Join your captain for this morning trip and get ready to chase some Striper! Capt. Charlie grew up around Chesapeake Bay and knows the best places to hook Striped Bass. He'll provide you with top-notch rods and reels, as well as live bait and lures, tackle, and a valid fishing license for all guests. Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome on board – your captain will be on hand to help you try out a variety of techniques, including trolling, spinning, jigging, bottom fishing, and more.
This trip is great for doing a little bit of everything. We will start fishing the shallows (tide allowing). Then when the shallow bite dies we will move to deeper waters with the fish. But sometimes that bite will last for quite some time. You will be using all light tackle and lures and we will cover a lot of ground. Everything is provide but food and drinks.
The trip lasts up to 8 hours or until you catch the limit. Captain Jeffrey will provide you with further details. Weather conditions will be monitored and the captain will decide if the trip needs to be rescheduled, at no extra cost. This is for a group of 4 people.
