Summer is starting to heat up and so are the Spanish Mackerel and Blue Fish! Striped Bass season might be closed for a short period in time but this time of the year is the best time to catch an alternative species! We have even seen Cobia and Red Drum during this time period! Book your next adventure on the Chesapeake Bay!

Five Stars!
5/5
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.

Great time with the family
5/5
Had a great time with the family. We booked the 6hrs trolling trip. Knowledgeable friendly crew. Couldn’t have asked for better guides. Excellent equipment. All the needed amenities for a long day out on the water. 24 good sized Bluefish. Had a good haul. Thanks again for such a wonderful time!

Beautiful day on the water
4/5
Capt Keith took myself, my son, and a friend on a 4 hr inshore trip. We caught bluefish and mackerel - not as much biting as any of wanted but Keith worked diligently to get us the best chance to get on the fish as possible. The boat was in great shape, the communication responsive, and it was a great day on the water. Highly recommend.
