Dinner is something special. We clean and prepare fish caught that day. We also roast locally raised meats and serve salads and vegetable dishes made from produce grown on local farms. Dinner menus may also include crab cakes, flank steak, pork tenderloin, rice, and butter beans. There’s something for everyone, so please email your preferences or advise if you have dietary restrictions. Reasonable requests will be accommodated.

Note: Our mates are dedicated to ensuring your experience is nothing less than perfect. Our rates do not include the customary 20% tip for the mate, so please say “Thank you!” with a generous gratuity for exemplary service.
Fishing Gear/Fishing Techniques
All necessary fishing gear and bait is provided by your crew. There are three types of fishing in the Chesapeake: the first being trolling, the second light tackle fishing, and the third being bottom fishing. Aboard the Nancy Ellen, we choose our technique of fishing based on the time of the year. Our two preferred methods of fishing are bottom fishing and light tackle fishing. We believe that light tackle fishing gives every angler a more gratifying experience. However, during the spring trophy season while targeting the larger migrating striped bass, we troll.
