Fishing

St. Mary’s County has always been a favorite place to fish and for good reason!

This peninsula is bounded by the Patuxent and Potomac Rivers and the Chesapeake Bay so we’ve got wide open water, fast-flowing rivers, serene tidal creeks, and even a fine freshwater trophy bass lake! If you’re a serious fisherman or you're just casting about for some fun, we can deliver.
