SPECIAL NOTE:   

In Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, the striped bass (rockfish) season and limits below.

Season Dates: 
Summer/Fall Season: May 16 to July 15 
Closed Season: July 16 to July 31 
Reopens: August 1 through December 10 
Regulations: 
Catch Limit: One striped bass per person, per day.

We target Catfish, and White Perch during rockfish closure.

The fish in these waters include Striped Bass (Rockfish), Catfish, Perch, and more. 

You can expect to do some, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, live lining or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Eric also offers fly fishing, but you will need to bring your own fly gear and having experience fly fishing is highly recommended.

Trips with Stella Charters are very kid-friendly, and educational so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea to bring so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Capt. Eric will bring you aboard a 29’ NauticStar 28XS Offshore center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and the best electronics on the market. There’s a toilet/sinck on board for your convenience. You’ll find top of the line rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. All live bait and tackle is included. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It’s never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in MODERATION!!!

NO GLASS BOTTLES ALLOWED AND AVOID HARD LIQUOR !!!

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT FIRST MATE WORKS FOR TIPS. 20% IS THE MINIMUM STANDARD TIP!
