Reel Chesapeake is a fishing/adventure blog created in January 2022 by James Houck, lifetime Annapolitan, avid angler, and media professional. Reel Chesapeake is a passion project; an online silo and social site to share fishing adventures, insights, and general information about the local angling scene, as well as the outdoors, culture, and communities of the Chesapeake Bay region. Here, you’ll find weekly reporting of fishing adventures (what went right or wrong and how-tos), photography, resources to help you grow as a Chesapeake Bay region angler, event listings, angling news, and occasional chatter about the scene.

Our social handle/channels include @reelchesapeake on Instagram, Threads, and Facebook.
