Our Chesapeake Bay, Maryland Charter Fishing Trips leave from Selby Bay Yacht Basin on Chesapeake Bay’s South River Chesapeake Bay. These fishing trips are for Rockfish, (Striped Bass), Black Drum, Trout, Croaker, Hardhead, Flounder, Spot and Perch are available from April through June and September through November. We are located just ten minutes from Annapolis in Edgewater, Maryland on the South River.
Since we are located in one of the most productive areas of the Chesapeake, we typically run for less than 45 minutes in order to find fish.
The speed of Babu allows us to be at any location on Maryland’s portion of the Bay within 90 minutes of leaving the dock. Our normal area of operation covers from the Brewerton Channel to Breezy Point on the Western shore and from the Swan Point to Hoopers Island on the Eastern shore.
We specialize in Striped Bass fishing both trolling, and chumming. Light tackle is available. We also cast, jig and bottom fish when appropriate. We will bottom fish for most other species, and fly-fishing can be accommodated, but you will need to provide your own equipment.
