Experience the Best Bay Fishing in Chesapeake Bay with Reel Attitude!

Experience an exhilarating day exploring the beautiful Chesapeake Bay with Reel Attitude! Captain Jon Tkach, a lifelong local fisherman, is dedicated to providing the best inshore fishing experience. Whether it's setting new records or trying different techniques, Captain Jon is always up for the challenge!

Step aboard the spacious 42’ Glass Marine bay boat, comfortably accommodating up to 18 anglers. Powered by a 450 HP Cummins engine, you'll enjoy a smooth and speedy ride across the bay. Equipped with essential navigation electronics, safety gear, a private toilet, and a live bait tank, the boat has everything you need for a successful trip.

Fishing trips are available year-round, with techniques tailored to the specific season and targeted fish. Whether you prefer trolling, bottom fishing, or spinning, you can pursue a variety of species including Striped Bass (Rockfish), Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and Black Drum. The first mate will clean your catch, and if you're lucky enough to have a bountiful haul, the crew will direct you to the cleaning station.

Captain Jon moves between different locations on the Chesapeake Bay throughout the season. From Edgewater in June and July, Solomon's Island in August and September, to Chesapeake Beach for the rest of the season. While the launch locations may vary, be sure to contact Captain Jon to confirm where your adventure will begin.

Don't forget to pack your snacks, drinks, and sunscreen. Fishing equipment is provided, but food and drink are not included. Captain Jon enjoys teaching beginners the art of fishing, so even if you join as a curious passenger, you'll leave the boat as an accomplished angler. Embark on your unforgettable Reel Attitude adventure in Chesapeake Beach – just choose the perfect time to set sail.
