    Haul in more than just work this next retreat! Our Chesapeake Bay fishing trip is your one-stop shop for relaxation, camaraderie, and maybe even a bragging-worthy catch.

All you need to do is grab some sunscreen, a sense of adventure, and get ready for a fun-filled day reeling in memories (and hopefully some trophy fish) alongside your colleagues!

    Before Your Trip

    It's our goal to ensure you have the best time on the water with us and leave with memories of a fishing trip that you'll never forget. Leading up to your trip, we'll contact you to ensure we have all of our boxes checked. From what gear to bring to dietary restrictions and mobility considerations—we've got you covered.

    Where We Meet

    Meet us at the dock where you will see both boats lit up and your captains ready to hit the water. We operate out of two different marinas depending on the time of year. Both are conveniently located near local restaurants and attractions, ensuring you'll have a good time both on and off the water.

    A Half-Day or Full-Day Of Epic Fishing

    When we set out, we're on a mission for fishin'. Our boats are open, roomy, and extremely comfortable. If we hit our fish limit that doesn't mean we're done, it just means we're going to switch species, tactics, or practice catch and release. We're here to provide you with an experience and we're not tapping out just because we've had some success.

    Our Target Species

    Striped Bass »

    As the state fish of Maryland, we strongly believe the Chesapeake Bay is the best place in the country to target these prized sportfish. Known for their aggressive strikes and strong fights, rockfish can grow well over 40 inches, providing a thrilling challenge. 

    Redfish »

    The Redfish, or Red Drum as it is called in the Chesapeake Bay, is a popular sportfish that visits our waters from spring through fall. Primarily eating smaller baitfish, crabs, or shrimp, these powerful sportfish are known to school up and can hunt in large packs both inshore and offshore.

    Cobia »

    Cobia are some of the most prized fish in the ocean to eat, and we are blessed that many migrate into the our waters in the late spring through fall! These fish will commonly float near the surface in groups with the giant redfish schools, making for very exciting sightfishing opportunities.

    Bluefish »

    Bluefish are present in the Chesapeake Bay spring through fall, and are a typical bycatch when fishing for Striped Bass. The bluefish in our waters can grow quite large and put up a great fight, they typically congregate in big schools in open water and are very aggressive.

    Speckled Trout »

    Spotted Seatrout are another migratory sportfish that live in our waters from spring through fall. These seatrout are another very popular fish to eat, and they are very plentiful in our waters! They typically hunt in shallow, sandy waters feeding near grass beds or hard structures.

    Spanish Mackerel »

    Spanish Mackerel migrate from Florida into our waters around May to feed in the Chesapeake Bay. Spanish Mackerel are known for being excellent table fare, their firm and oil-rich flesh make them particularly great eaten raw as sashimi.

    Fishing the Chesapeake has always been a passion of ours. For years, we've put in time patterning these fish and dialing in our light tackle tactics. Wake up, fish, work, fish, go to sleep, and repeat. That was our routine until two years ago, we decided to take the leap and start our own guide business. Now we are living the dream, showing folks like yourself the incredible fishing the Chesapeake Bay has to offer.

    When we booked I said I wanted to catch a big fish and he sure delivered! Most of us had never fished before and Steve made sure we felt comfortable from the first cast while also teaching us about various species and migration patterns.

    Highly recommend chartering with Capt Steve. He is a great laid back captain and gets you on the fish. Fishing with light tackle makes for a much better experience not just reeling in a 5 gallon bucket. Thanks Capt Steve for putting me on my biggest light tackle rockfish

    Went on a Sunday morning rock fishing trip with Griffins Tour Guide & had a great time! Steve is very knowledgeable and helped even a beginner like myself reel in a 24-inch rockfish. His rods & lures are top-notch & were easy to cast and reel in.
