Captain Walt has been fishing the entire Chesapeake Bay (Maryland and Virginia portions) for over 40 years. He’s also been fishing the Atlantic seaside inlets and bays (Ocean City MD, Assateague VA, Chincoteague VA, Wachapreague VA, Oyster VA) in both Maryland and Virginia for the same time frame. While not fond of “heavy tackle” he prefers and specializes in light tackle, and also enjoys fly gear. While always promoting conservation, he welcomes “catch and release” as well as “catch and keep” anglers.

He was acknowledged by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources in 1998 as an “ALL MARYLAND ANGLER” for his achievement of catching six (6) different species citation fish during the MARYLAND SPORTFISHING TOURNAMENT. Those species were:

His fishing locations change with the seasons and the migration of fish species. While he’ll accommodate clients by meeting them anytime at any of the Atlantic seaside inlets or bays (Ocean City MD, Assateague VA, Chincoteague VA, Wachapreague VA, Oyster VA), his annual Chesapeake Bay fishing locations follow the following pattern each year:

Beginning each March and into early May – He fishes out of Havre de Grace Maryland fishing the Susquehanna Flats and Susquehanna River during the “Catch & Release Season” for the huge Striped Bass that migrate to the area from the Atlantic Ocean to spawn. In addition he’ll target White Perch during their spawning run.

From May through October - He fishes out of Crisfield Maryland for a multitude of species including (but not limited to) Striped Bass, Weakfish, Bluefish, Flounder, Spotted Sea Trout, Croaker, Red Drum, and Black Drum.

From November and into January - He fishes out of Cape Charles Virginia concentrating his efforts on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (CBBT) area for Striped Bass as they migrate to their winter grounds.
