    Special Day for our Grandson

    4 Hour White Perch and Croaker Trip • 4 adults

    We caught fish which Chuck cleaned for us and our grandson was able to learn the process. We had them for supper. Good tasting. Mostly ate white perch. But caught many other species. Chuck informed us about what to expect and also educated us on the area since Grandma and Grandpa are from Wisconsin. We enjoyed the adventure.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for the Review Susan! It was a Pleasure having the 3 of you on my Boat Fishing. I enjoyed it very much as well, and I hope your Grandson, who is already a Good Fisherman, took home some new Knowledge he can use for his Future Adventures. Thanks again!

    Great Teaching Trip

    4 HOUR STRIPED BASS TRIP • 6 adults

    Our Captain was very patient with the kids, and by the end of the trip everyone was casting like a pro !!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Jason for taking the time to review our Trip You and your Crew were Outstanding! It is very unusual for Kids learning to Fish to not get their lines tangled at least 7-10 times. Not only did they avoid that, They put in a Tremendous effort to learn and by the end of the day, I was very impressed with both their Technique and Casting Abilty. This will carry over for them on their next Fishing adventure. I hope to see you and your Crew again in the future!

    STRIPED BASS SEASON RETURNS SEPTEMBER 1! September is right around the corner, and that means one of my favorite times of year on the Chesapeake Bay is about to begin! Maryland’s striped bass season reopens September 1, kicking off what can be some of the best light-tackle fishing of the year. As summer gives way to fall, we get cooler temperatures, beautiful days on the Bay, and increasingly active fish. At Chills Light Tackle Guide Service, I focus on putting you on the fish and letting you catch them on light tackle. Depending on conditions, we’ll use jigs, swimbaits, jerkbaits, topwater and other techniques to target striped bass throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. I also Fillet and Package your Fresh Fish to take home and Enjoy And stripers aren’t the only game in town. White perch, spot, catfish and other Chesapeake species can provide plenty of action and give us options throughout the trip. ? Fall is a fantastic time to fish the Chesapeake. Cooler weather, less summer heat and some excellent fishing make September through the fall one of the best times to get family and friends together for a day on the water. Whether you’re an experienced angler or have never held a fishing rod before, you’re welcome aboard. I especially enjoy introducing kids and new anglers to Chesapeake Bay fishing. ? Striped bass trips begin September 1. Fall dates are now available. I can accommodate up to 6 Anglers for our Trip Come spend a day on the Chesapeake with Chills Light Tackle Guide Service and let’s go catch some fish! ?⚓ Call or Text **hidden content**
