Chesapeake Crabbing - Chesapeake Blue Crabs - Catch your own crab feast!
Chesapeake Blue Crab Charters
Chesapeake Crabbing onboard the Down Time
Bring home a Chesapeake Bay Crab Feast with our exciting crabbing charter! Enjoy the great tradition of crabbing in the Chesapeake by catching the delicious Maryland Blue Crab using a commercial-style 'Trot Line.'
Our morning crabbing on the Chesapeake will involve the use of a trot line for the Maryland Blue Crab, ensuring you have a fantastic Maryland Crab Feast experience.
All equipment, including line and bait, will be provided.
Capt. Frank has over 40 years of experience in crabbing on the Chesapeake, making him the perfect guide for your crab fishing charter. He will help you navigate from his dock on the Magothy River, one of the best crabbing spots on the bay.
With Capt. Frank's extensive expertise, you'll learn how to crab with a commercial trot line, just like countless Bay watermen have done for hundreds of years.
