trip description for Eastern Shore River Bowfishing in Berlin

If you've never experienced the action of nighttime bowfishing, this trip might be for you! Captain Greg has thirty years of experience helping his clients whack fish on the rivers around The Eastern Shore, and he knows exactly where all the local hot spots are. You can target a range of species on this trip, so whether you're aiming to fill your cooler, nail a trophy fish, or both, Captain Greg has got you covered. The species you're most likely to see on this nighttime adventure are Carp, Gar, and Snakehead—an invasive species of predatory freshwater fish originally from East Asia. All of these fish are active at night, and make perfect bowfishing targets! You'll be shooting from the deck of Captain Greg's 26' Long Beach custom, which sports three individual engines—a 115 HP Suzuki, plus two 25 HP kicker engines—as well as a trolling motor to sneak up on your quarry. She's a shallow-draft boat, which allows you to cruise around the shallow flats with ease. This vessel also has a Cobia tower, which is extremely useful for spotting fish at night. There's no need for sunglasses, hats, or sunscreen on this night trip—just bring a smile and get ready to shoot some fish! Read More

trip description for Annapolis Fishing Charters in Annapolis

If you're looking for a premier Annapolis fishing charter, you're in the right place! There’s no better way to experience the Chesapeake Bay than a trip with Captain Dorothy—she's fished here for years, and her knowledge of the Bay is bar none. When you go out with Captain Dorothy, you'll be more than comfortable aboard her 46' sportfisher, a beautiful boat built by Glass Boat Works and powered by a single 450-HP Caterpillar engine. This beauty will accomodate up to 30 passengers, so bring along as many friends and family as you want! This boat is packed with amenities, including a head to keep you having fun. Captain Dorothy and her mate aim to make your day on the Bay as enjoyable as possible! You'll enjoy great fishing in the mid-Bay areas, from Annapolis to the Eastern Shore and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The Chesapeake Bay is a rich fishery that's home to a bunch of sport species, including Striped Bass (known locally as Rockfish), Bluefish, Spot, Croaker, and Spotted Sea Trout! In terms of techniques, you'll use trolling, bottomfishing, and live-lining to get bites, and when a lunker takes the hook, you'll feel it! Captain Dorothy will supply everything you need for a great day, including all the rods, reels, bait, and tackle. Just bring some sunscreen, warm clothing (it can be breezy!) and some snacks and drinks, and you'll be all set. Read More

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
