Chesapeake Bay & Tidal Potomac River Fishing Charters
The Chesapeake Bay is a truly special body of water where saltwater from the Atlantic Ocean blends with the many freshwater rivers and streams that feed this diverse estuary. This mixture of saltwater and freshwater is home to a vast array of marine life including tiny minnows, crabs, oysters, and several species of gamefish (some native e.g. Striped Bass and bluefish, and some non-native/invasive e.g. Blue Catfish). Because of this unique estuary environment, the Chesapeake Bay and Tidal Potomac River offer some of the best and most consistent fishing action found anywhere on the Atlantic Coast. All of this is in relatively protected waters, where extremely long boat rides are not needed.
