Chesapeake Bay Rockfish Report: Light Tackle Bite Is On Fire

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.

Chesapeake Bay Rockfish Season 2026 Is Here — Book Your Charter Now!

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).

  • 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
