Hallock’s Grace Charters is a family owned and operated business. Trips depart from their private location in Shady Side, Maryland where you can bring your family aboard for a hands-on fishing or crabbing experience. Join their captain and crew anytime from April through November and come experience the best of Chesapeake Bay!

You will fish aboard a 42’ Provincial powered by a 450 HP Diesel engine. This vessel is fitted with top of the line gear, featuring the likes of Okuma, Shimano, and Penn. Your captain will do his best to have the live bait well full when you arrive. There’s room for six passengers on board and children of all ages are welcome.

At the helm is Captain Thomas Hallock, a fifth-generation local fisherman who knows these waters well. He will help you spend your time on Chesapeake Bay fishing for Striped Bass, Bluefish, White Perch, Spanish Mackerel, and more.

Capt. Tom specializes in fishing with light tackle. He will help you land your catch using the most effective method, whether it’s jigging, trolling, or drift fishing. You are welcome to keep your catch and he will clean and fillet it for you.

Crab season starts in June, when you are welcome aboard to fish for this delicacy or to enjoy a crab feast on board with your family and friends. Capt. Tom also offers a deluxe trip which includes a seafood lunch or dinner when you return to shore.

Hallock’s Grace Charters include a fishing license and all the gear you need. You will find free parking and private restrooms on location.

Book your next trip and come indulge in everything that Chesapeake Bay has to offer!

Full Day Trip on June 6, 2025

Started the day fishing for stripers. They were not biting that day so we switched to fishing for bluefish. Got to a spot and were on fish shortly. Continued to catch fish the rest of the trip. 22/25 towards our limit. Way more than we expected. Would definitely recommend him to others. Great trip. Our mate Colby did a great job so all we had to do was reel in fish. Filleted all our fish also when done. Awesome first experience with these guys. Will definitely return to fish with them next time in town. Thanks again!

Half Day Bottom Fishing on July 21, 2024

Captain Tommy and his first mate, Colby were extremely helpful in getting my family setup to cast our lines in the water. Both guys here knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humor. They literally helped with putting the bait on the line, removing the fish from the hooks and they cleaned and bagged the fish. Captain Tommy gave us pointers for cooking them. Needless to say we cooked two dozen white perch when we got home. We have fish for days. Thanks for a wonderful day. We highly recommend them.

Caiptain is well seasoned and gets good placement for the desired catch. Very accommodating for novice anglers. Captain Tom is a born and raised local and knows land and water like the back of his hand. First Mate Bret took care of all our needs and recipe tips for our catch.

We had 4 boys on the trip between ages 7-10. Capt and mate were great with the kids and they had a blast even though the bite was not happening for stripers. They were happy reeling in plenty of spot for bait and croaker too.
