The Why Knot Charters Regulator 26 is operated by a professional tournament winning full time USCG licensed and insured Captain who specializes in ocean structure bottom fishing for Black Sea Bass, Flounder, Tilefish, Mahi, Triggerfish and more. Whether you are a seasoned angler or beginner interested in fishing, or an individual/small group looking to enjoy a day on the water - possibly exploring

a port on the Chesapeake Bay or having lunch at a destination, we have you covered. Longer range trips in coastal and offshore waters focus on some of the same species while fishing wrecks and reefs, and expanding the catch to include tautog, black sea bass, drum, triggerfish and spadefish.

Well, the bite was on yesterday, but we had the toughest time trying to get on a group of jumbos now the fish we had was a good class of Black Sea Bass and we had a full boat limit (90) In addition to that several big chopper bluefish, and 1 mahi and threw back several short flounder which rounded out the cart full. Nevertheless fun day on the water with this group from New York.

We had a blast yesterday, even through the puffing North winds (yes once again a missed forecast).
We had a full boat (6) yesterday and the fish were happy to see us arrive.
Limits of quality Black Sea Bass and Bluefish plus throw in a few Flounder makes for bags and bags of fillets.
Fun day of catching with some new and some returning customers on the Why Knot Charters Regulator.
