Come and enjoy the day on the Down Time.

During the Early Spring Trophy Striper season, we generally find the large Striped Bass moving in the mid-bay areas from Chesapeake Beach to Breezy Pt and south to Cove Pt & Solomon's areas. 
 

During this time I fish out of Breezy Pt. Only 15 minutes to some of the top trophy fishing in the bay!

Trophy Stripers in the Early Spring

Mid-May thru Summer and Fall

Upper Bay Annapolis, Kent Island, Chesapeake Bay Bridge Areas
Mid-Bay areas of Deale, Chesapeake Beach, Choptank River, Eastern Bay

Trolling for Stripers!
 

Mid-May thru the summer, fishing the upper and middle bay areas near the  Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
From this time on I fish out of the Magothy River, just north of the Bay Bridge and moving south to the mid-Bay areas of Deale, Eastern Bay  and the Choptank rivers.

We fish for Striped Bass, locally known as Rockfish, White Perch, Spot, Blues and more. Guaranteed to bring back some great family memories.

These locations gives us easy access to fishing areas from Annapolis to the Upper Bay/ Rock Hall, Chester River to Baltimore Harbor.
Including Annapolis & Kent Island areas and the mid-Bay areas that offer a more wider range of fishing opportunities..
