Fishing in Deale, MD, is among the best ways to explore the Chesapeake Bay. This small town boasts a large charter fleet, meaning that it’s a great place to start your journey. Four tidal creeks run to the bay here, giving you plenty of spots to explore, and the list of species you can find is almost endless.
As with everywhere on the Chesapeake Bay, Striped Bass (Rockfish) stand out here. These monstrous, meaty creatures put up an incredible fight and can be found in all of Deale’s waterways. Red Drum, Black Drum, and Bluefish are all available in the shallows. Flounder, Trout, Mackerel, Perch, Seabass, and many more delicious creatures fill these waters, too.
With such a range of charters, waterways, and fish on offer, it’s no surprise that there’s also a range of trips to choose from. Beginners and families can take advantage of half day adventures, with full day trips and longer reserved for more experienced anglers. There’s even the option to join a head boat, so if you’re on your own or on a budget, there’s something for you.
Fishing is possible year-round with spring and fall offering up the best action. Head down to the famous harbor, and you can experience some of the best fishing the East Coast has to offer.
