 9-year-old son. Captain Herman and First Mate Brendan were top-notch—professional, patient, and clearly knew the waters well. Feisty Bluefish gave us plenty of action and despite their antics we still took home 7. My son had the time of his life, and we both walked away with great memories. Can’t recommend Screaming Eagle enough for anyone looking for a fun day on the water.
Thank you for the great review !
it was a pleasure having you guy's out on the water and catching some fish ! Perfect weather and great day of fishing ! Congratulations agian for catching the Spotted Trout !!
