Epic Fishing

The Spring Bull Redfish Migration

Every year, as the waters warm on the Chesapeake, massive schools of giant, bull redfish make their way into the bay in search of food. We've put years of experience into patterning these fish and have the locations and tactics 100% DIALED IN.

Massive Schools Of Fish

When we say massive schools, we mean absolutely massive schools! This time of year the water is incredibly clear and you've never sight-casted to bull redfish like this. The sheer numbers of fish is staggering.

Artificial Tactics

As with all of our trips, we pride ourselves on targeting these fish with 100% artificial tactics. We have decades of experience "matching the hatch," and dialing in the perfect baits for these fish.

Highest Quality Gear & Electronics

We take immense pride in our equipment—using only the best tackle, lures, and electronics on our boats. When you show up to Redfish Camp, all you need to bring is food, beverages, and comfortable clothing. We've got everything else covered. Just be sure to stretch your arms and get em' ready for some epic fights.

The Redfish on these trips range from 40" to 53" and are the hardest-fighting fish of the year! It is truly world-class fishing and something you have to see to believe. In the Spring, there is also a good chance of encountering big migratory Striped Bass in the same trip for a bonus!

Redfish camp is all about sight fishing massive schools of fish suspended along the surface. This is your chance at the biggest bull redfish of your life, along with all our other predatory fish terrorizing bait pods!

We provide an unforgettable fishing experience in the Chesapeake Bay. You’re going out on an adventure to remember with our top-of-the-line equipment and insatiable drive to delight our guests. We’re ‘dialed in’ to all the best bites throughout the year on our home waters, and have the setup to get you there fast and comfortably.

Our charters come with a fishing license for all guests, all gear necessary, water and ice in a cooler, a first mate (when necessary), and optional fish cleaning services.

Our trips vary in cost, but they all have a guarantee that we go the extra mile that separates us from the competition. If there’s a bite 20 miles away, we don’t blink, we haul ass over there. There are no limits and that’s how we set up our trips. We fish every day like it’s a 200k tournament day. We run until we’re out of fuel.

We have a unique combination of knowledge, high-end equipment, and a thirst for adventure. When folks come out with us, they know they’re getting an experience no one else can provide in our home waters of the Chesapeake Bay.

We tell people all the time that when it comes to our fishery, you could fish with us once every two weeks for an entire year, and every trip will be different. It’s always changing, even day to day.

It's a secret! We've put a lot of time into patterning these fish so we don't want to share this information with everyone. Contact us to learn more about where it's located.

There is room for up to 6 people in our SeaHunters with seating for everyone. These are the roomiest 28’ boats you’ll ever see with 360-degree fishability. They’re the perfect combo of fishability and comfort with no steps and an open, flat, non-slip deck. Nothing to trip on! The bolsters/rail height is set perfectly at your knees with padding 360 degrees to comfortably fish anywhere on the boat. Something you’ll appreciate when a 40-50 pound bull redfish is giving you its best!

Bring whatever makes your day on the water more enjoyable. We often recommend your favorite food or drinks (no glass please), a hat, quality polarized sunglasses like Costas, nonslip shoes (no black soles please), appropriate clothing for the weather (including rain gear if it's in the forecast), sunscreen (please do not bring spray sunscreen), a camera to capture the epic moments.

We have two meeting locations depending on the time of year. One is Angler’s Bar & Grille at the historic Solomons Island, Maryland. The other is our home marina of Harrington Harbor South in Rosehaven, Maryland. Voted the best marina/resort on the bay! You’ll see our beautiful SeaHunters lit up and ready for your day of fishing.

No, we pay for a license that covers everyone on the boat.

When the fish is in season and legal size, yes. We strongly encourage Catch and Release on our trips but keeping legal fish for the dinner plate is 100% up to you.

We clean the fish for you, this is included in your trip.

We are working on offering ikejime, a highly specialized Japanese technique to dispatch your catch that results in top sushi-grade meat. We offer an upsell to package our fish in the same way that Japanese Sushi chefs package their fish for shipping overseas.

Gray Taxidermy is our choice. They’re one of the most experienced in the industry and always do fantastic work.

The Captain has the final call on the weather. If conditions are less than ideal for the scheduled trip we will first offer a different location or style of trip. If the weather forces us to cancel you will be given the chance to reschedule your trip or receive a refund on your deposit.

We’re very flexible as long as it's done within reason and covered by our policy. Rescheduling is subject to availability and may not be accommodated.

We understand life happens so we will do our best to work with changes in your schedule. All bookings require a 33% deposit to secure the date, this is non-refundable within 30 days of the booking date. Requests to change a trip date are subject to availability and scheduling and may not always be accommodated. Any cancellations by the customer within 14 days of the booking date will result in a charge of the full balance of the trip.

Tips are not mandatory but they are greatly appreciated. If a Mate is provided please remember that the Mate works for Tips Only. The customary gratuity for Captains & Mates is 15%-20% of the trip rate.

A mate will be provided when necessary. Mates work for tips only.

Limits do not mean our work is done and your trip is over. We will provide you with your full-time on the water.

Equipment lost or neglectfully broken will be charged at replacement value.

The knowledge these two have of this fishery, paralleled with unbeatable gear, top-of-the-line electronics, and unmatched teaching ability for light tackle anglers is why we come back for more and more every time. Couldn’t recommend a better experience for light tackle anglers of all levels.

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.
