Salty Siren Fishing (Northern Bay)
Based out of Pasadena, Maryland, Salty Siren Fishing specializes in light tackle Chesapeake Bay fishing with a heavy focus on shallow-water structure, jigging, and explosive topwater action.
We split our season between Pasadena, MD (Northern Bay) and Ridge, MD (Southern Bay) to stay on the best bite throughout the year. Be sure to check both listings for seasonal opportunities and species.
Captain Chuck Jones offers a hands-on, highly interactive fishing experience designed for anglers who want more than just a boat ride. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or brand new to the sport, these trips focus heavily on teaching techniques, reading water, understanding fish behavior, lure presentation, and improving your overall fishing skills.
This is NOT a trolling-focused charter. Most trips involve active casting with artificial lures using light tackle techniques that make every fish feel like a giant.
Depending on the season and conditions, you may target:
* Striped Bass (Rockfish)
* Red Drum
* Cobia
* Spanish Mackerel
* Bluefish
* Speckled Trout
* White Perch
Techniques commonly used include:
* Topwater fishing
* Light tackle jigging
* Casting artificials
* Popping
* Shallow-water structure fishing
One of our specialties is weekday evening trips during the prime summer bite. These trips often feature cooler temperatures, less boat traffic, beautiful sunsets, and some of the most aggressive shallow-water feeding activity of the day.
You'll fish aboard our 26' Chesapeake center console, a wide-open fishing platform built specifically for Chesapeake Bay waters. Its ultra-shallow draft allows access to areas many larger boats simply can't reach comfortably. The boat accommodates up to 6 anglers.
All rods, reels, tackle, and fishing licenses are included in your trip price.
Kids and families are always welcome aboard, and we love introducing new anglers to the sport.

Nicholas StewartRepeat angler5.0VerifiedTrophy Rockfish
Winter Striped Bass C&R - PM on January 11, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Chuck and 2nd Mate Sean were great. They knew where to find the fish and kept us on them. I went out with my 3 boys and all of us caught multiple trophy size Rockfish. Thank you!
Peter GrossmanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAmazing Fishing Experience
Afternoon Striper Bite on June 22, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenMy 2 sons and I had the best time with Captain Chuck and Suzy out on the water. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day of fishing. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and we caught our fill of rockfish. I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing experience. We will definitely book with them again.
Jing HuangRepeat angler5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Fishing Trip!
Winter Striped Bass C&R - PM on March 23, 2025 • 5 adultsCaptain Jones took us out on March 33rd, and the experience was incredible! We got a 38-inch catch just minutes in, followed by another an hour later, along with plenty of smaller ones. He really knows where to find the fish—everyone on the trip caught one! Plus, we got to celebrate a friend’s birthday, making the day even more special. We couldn’t be happier!
Leigh ChowRepeat angler5.0VerifiedExceeded All Expectations!
Sunset Topwater Walk-On on July 11, 2024 • 2 adultsI can’t say enough about how pleased I was with our trip with Captain Chuck and Salty Siren. My son caught his first striped bass and channel catfish and even I (who was really there for moral support and to watch birds) caught a big channel catfish! Capt. Chuck and his first mate were friendly, helpful, and did everything to make our experience amazing. My only disappointment was not getting to meet Suzie. Just another reason to book again. We will be back. Highly recommend!

West Sievers5.0VerifiedGreat experience
Afternoon Striper Bite on July 12, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 childI took my son and a few of his friends on the Salty Sirens charter for his 13th birthday. Everyone had a great time and everyone caught at least one fish. Captain Chuck and Salty Suzi were awesome. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better time on the water.
D Max5.0VerifiedAbsolutely Awesome Experience!!
Afternoon Striper Bite on October 5, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childOur 1st 3 generation annual fishing trip was extra special due to the professionalism and dedication of Salty Siren Fishing and Captain Chuck. From making sure we were in the right places for hook success to assisting our 5 year old grandson in snagging his first catch. With a special shout out to first mate Shawn, we highly recommend their services!!!

Sunset Topwater Walk-On on June 18, 2024 • 2 adultsCaptain chuck was awesome. He showed us the best techniques for success and brought us a few of his secret sites. We all caught a fish and we took home our limit! He was also very knowledgeable as we passed sites in the harbor and FSK bridge.
James Mackes5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!
Sunset Topwater on July 2, 2024 • 3 adultsMy dad, brother, and I had a great time. Conditions weren’t optimal, and the captain still got us onto some nice rock fish, and he even got me onto some fish on the fly rod. Looking forward to the next trip!

Captian Chuck is very knowledgable and shared his experieces. We caught some rock bass and lared more about Maryland fishing.
Captain Chuck and 2nd Mate Sean were great. They knew where to find the fish and kept us on them. I went out with my 3 boys and all of us caught multiple trophy size Rockfish. Thank you!
We booked an afternoon/evening fishing charter with Salty Siren as a birthday present for my husband. As someone who has only gone fishing once on a larger charter with live bait, this was really something totally different and special for me. Captain Chuck was patient, easygoing, knowledgeable and super friendly! While we only caught 1 fish because of the weather, we all had a great time and would absolutely do it again!
We had an incredible time with Captain Chuck for our Father’s Day celebration! He was warm, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had fun. From sharing local insights to accommodating our group’s needs with ease, Captain Chuck made the whole experience smooth and memorable. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate—highly recommend booking with him!
