Patent Pending Charters

This was our first fishing trip in Rock Hall and it was absolutely awesome! We would highly recommend Wayne and Drew! We all caught lots of fish. For some in my family it was the first time out on a charter fishing trip. For others, some have been out on other charter before, but this trip and these guys are absolutely great!

Wayne Gatling Guide Service – 46'

It's fishing, not catching, because no two days are the same and you just see what you get with all of the variables that affect the outcome. There are a lot of options to catch, and it's a great place to fish, especially having the Bay and Ocean to choose from.

Coastal Guide Service LLC

Booking a charter to learn the ropes of how to fish the Bay Area, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Our Captain was awesome at explaining everything we were doing and what. Know what fish are around the time you are visiting (can’t catch a species that aren’t there!), and enjoy the whole experience!

Bottom fishing is more appropriate for young anglers and gives more “rod time” than trawling for Spanish mackerel.

Strike Zone Charter Fishing from Solomons, MD

In August the temps can get very cold at night on the boat pack a hoodie and sweatpants to pull over your shorts. Also if you’ve never been on a boat pack closed bottle drinks and wear shoes that don’t leave marks on the deck. Snacks that don’t make a mess when eating. Be respectful of the boat. If you don’t know ask the Captain before booking and let them know the dates you have available incase of bad weather.

Unshakable Charters

If you're heading out mainly to fish, I'd recommend checking water conditions or getting some local tips first.

Day On The Bay Charters

Solomons was a lovely place to visit — easy to navigate, not crowded, and full of genuinely friendly people. There was a nice variety of restaurants, and all the fishing boats seemed to be catching fish. A relaxing and enjoyable spot for a day trip or weekend getaway.

Lochjaw Charters

If the wind is blowing out of the N or NE there will be parts of the main bay that cannot be fished. We were hoping to fish for bull redfish but wind did not allow that to happen. We had fun catching rockfish instead.
