Salt water fishing on a charter boat

Crisfield Fishing with Captain Tony O'Brien

Salt water fishing on a charter boat on the Chesapeake Bay is both fun and exciting, especially in the waters near Crisfield, Maryland. Known as the “crab capital of the world” many local and migratory fishes populate these waters giving anglers chances at spots, croakers, trout, sea bass, rockfish, drum, flounder, and the like.

I started Crisfield Fishing to locate other sportsmen who want to fish during the week on a charter boat, but cannot get a group together. I work weekends so I miss the trips. Also the waters seem to have fewer boats on them during the week, adding fun to the charter.

Many head boats leave too early … or they are just not flexible. I propose a 9:00 am meeting time at the small boat harbor in Crisfield leaving about 9:15 to 9:30 and returning 8 hours later. The charter boat Ann Lynn takes only 6 people, so we will avoid the “take everyone” head boats. The Ann Lynn gives you the bait and offers to lend you her equipment at no charge avoiding carloads of bait, hooks, rods, and reels. You may bring your lunch and beverages on the trip.

My name is Tony O'Brien, the captain and owner of the Ann Lynn. I can be reached at 301-580-1201 or go to the RESERVATIONS PAGE for rates and additional information.
