What we do

Inshore and nearshore sport fishing across the Chesapeake Bay

Fin-Atic Sportfishing Charters offers inshore, bay, and nearshore fishing across the Chesapeake Bay and its estuaries for Cobia, Red and Black Drum, Sheepshead, Flounder, Striped Bass, and many other species. We welcome amateur and expert anglers, children of all ages, and skill levels in a family-oriented atmosphere.

We reef and wreck bottom fish, troll, and sight fish from the tower to maximize opportunities when locating certain species. Each trip is customized to your goals and interests. All licensing, tackle, bait, and fish cleaning are included. Please bring your own snacks, drinks, and sunglasses.
