Catch it. Care for it. Bring home the best possible fish for the table.
Join Captain Joey Tompkins of Fish Taxi Light Tackle Charter Fishing and CCA Maryland Assistant Director Jesse Howe for a unique 4-hour Chesapeake Bay fishing and Ike Jime experience for up to four anglers.
Spend the trip targeting some of the Chesapeake's favorite gamefish - including striped bass (rockfish), red drum, and speckled trout - while learning how proper fish handling can dramatically improve the quality of your catch.
In addition to a great day of light-tackle fishing, your group will receive personalized, hands-on instruction in Ike Jime and onboard fish care. Learn techniques for dispatching, bleeding, handling, and chilling your catch to preserve freshness, texture, and flavor from the moment it leaves the water until it reaches your dinner table.
This is a fantastic trip for anglers who love both catching great fish and eating great fish - and want to take their fish-handling skills to the next level.
