Cast a Line in CALVERT COUNTY, MD

Located 35 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., and 55 miles south of Baltimore, Calvert County is the perfect fishing getaway for city-goers and country-dwellers alike. With over 143 miles of shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent River, you’ll never run out of fish to catch!

The Chesapeake Bay

It’s no surprise that Calvert County is one of the best spots for fishing when you remember the entire east side is along the Chesapeake Bay. Head to the North Beach Pier, Breezy Point Beach or Flag Ponds Nature Park for spectacular views and the best fishing access points on the bay, or get out the water to do some trolling, chumming, live-lining or jigging to reel in a striped bass, or rockfish - one of the most popular sportfish in the MidAtlantic region! Throughout the summer, spend time on the bay to catch white perch, spot, croaker, blue fish and, if the water is warm enough, Spanish mackerel.
