Frequently Asked Questions

~How many fish can I keep?

• The State government sets the limits, NOT THE CAPTAIN!!!  The answer depends on the species of fish and the time of year.  Please refer to the Maryland Department of Natural Reasources website for these regulations. https://www.eregulations.com/maryland/fishing/chesapeake-bay-seasons-sizes-limits

~What happens if it rains? 

• put on a rain coat

~If I bring 10 people with me, can I go for free?

~Can we do 2 different types of fishing on our half day charter?

~Why does a fishing trip cost so much?

• $250,000 boat, $50k-$60k in tackle and equipment, $20k-$30k per year in maintenance, $15-$20k per year in fuel, $5k-$10k per year in advertising, $5k per year in insurance, etc. You get a taste of this for a very small out of pocket expense.
• You show up to the boat in the morning, go fishing, take your cleaned fish off the boat and drive home all without having the headache of maintaining the boat, finding fish, shouldering the liability, or doing any of the undesirable work that goes with boat ownership! If you only knew, you would realize what a bargain you are actually getting...trust me!!!
