At Fishpit Charters, we are dedicated to providing an unforgettable fishing experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Our commitment to customer satisfaction is reflected in everything we do, from our well-maintained boats to our expert fishing techniques. Our Captain, Todd Bellamy, has been fishing since he was a child and has spent his entire life exploring the local waters. With his deep knowledge of the area and its history, Captain Bellamy is not only able to make your trip enjoyable, but also educational. He has worked with DNR fishing camps at Lenord's Mill Pond in Delmar, MD, and has also run a 21' cuddy cabin up and down the Chesapeake Bay from Hoopers Island to Cape Charles. We offer two types of fishing trips that are available year-round and can be customized according to your preferences: inshore fishing and offshore fishing. The Chesapeake Bay is home to a variety of fish species, including the prized striped bass, which can reach sizes up to five feet long! Our primary focus is on targeting striped bass, but we also target other species such as red drum, white perch, croaker, spot, blue catfish, speckled trout, and black drum. To catch these fish, we employ a range of fishing techniques, including trolling, fishing with jigs, fly fishing, heavy tackle, and light tackle. Our experienced crew will work with you to choose the best technique based on your skill level and preferences. Our 23' MayCraft Pilot House, powered by an Evinrude 200 HP outboard motor, is the ideal vessel for chasing after these fish. Our boat can carry up to 6 guests. Equipped with the latest fishing gear and technology, our boat will take you to the best fishing spots in the area, where you'll have the best possible chance of catching a big one. At Fishpit Charters, we believe that there's no better way to spend your time than out on the water. We can accommodate groups of any size and ensure that everyone has an enjoyable and productive day of fishing.
