Solomon Island, Maryland Fishing Charters

Welcome to Time Off Charters

Chesapeake Bay is home to America's most important Navy base, but there's a lot more than submarines and warships to be found in those waters. It's one of the biggest estuaries in North America, and it's also full of fish. People have been taking advantage of the bounty of Chesapeake Bay for hundreds of years - first the Native American tribes of the area, then settlers from the old world, and now, with the help of Captain Dale Weems of Time Off Charters, you and your friends or family.

With two fine, seaworthy vessels available, Time Off Charters can accommodate groups of up to six people for exciting fishing adventures or cruises. The flagship, Time Off, is a 33 foot Proline Express that is best suited for a small group of four or less. Larger groups will enjoy the spacious deck and large cockpit of the Yukon Jack, a 38 foot Tiara. Both of Time Off Charters's boats are equipped with high-tech electronics and navigational tools, and they'll have all the fishing gear you need ready and waiting when you step aboard. Comfort is assured with a full complement of amenities including air conditioning, heating, TVs, bathrooms and refrigerators.

Chesapeake Bay Charter Fishing

Whether you're an experienced angler or a novice who's never even baited a hook before, Time Off Charters will provide a fun-filled day of fishing for some regional favorites. In a place like Chesapeake, where fresh water meets salt water on a massive scale, there are always lots of fish. You have the open expanse of the Bay on one hand and the twin rivers, the Potomac and the Patuxent, on the other.

Wherever your fishing trip takes you, Captain Dale can put you on the fish using the knowledge and experience of a long-time, born and bred native of the area. There are lots of target species for Solomon Island fishermen, and the popularity of each one may vary depending on the season. Get ready to fill the boat with Speckled and Gray Trout, Flounder, Striper and Spanish Mackerel.

Rates start at $200 for a 2 hour harbor cruise. A five hour trip is $400 for the Time Off and $500 for the Yukon Jack. Eight hour trips are also available, at $575 and $625. Bring a camera, a cooler and/or plastic bags to transport your catch; fish cleaning is also available upon request. Don't forget drinks and snacks, and be sure to pack sunscreen and any other weather-relevant items.
