Captain John Whitman is a second-generation fisherman with over 45 years of angling and boating experience under his belt, making him your perfect guide to the Bay and its bountiful waters. He was born and raised here, and loves targeting anything from Redfish to Black Drum to Mackerel—but especially Striped Bass!

Enjoy your fishing adventure aboard a 38-foot boat, which comes powered by twin 210 HP Cummins engines. The vessel is fully rigged with navigational electronics, which include a GPS, a VHF radio, a fish finder, and a radar. There is an anchoring system carried on board, an ice-box, a toilet for your maximum comfort on the water, and a live bait tank. The boat can comfortably accommodate up to six anglers.

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.

The charter is located at the Happy Harbor Inn in Deale Maryland, which is only 45 minutes from Baltimore and DC. This gives you access to the middle Chesapeake Bay, where you can find great sport fishing action, any time between May and December.
