Member since June 2022 Chesapeake Beach, United States
Background
Fishing and guiding have been a family business for decades. Laura’s father was one of the first bass fishing guides on Lake Anna Va. Her father help found the Potomac River Bass Club. Laura was catching bass and running offshore chasing marlin and dauphin her whole childhood. Rex grew up helping out with the family waterfowl outfitting business in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Maryland. Rex’s grandfather had him fishing as soon as he could hold a fishing rod and he has been fishing inshore and offshore as much as he can. Moving to Chesapeake Beach in 2013 made fishing the bay an almost daily addiction! We love to fly fish and light tackle fish for all the great fish the bay has to offer. Bottom fishing for the abundant spot and perch is always fun with the kids and folks looking for great fish to eat. Teaching a first-time angler or having an experienced fly caster on the bow, Rock On Charters will do it all . If you are and experienced angler looking for trophy rockfish, red fish, cobia, or just want to have fun doing catch and release or take some great Chesapeake Bay Spot, Crocker or Perch home Our team will work hard to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable day on the water.
Techniques
Fly fishing and light tackle are preferred, but when Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish get here, it is game on trolling spoons!
