June 8, 2022 -- the cost of fuel...  Everyone is struggling with the daily increasing cost of fuel.  If you think it's bad when you drive up to put fuel in your car or truck, try it a couple times a day on the water.  We are therefore increasing our rates by increasing the minimum number of passengers per trip.  So instead of charging $720 for a minimum of 6 people, we now require 8 people for $920 during the week for half-day trips, which keeps the cost per person the same.  Friday thru Sunday half-day rates are now $1120 for a minimum of 10 people.  We believe this approach is fair for you our customers and for us on the Big Worm.  For more information, click here .

With the trophy Rockfish season in the rear view mirror, it's time to downsize a bit and catch some smaller fish.  Passengers aboard most charter boats including the Big Worm are now allowed two Rockfish 19 inches in length or over, although only one of those two fish may exceed 28 inches in length.  Most of the largest Rockfish have finished spawning and are moving south to return to the ocean, where they'll spend the summer and early fall months. Both morning and afternoon trips are offered, but don't delay -- call soon!  Keep in mind that the Big Worm is 52 foot long and 16 foot wide -- one of the largest charter boats operating on the Chesapeake Bay.
