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.

The bite is absolutely on fire right now. Miss Susie Charters is running trips out of two prime departure points — Ventnor Marina in Pasadena, MD and Tantallon Marina in Fort Washington, MD — and the reports from both locations have been nothing short of extraordinary. Catfish are piling up. Rockfish are hitting. And the rods don’t stop bending.
Here’s what’s been happening on the water.
The rockfish are biting, and the action has been nothing short of phenomenal. If you have been waiting for the right moment to hit the water, this is it. Aboard Miss Susie Charters, we have been putting our groups on fish day after day, limiting out on rockfish and then keeping the rods bent with hard-fighting catfish.
Miss Susie Charters is booking Chesapeake Bay Rockfish/Catfish Combo Charter trips now, departing from Ventnor Marina in Pasadena, MD—minutes from Baltimore and Annapolis, and an easy drive from DC.
The bite is on, the boats are positioned, and prime dates are filling fast. If chasing striped bass aka Rockfish on the upper Chesapeake Bay is on your list this year, now is the moment to lock in your spot before the 31 day closure in August. Miss Susie Charters has its rods rigged, its bait ready, and its captains watching the water—because when the rockfish are running, and after limiting on Rockfish there are plenty of Blue Catfish & Channel Catfish to catch (also on light tackle).
