Custom Chesapeake Bay Fishing Charters
Tidewater Charters’ home base from April through November of each year is on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Transitioning from Maryland and Virginia waters of the bay to keep anglers closer to the fish and increasing opportunities for success.
During our Chesapeake Bay Fishing Charters season, anglers are able to chase various species of fish the bay has to offer utilizing light tackle, fly, and live bait techniques.
On each of our adventures, we customize the perfect fishing experience based upon our anglers’ skillsets and objectives with respect to the species targeted.

Chesapeake Bay Striped Bass
and Shad fishing
During the spring months, Tidewater Charters can be found on the Upper Bay and Mid Chesapeake Bay. Fly fishing and light tackle anglers can chase giant striped bass in only a few feet of water at this time of year.
These fish climb out of their deep winter holding areas and give you a great opportunity to hook up with a truly massive fish. Anglers can throw giant streamers on 10 to 12wt fly rods or large soft baits, poppers, and crank baits on spinning and baitcasting equipment. Both Fly fishing and light tackle produce trophy fish. Very popular among fly anglers – the presence of American and Hickory Shad are a sure sign that spring is coming and hot action for those who like to fly rod in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Fly or jig fishing these prolific fish is a great time and the perfect opportunity for experienced anglers looking to have a fun day out or bring the kids. Lots of action and fiery fights to reel in is almost a guarantee. Contact Tyler now to book a Shad fishing trip.
