    (1/2 Day Trip – Rockfish Season (PM))

    great time

    I took my two boys out for a day of fishing with Captain Rowe. We had a great trip. We did catch a bunch of fish, but what made it memorable was the professionalism and pleasant personality of the captain and mate. Anyone interested in fishing the upper Chesapeake should give this charter a try.

    Great experience will come again

    We were a group of three fishing with captain Scoot, had a great time, moved to different spots and caught fish. Captain Scoot was informative and helpful so we learned a lot to. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely come again.

White Perch fishing is all about fast action on light tackle. This small, hard-fighting sport fish thrives in bays, estuaries, tidal rivers, and nearby lakes. Anglers love it for steady bites, easy access, and tasty fillets after a fun day on the water.

You can target White Perch with spinning gear, float rigs, or simple bottom fishing. Use small hooks and light line. Natural baits like worms, minnows, or cut shrimp work very well. Small jigs and spinners also draw strikes. Keep retrieves slow and near the bottom, where these fish often school.

Expect short boat rides or shoreline spots, calm waters, and lots of nibbles. This is a great choice for families, kids, and first-time anglers. Trips are usually relaxed and close to shore, with frequent chances to hook up. Bring sun protection, layered clothing, and a small cooler for drinks. A licensed guide or local captain will provide tackle and show you how to handle fish with care.

Before you go, check local rules for licenses, permits, seasons, and harvest limits. Regulations can change by state and waterway. Your captain or local authority can explain what applies on the day of your trip.
