    Great Fathers Day Present

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    My daughters took me out fishing for Father’s Day and it did not disappoint. The captain was on the fish from the start and all six of us caught our first striped bass within 5 minutes of pulling up to the bridge to fish. Would highly recommend booking with Screaming Eagles! We will be back.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass

    Fish & Feathered Friends

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    Hubs & I had a super fun day fishing on the Screaming Eagle! Capt H & first mate, B were great! Some thick rockfish were caught & I got to see so many beautiful birds of the Eastern Shore—even a Bald Eagle. We will definitely fish with Capt H again on our next trip to St Michael’s!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for the graet review. Look forward to getting back out again !!
