Why Pasadena Is a Prime Departure Point for Chesapeake Bay Charters

The northern Chesapeake Bay is a powerhouse for rockfish, especially during the spring and fall migrations. Striped bass move through these waters in large numbers, following bait schools along channel edges, grass flats, and shallow structure close to the Bay’s tributaries.

Departing from Pasadena, MD puts your group right in the mix. Pasadena is minutes from Baltimore, Annapolis, and close to DC. Ventnor Marina offers a well-positioned launch point that gives our captains quick access to productive upper Bay waters without a long run. That translates directly into more fishing time for your group.
