    Captain Brian was great helping my 5 year old son.

    First time taking my 5 year old out on charter. The currant had the fishing off the day we went but the captain kept us moving and searching for keepers. He kept us out longer to make sure we got to take some fish home. He was excellent at setting up and helping my 5 year old catch a lot of smaller strippers why the bigger ones were not hitting. Definitely would book again.

    Had an amazing time. Captain Travis was great. Extremely knowledgeable about the area, the hot spots, and what was biting. Boat was very clean and new. We caught a ton of Spot fish bottom fishing, and then shifted to live bait fishing for Striped Bass. Caught our limit in no time. So much fun. If you want a great Captain, nice boat and gear, and to catch fish, this is the charter to take. Highly recommend.

    We had a Great time!!

    This trip was pretty special, four cousins starting a semi-annual tradition spending time together fishing! Captain Robert & his 1st mate Tyler kept it exciting and informative! Due to the nor'easter, low tide and time of day, we were at a disadvantage but we did manage to catch a keeper Flounder, unfortunately the Rockfish caught didn't meet the requirement's between 28"-31" but we will certainly head back out in the Spring of '27 with Captain Robert & mate Tyler, both were incredible! Oh yeah, we caught a Oyster Toadfish but immediately tossed that "Only a mother could love face" right back in the water!

    Captain D and his longtime friend and first mate, Kevin are an unbelievable power duo! Not only did they put us on the rock fish immediately, but they made the entire experience so much fun. We even spent time fishing for little spot to fill the bait tank and that was a blast. I have fished on many charter boats, but I have never fished with a team that brought so much positive energy. By the way, we caught our limit on rockfish. Within the first hour, and then we caught about one hundred and fifty spot, baby stripers, little bluefish, and even one speckled sea trout.

    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**
