Types of Maryland Guided Fishing Trips

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

Maryland off-shore charter boat captains offer deep sea fishing trips throughout the Mid-Atlantic coast.  Maryland off-shore fishing charters take out 1-6 people or more to troll for sailfish, live bait fish for tuna, fish shipwrecks, and much more.  Many Maryland deep sea charter boats operate out of Chesapeake Beach, Edgewater, and smaller communities in and around Chesapeake Bay.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

Maryland in-shore charter boat captains usually fish out of smaller boats that hold 1-4 anglers.  These Maryland fishing charters fish closer to the mainland and throughout Chesapeake Bay.  Tributary rivers, underwater structure, and nearby inlets are popular striped bass, bluefish, and multi-species hot spots.  Maryland fishing charters operate out of most of the communities along the coastline and Chesapeake Bay.

General Inland

Maryland freshwater fishing guides generally fish out of smaller boats and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing Maryland’s fresh water lakes, rivers, and tidal waters. These fishing guides often target striped bass, largemouth, smallmouth, and panfish.  Popular locations include Deep Creek Lake, Maryland reservoirs, the Potomac River, and many more throughout the state.

Fly Fishing

Maryland fly fishing guides can provide a traditional fly fishing experience on beautiful streams casting to wild and stocked rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout on the Potomac and Susquehanna Rivers as well as many Maryland reservoirs.  Unique fly fishing opportunities are offered throughout the state for many species. Maryland fly fishing guides fish on most public lakes, rivers, and salt water hot spots.  Maryland fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.
