The Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coast are world-class sportfishing destinations, offering nearly year-round fishing. The Chesapeake holds huge numbers of the legendary striped bass (rockfish) and attracts bluefish, speckled trout, red and black drum. Also, cobia, Spanish mackerel and houndfish–all exciting gamefish–are regular summer visitors. In cooler months, yellow perch, pickerel and crappie abound in tidal rivers. We fish the hotspots from the Susquehanna Flats and Eastern Shore shallows to the Bay Bridge Tunnel to put you on fish.
