Chesapeake Bay Charter Fishing Report: Rockfish & Blue Catfish Are On Fire!

What a week on the water! If you have been waiting for the perfect time to book your Chesapeake Bay fishing charter, this is it. The bite has been red hot, and our boats have been coming back to the dock with coolers full and anglers grinning ear to ear. This report breaks down exactly what Miss Susie Charters has been seeing across our two hottest departure points: Pasadena, MD and Fort Washington, MD. You will learn where the fish are biting, what our recent trips have produced, and which open dates you can still grab before they disappear. Here is the quick version: quick limits of Striped Bass (Rockfish), followed by big numbers of Blue Catfish and Channel Catfish, trip after trip. We also have limited Rockfish harvest days left before the season closes, plus a heads-up on booking your late summer Solomons Island trips. Let's dive in.

  • Our main goal at Miss Susie Charters is to ensure that our clients have an enjoyable, fun-filled, and exciting experience each time they charter with us. We ensure this by providing professional charters run by captains who love to fish and know how to treat clients.
  • We provide rods/reels, bait, tackle, and ice, and the fish box for your catch. You are more than welcome to bring your lucky rod and reel.
  • No fishing licenses are required.
  • Confirm with Capt. Greg which departure port will be used. The boat will be where the fish are, make sure you arrive where the boat is!
  • Departure times will vary depending on the season, how early daylight arrives and how much the “bite” requires an early departure (Sometimes the Early Bird does get the worm!) Always confirm departing time and always make sure your entire crew arrives early enough to all ON TIME DEPARTURE! If you have a few crew members who are always late, please tell them departure is 30 or 60 minutes before to ensure we won’t miss the bite.
  • Prime dates go fast, call as early as possible to ensure you can get a booking when you want to go and when the fishing is red hot.
  • If someone in your group commonly gets seasick have them take Dramamine or Bonine the night before the charter and again one hour before leaving the dock. This ensures the medicine is in your bloodstream before hitting the waves. Often, taking these drugs just before leaving the dock does next to nothing.
  • Bring yourself and your crew on time (we don’t want to miss the bite)
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunblock
  • Hat
  • Food and beverages with a cooler and ICE to hold them
  • Camera or at least a charged cell phone
  • Adequate clothing (you can always take layers off)
  • Rain gear (just in case)
  • Cooler to carry home your catch

Super quick Live bait limit on RockFish aka Striped Bass then tried for the White Perch & the big Storms must have messed up the shallow bite because we only landed 20 Keeper White Perch & did not see the big schools on Humminbird side scan, so we got our Catfish rig out and we quickly wacked over 30 Catfish! Light tackle fishing at its finest! #ComeSeeUs #CatchYourOwnDinner #lighttacklefish #ChesapeakeBay #chesapeakebaycharterfishing
