Join Captain Pat Love of Back Creek Charters for five days of fishing the Chesapeake Bay. Each day the crew will depart The Heights by 7 am and return by 2:00 pm for a 2:30 pick up. (We also have spots available for Annapolis or Kent Island folks to meet us at the dock!) We set out for Annapolis or Kent Island where fishing from boats awaits us on the Glorious Chesapeake. Days are spent cruising the beautiful waters of the Severn River and the Chesapeake Bay. Young anglers fish all day learning about gear, tackle, boating, knots, jigging and live bait techniques all while hunting the iconic striped bass (rockfish) as well as perch, spot, catfish, drum, spanish mackerel, bluefish and blue crabs. In June, we take 6 anglers per boat on a few 23-25 foot center consoles. Each boat is led by a USCG captain with a Maryland Guide License on his vessel. Pat Love and Back Creek Charters oversees the plan for the day and we collaborate to give the boys a great experience. In July and August we depart from Kent Island aboard a beautiful 48′ boat and all 14 students go on one boat. Captain Pat Love is a USCG Coast Guard Captain and owner of Back Creek Charters, a guide business in Annapolis, MD. Click here or on logo below for more details.
In June we will be fishing with Captain Pat Love (Back Creek Charters), Captain Pedro Paz (Vasco da Gama Charters), and Captain Josh Pasquariello (Good Fishing Outdoors) with an opportunity to fish in the Light Tackle Guides Association Tournament. In July and August Captain Pat Love has collaborated with Captain Jason Seman aboard The Marylander for an amazing experience including freshly caught (by the kids) crabs served for us at Kentmorr Restaurant and Crab House. Both experiences offer something slightly different – the small boats go fast and fish skinny on light tackle, the big boat carries live bait and a 1200′ trotline for crabbing. All captains are safe on the water, experienced with kids and have young kids of their own! And the camp is offered through The Heights School: a Maryland Accredited Summer Camp which has provided adventure summer camps to the Washington DC area for decades!
