Maryland Fishing and Hunting, LLC

Maryland's Premier Charter Boat for Fishing and Hunting on the Chesapeake Bay!

Crabbing Charters

Crabbing Trips are another great way to spend time with friends and family!

Typically crabs are caught from mid July to October 31st and are harvested using a 1200 foot trotline. Crabs are dipped or netted by your friends and family from the trotline, creating a memorable and lasting experience.

Crabbing trips aboard The Marylander are great for all ages, family, and friends! They are another great way to spend a day on the Chesapeake Bay!

A maximum of two bushel may be kept per trip for a Crabbing Charter Harvest.

• Note: Trip times vary seasonally due to changes from Sunrise to Sunset. Please also call at least 48 hours in advance to booking your Crabbing Trip. These trips take extra preparation prior to your voyage on the Chesapeake Bay. 

During your charter, Maryland Blue Crabs are harvested by our anglers using locally made dip nets on a 1200 foot trotline. As the Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs emerge from the depths its your task to catch these Maryland favorites!

Summer & Fall Trip Times: July 16th- October 31st

• Morning: 5:45 am-11:45 am
• Afternoon: 1:00 pm- 7:00 pm

* Note: *We are Closed for Crabbing Charters on Wednesday Afternoons!*

We enjoy having anglers of all ages aboard The Marylander! Crabbing is a cherished pastime that many Marylanders share. We look forward to creating memories with your family and friends on the Chesapeake Bay!

Rate & Gratuity: August 17th- October 31st  

Rate: Base price of $900 per trip for 6 anglers or less on board. Any additional angler is $150 per person with a maximum of 18 total anglers on board. Plus gratuity for your Mate.

Gratuity for the Mate is appreciated, as he works hard for you before and after your trip. Customary gratuity is 20-25% of the trip cost. Our Mates look forward to seeing you again on your next voyage!

Crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay is a great way to spend a day with friends and family. Peak season for Crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay is from Mid July until October 31st. As the season transitions from Summer to Fall, Blue Crabs begin to prepare for Winter. Traditionally they are the largest and the heaviest during this time period.

Crabs can be steamed after your trip upon request! We do require advance notice during your reservation process in order to prepare materials for the steaming process. We also need advance notice in order to plan to allocate time for steaming after your voyage with us. All crabs are steamed by Kentmorr Restaurant. Our anglers have the unique opportunity of dining on their days catch at one of the best restaurants on the Chesapeake Bay!

Note: We are not responsible for food allergies or illness related to preparation.

Recent fishing trip reviews.

I just got back from doing my last 2023 fishing trip from the Dolphin Docks. I may say these guys surely don't disappoint at all. This time was the 1st ... read more time I got on the flipper w Capt Clay & his mate Hue. It was somewhat rough, but this crew was awesome and took us to a great spot. I got a big surprise on this trip and got back to shore with a beautiful bull red. Just look at the golden color it has. Awesome job, Captain Clay & Hue!!! I shall return.

Great time on a 36 hour trip a year ago

Great Staff and Crew

Me and my son went on the captain Paul and enjoyed it a lot. Caught sand trout and undersized red snapper. Returned to water. Definitely going again

This is our second 36 hour trip with La Pesca this year. Both times were a blast! The captains are friendly and knowledgeable, if you aren’t catching they move to ... read more where they are. We’ve never went away empty handed! The deck hands are also quick and ready to help as well. I recommend using dolphin docks for any of your fishing trips!

Always have a good experience here rain or shine. This time was able to bring my kids out.

Great crew. They are very helpful and will take care of anyone regardless of their skill level fishing deep sea.

Dolphin express best tuna trip in the gulf

Excellent.. crew is amazing

Booked a 4hr. Staff was excellent and helpful. The boat was a great experience.

Great folks at reasonable prices. Will definitely be coming back next trip. We took a 4 hr trip and had a blast.

Had fun it was a little rough but I enjoyed it.

Great time fishing. Capt. and deck hands were top notch

This is the second trip my granddaughter and I have chartered with this group, and I highly recommend taking a fishing trip with them. Their crews work hard to get ... read more you on fish and to keep you fishing. The first trip we limited out on Snapper, on the second trip we limited out on shark, and a had a few other fish as well... at the end of the trip the crew will pass a bucket for tips. On other outfitters I have tipped 20% of the cost of the trip. It's not required but I highly recommend that you budget for it. The crew works very hard and I would say they deserve it.

I had a great time I took the 8hr trip I caught 4 fish wod definitely recommend

Best deep sea fishing god service there is I promise you won't regret going fishing with those guys

Deposit / Cancellation Policy: Cancellation notice must be given 21 days in advance for Salmon, Combo, and Bottomfish trips. If cancelled within 21 days, you are required to pay for your spots in full unless we are able to fill them. Halibut trips require prepayment and are non-refundable unless your spot can be filled. Anyone who shows up intoxicated will not be allowed to go fishing, and they will not be given a refund. No exceptions.

Rockfish and Lingcod

Rockfish and Lingcod opening day is March 9th, 2024.

Our traditional Bottomfish trip is still the favorite for most. With a 7 fish limit, action on the Black or Yellowtail rockfish gets fast and furious. This is an all ages event, never a dull moment! In addition to the rockfish, we are also allowed to keep 2 Lingcod per person. Lingcod are ugly, but mmm… they taste so good! Herring, shrimp fly lures, and live anchovies are the proven “fish getters” year after year. Thanks to the rebuilding of Canary Rockfish stocks, and the willingness of our fishery managers to relax the regulations, Canary are now 100% keepers! They can make a colorful addition to 7 fish rockfish limit. GET THE FRY PAN HOT! WE’RE GOIN’ FISHIN’! (No Braided Line please if you bring your own rod/reel) 2024 Costs: $250 includes pole, bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket. Check-In at Float 10 on the Hula Girl by 5:30 AM

Call Today: 360-268-0900

Salmon Fishing

Opening Day Will be announced in April 2024

This is the foundation trip that put Westport on the map as early as the 1950’s. Salmon are one of the most exciting sport fish ever known, and they are all the rage at Westport Charters. Ocean caught Salmon are not just beautiful to look at, they are awesome to catch and also second to none if you desire flavor! A Salmon fresh from the sea, prepared with your special recipe, will have your taste buds dancing and anxious for your next trip to Westport. Chinook and Coho salmon (nicknamed Kings and Silvers) are the top prizes for anglers fishing at Westport Charters. (No Braided Line please if you bring your own rod/reel) Salmon fishing generally opens in late June and runs through mid September.

Regulation Updates will be posted here

2024 Costs: $250 includes pole, bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket. Check-In at 5:00 AM

Combination Trip s

Will start after Salmon opens, hopefully by late June or early July

Can’t decide whether to salmon or bottomfish this season? Our combination salmon/bottomfish trip just might interest you. As the name implies, we combine a bottomfish trip with a salmon trip on the same day; generally targeting rockfish and salmon. They work great for people with busy lives who might only have one chance a year to come to Westport. If you love the taste of fresh whitefish fillets, but desire the thrill of a “Big King” on your line and can’t decide, our combination trip is for you! We get to catch a lot of fish on this trip, so we scoot the departure time just a little bit earlier. Sorry sleepyheads. For more information and selected dates on combo trips, give us a call. HAVE FUN!! You can also click on the boat tab above to see the Hula Girl fishing schedule. (No Braided Line please if you bring your own rod/reel)

Regulation Updates will also be posted here 2024 Costs: $325 includes bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket. Check-In at Float 10 on the Hula Girl by 4:30 AM

Deepwater Lingcod

June 1 – 15 and September 1 – 30.

The deepwater trip will target Lingcod (large variety) and a variety of rockfish. Thanks to the rebuilding of certain groundfish species and the relaxing of regulations by our fishery managers, we now get to offer, for a limited time, this special Deepwater Fishing Trip. We are also happy to say that Canary Rockfish (but not Yelloweye) which have been off limits for years are now rebuilt and available to us in the rockfish limit. Great News!!! These trips will take place in offshore waters that have been closed for many years (except for the few select halibut directed days). We are really excited to add this Deepwater experience to our suite of fishing opportunities. As with all other trips, these will be limited loads. Trips will be available during the first two weeks of June and all of September. That is how the regulations are set up so we are promoting this Deepwater Trip during the two open periods. Remember, like Halibut, these trips can be physically demanding, so if you’re a bit frail or new to ocean fishing we continue to recommend the regular bottomfish trip that still targets the delicious whitefish, Lingcod and Rockfish, and typically fishes in depths less than 300 feet. For more Deepwater Lingcod trip details please click on this link… 2024 Costs: $350 includes bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket. Check-In at Float 10 on the Hula Girl by 4:30 AM

Halibut / Bonus Trip

2024 Halibut Dates :

• Thursday, May 2nd
• Sunday, May 5th
• Tuesday, May 7th
• Thursday, May 9th
• Sunday, May 12th

• Thursday, May 16th
• Sunday, May 19th
• Tuesday, May 21st
• Thursday, May 23rd
• Tuesday, May 28th
• Thursday, May 30th

This is a physically demanding trip, but extremely popular with the adventurous. Fishing depths range up to 700 feet, and we generally travel out 35 miles. Regulations restrict Halibut fishing to designated days until the quota is reached. Rockfish and/or Lingcod are also pursued as a secondary target when time and weather permit. These additional fish make a great Bonus to an already exciting trip! Remember, space is limited, so to avoid disappointment, book early. We begin taking reservations on January 1st, 2024 for these selected dates.

2024 Costs: $425 includes bait, tax, gear, and derby ticket. Check-In at Float 10 on the Hula Girl by 3:30 AM We generally return to port by 3 PM

Always an awesome time when we go out with these guys on the Lady K.

The crew is awesome and treats you good while making you laugh and educating you on the fish you catch. Give them a try. 4hr trips and the price is good too.

– J. Brown

Great experience so far. I attend a second trip with this boat but this time with my wife and son. I have to say they had a great time. It was a different captain and different mate but they were just as awesome as the last crew we went out with. The mate was very patient with my family because of the inexperience we have with drift fishing. Without a complaint and a smile on his face he baited our hooks and untangle our line.

My bf and I have gone fishing twice already and we wish we could do it every weekend. It’s lots of fun and the crew and captain are very friendly and helpful! Totally recommended!

Captain, Christian and the rest of the crew were phenomenal. We brought our 6 and 9 year old out they had an absolute blast. Truly appreciate the patience and attention to detail on teaching the little ones how to safely fish. Bonus, everyone snagged at least one fish! Highly recommend for a day out with the family.

Thanksgiving weekend no appt needed we called the day before and arrived 1 hour before the boat took off. We did the 8am to 12pm trip and it was amazing!! These guys were so helpful and cool to hangout with. We caught a Kingfish they cleaned and cut for us. This is the 1st of many!! Highly recomended.

From Ohio…..HIGHLY RECOMMEND We went out on a morning and an afternoon trip. The boat is very clean and organized. The crew & staff are experts at their trade. Very helpful above & beyond expectations. Thank you Ashley, Captain Bruce, Jake, and Buster for making this a “Forever-Memory” for our family vacation! You guys made this one of the very best parts of our Christmas vacation. We really look forward to getting back to do this again as soon as we can. WE WILL BE BACK !!!

Captain Marc is an awesome guy. Very friendly and super helpful, funny and energetic. The crew was knowledgeable and helpful. For sure going again.

What to Expect on Your First Deep Sea Fishing Trip

We recently celebrated my son’s 16th birthday.  When I asked him what he wanted to do to celebrate this milestone, I was expecting him to want a party or maybe even ask for a reason to use his passport. What he actually asked for surprised me — he wanted a deep sea fishing trip with his friends. I didn’t see that coming. No denying him, he’s totally my kid.  Of course he wants an adventure for his birthday! That’s definitely not what most 16 years his age are asking for and I was more than happy to oblige his request. 

After a bit of research and recommendations from friends I settled on a half day trip with Hubbard’s Marina . Hubbard’s Marina is one of the oldest charter boat companies in the St. Petersburg area. They are 4th generation family owned and operated since 1928!  They leave for various trips daily out of John’s Pass and I was so happy they were excited to work with me and provide a comped trip for me and my son in exchange for providing my first hand review of my experience.  They also offer dolphin tours, kayak and segway rentals, and they run a ferry to Egmont Key from Fort Desoto State Park.  Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse and we had to change the day we had originally scheduled which meant his friends would no longer be able to come with us.   J had his heart set on it so he was perfectly ok with it just being me and him.

This was totally out of my comfort zone but it is something I’ve always been curious to try. I’ve been fishing many times but this is nothing like bass fishing on a lake or in a river. I was nervous about getting seasick.  I was also feeling a bit insecure about my fishing skills and had no idea what to expect on my first deep sea fishing trip.  I wasn’t sure I would be able to handle the rod and reel and I was afraid I would be embarrassed or uncomfortable because I’m such a novice.  This is when I have to remind myself that I live the “adventure is a lifestyle” way so I have to suck it up and just go for it.

Thankfully I was worried about absolutely nothing!  Hubbard’s crew makes the day very easy for you. You have the option of bringing your own gear if you are a deep sea fishing guru but most people pay to rent the poles directly from Hubbard’s.  They provide a tub of cut up squid to use for bait. Some people opted to purchase shrimp as well but we decided we would stick to the basics. The process is pretty easy.  You show up about 30 minutes ahead of boarding time, check in and pay.

Another great benefit they offer is a meal plan which includes water, soda, a breakfast sandwich or a lunch sandwich and 2 snack items.  We chose this option and it was very convenient.  You are allowed to bring a cooler so you can save some money by packing your own lunch but with just the 2 of us I didn’t bother.  Just don’t pack alcohol because it is not allowed.  You can purchase beers onboard the boat.

Once you’re onboard you pick your spot and place your pole in the numbered holder.  If you are like me and my son with sensitive allergies to cigarette smoke I suggest trying to get a spot that’s toward either end of the boat.  If you do happen to get sandwiched in between smokers and it becomes an issue for you just let the crew know.  They are super accommodating and the boat is big enough to shift folks around to make you as comfortable as possible.  I would also recommend bringing a scarf to wrap around your nose and mouth. That helped me tremendously.

It took about an hour to make it offshore to our spot.  The captain wanted to get us out a little further than he had gone the day before to clearer waters where it wasn’t so churned up. During that time it’s a nice pleasant ride out to sea.  You go inside to get your safety briefing and instruction on how to use the equipment.  After that you can have a snack inside or sit outside and enjoy the sea air. You can also go upstairs to the covered seating area for some pretty views.  This is where the captain’s wheelhouse is too so you can knock on the door and say hello and if he’s not too busy he just might let you in to take a look from behind the wheel!

Once we had found our spot, the captain gave the all clear to get your lines in the water and our fishing began.  Normally I’m the biggest baby when it comes to bait.  I absolutely abhor worms of any kind unless they are artificial. I’ve used live shrimp but catching them and then skewering them onto the hook without killing them is not my favorite thing to do either.  Squid was super easy! It’s cut up in chunks so there’s really nothing gross about it. However, it smells awful and it can stain your clothes so it’s best to have a towel. I also wore gloves because I’m a whimp and I didn’t want the fish scales to cut my hands. Don’t judge me, okay?

In case you wanted to see what a slab of squid looks like…

No sooner than I was getting my bait onto my hook for my first drop into the water did the teenager pull out the first catch of day!!! It happened so fast! I guess that was birthday boy luck! I couldn’t even get a picture of it fast enough.  Not to worry though, he had many more catches throughout the day!

When you catch your first fish they assign you a number and this is your number for the day.  They will put all of your fish under that string number and give you your fish at the end of the trip.  So don’t forget this number because every time you catch a fish they will ask you for that number.

It didn’t take long for me to hook my first fish too!  This is my kind of fishing.  I know you’re supposed to enjoy the quiet and the water and the breeze and all of that but I’m not that kind of fisherman. I like catching or it’s not fun for me.  We were catching mostly gray snapper.  We also snagged a few red grouper and I caught a flounder.  Unfortunately we had to throw the grouper and the flounder back due to the size requirements.  A couple near us caught a nice sized black sea bass as well and they got to keep it. The crew does a great job of getting your fish quickly and putting it on ice. They check to be sure the fish meets regulation.  If it’s not a keeper they let you know right away and set it free.

So who takes your fish off the hook for you?  The crew will come by and take it off for you but when it gets busy that’s wasted fishing time to wait for them to come by so I finally stopped being a baby and took them off myself.  Since I was wearing gloves it wasn’t so bad.

If your line somehow gets tangled or you bring up a piece of coral like my son did, the crew will come and get you squared away.  If you need a new hook they replace it for you. It’s all the benefits of going fishing with a boyfriend LOL.  The hard work is taken care of and you can simply enjoy fishing.

You can’t eat coral….back in the water you go!

We had about 3 hours of fishing time and it flew by!  We moved to several different spots to give us the best shot at getting to the fish. Before I knew it was time to reel them up and head back to the docks.  I couldn’t believe it went by so fast.  Time flies when you’re fighting the big one! I had several bites where the fish got away. It was quite the work out.  Let me tell ya. But all in all I had a pretty stellar day.  Between the two of us we took home about 15 fish!

So after you return to the marina, what do you do with your fish? You take them home with you and eat up!  If you’re anything like me, I have zero skills in the art of fish gutting, cleaning, or filleting. I also have zero interest in acquiring these skills.  The awesome Hubbard’s crew will clean and filet your catch for you right there on the dock for a low low price of 1$ for every 3 fish. That is a service worth paying for!  You get to go home with filleted fish in a bag of ice ready to be baked, broiled, fried or prepared however you like. I was told that some of the restaurants at John’s Pass will cook your catch for you but I didn’t investigate that option because I wanted to prepare it myself.

You also get a free comedy show watching the pelicans fight over the discarded fish remnants

So far we have broiled and blackened our gray snapper and both were excellent.  It’s a great mild flaky fish. There’s nothing more rewarding than eating what you caught from mother nature with your own two hands.

Hubbard’s Marina went out of their way to provide great service for the entire trip.  If you’re a novice, they will put your fears completely at ease.  This is definitely my kind of fishing and it will not be my last deep sea fishing trip for sure!  I think when the weather turns to spring I want to try the half day night fishing trip!  We saw old, young, men, women, families, and even little fisher dudes. This is a really family friendly activity. If it’s something you’ve always wanted to try then go for it!

Things to know to plan your own outdoorsy adventure and what to expect on your first deep sea fishing trip:

• Cost: $55 +tax for adults and half price for 11 years old and under; Pole rental is an additional $7.50 plus tax
• Dress appropriately .  If it’s winter like it was for us wear layers and a good undergarment foundation to protect yourself from the elements. If it’s summer….well you’re gonna burn up because we live in Florida and you know that already so just be ok with it. I would probably only go out on the morning trips in the summer time personally because of the heat factor.  But it will be worth it when you catch all of those fish.  Make sure you wear sunscreen no matter what time of year.  Also wear something you don’t mind getting fishy because squid juice…
• Shoe Gam e – Wear a shoe with a rubber bottom and you probably don’t want open toed shoes because of squid juice and flopping fish and hooks. Divas this is a great time to rock those cute sporty rain boots.  Also go for comfort because while there are benches onboard the boat, you cannot fish from sitting down.  You will be on your feet for a while.
• Bring a hand towel and gloves
• Bring cash – While you can pay for your reservation with a card, you may need cash for incidentals like a hand towel and gloves.  You will also want to tip your awesome crew for taking such great care of you and pay to have your fish cleaned.
• Bring a cooler and pack your lunch . I didn’t have time to go get stuff but if I had taken my son and his friends as we planned originally I would have definitely packed up a cooler of drinks and lunch.   Just remember no alcohol.
• Don’t bring a banana on the boat . Fisherman believe this is bad luck so don’t be the goober to pull a banana out of your bag.
• Bring an insulated cooler bag or small cooler to put your fish in for the ride home.
• Take motion sickness medication – If you know you get seasick or you aren’t sure, there’s no need to risk being miserable.  My son and I both took ours a half hour before our trip and we had no issues though I have experienced motion sickness in the past without taking anything.
• Bring a great attitude and your patience because this is fishing and while we had a great day of catching it’s never a guarantee.  You might not catch a darn thing…it’s not the norm but it happens.

Although this was a sponsored activity, all opinions are my own.  If we had a miserable time, you’d know it. I promise.   Full Disclosure .

OMG – you brought back so many great memories fishing with my boys from the same place! Great experience – OH and PS Loving those boots!!!!

With a smile, Carlyn 🙂

TampaBayBloggers

Thanks Carlyn. That’s great that you shared this memory with your boys too! And I’m glad you like my rain boots!

Jay | RelaxedThairapy.com

I have never been deep sea fishing but I’ve been country fishing in creeks, lakes and ponds. 🙂 Those were some fun times with my great grandmother. Love the boots!

Thanks for reading Jay.

I love how you’re committed to the outdoors lifestyle!! Not sure if deep sea fishing is for me, but that grilled snapper sure does make me consider trying it at least once!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I hope one day you are able to give it a try.

Dana Carmel

I’ve always wanted to try deep sea fishing! Whenever we go to the Caribbean, I always look into the prices, but it’s always too expensive to justify. But the prices at Hubbard’s are very reasonable. I think it’s so cool that your son chose to spend his bday deep sea fishing – what a unique guy.

Thanks for reading Dana! I’ve checked while on vacation too and I agree the prices are pretty outrageous. I usually just end up booking a snorkeling trip instead. If you you ever come to the Tampa Bay area definitely check them out. 🙂

I freaking love this. It is so outside of the box. You son is way cool, I’ve never been deep sea fishing. I need to add that to my bucket list.

Lol Thanks Mimi! He gets it from his mama. Seriously, I was impressed with him. You should totally add it to your list.

What an awesome adventure! The price isn’t bad at all.

Aisha Johnson Adams

What a great idea! I love it… What a creative way for him to spend his birthday. My son thinks he would like fishing, but he is passionate about throwing the fish back…lol

First off, your boots are super cute! lol. I have never been fishing before, but I definitely want to go one day. I hear its lots of fun

T. Espinoza

This brought back so many memories for me. My dad used to take me fishing when we lived in NY and I loved it! I think my kiddos are still a little young but this is definitely on the list of things to do.

Sarah Anderson

Packing a cooler for lunch is fairly smart. This way you are able to eat as soon as you get hungry, and don’t have to wait for the boat to get back to the docks. I didn’t know about the banana thing though, I’ll have to keep that in mind the next time my family goes on a fishing trip.

That’s good you were able to get recommendations from friends on places to choose for this. Things like that makes finding a good company to take you out on the trip so much easier. I’ve never been deep sea fishing myself though, I should try it out sometime.

Jenny Coacher

Awesome write up. I believe in professionals so this is a very useful article for everyone. Great content, very useful information. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent post. I am impressed with your writing skills. Keep up posting such valuable information. Kudos for you Dude!

Alexandria Martinez

My fiance and I are about to go on a deep sea charter trip and have never been before. We really liked your advice to wear shoes with rubber bottoms. Being on a boat for as long as we will be it will come in handy to have shoes with water proof bottoms.

Awesome. I hope you had a wonderful trip. I’m glad my advice was helpful.

Elsa Anderson

It’s interesting to learn how fun a fishing charter trip can be since the crew is there to help you enjoy your fishing trip as much as possible. They would do everything from unhooking your fish, replacing broken hooks, untangling fishing lines, and others as you’ve mentioned. That would be great since I’ve heard my dad speaking of wanting to fish once more. He used to do it as a hobby back then since we used to live near the ocean and even have our own boat. I’ll schedule a trip with my dad and hire a charter for us. This way we can enjoy fishing without any worries. Thanks!

I am really impressed with the information that you share in this post. Great job dear.

Steele Honda

Thanks for pointing out that when going on a fishing trip you should wear a shoe with a rubber bottom and you probably don’t want open-toed shoes because of squid juice and flopping fish and hooks. I am thinking about surprising my husband with a fishing trip for our anniversary because I think that he would love. I’ve never really been fishing before so I’ll have to remember to get rubber bottom shoes and probably to take some sea sickness pills with me.

Ashley Johnson

I thought it made a lot of sense when you said that you should bring motion sickness medication when you go deep sea fishing. I have noticed that I get seasick when I am on a boat and that is one reason that stops me from wanting to deep sea fish. I will have to consider taking motion sickness medication on my boating trips.
