Brian Mullaney
Wanna Be Angler offers private bass fishing charters on the Chesapeake Bay, guided by Captain Brian Mullaney. Based in Maryland and operating on the Upper Chesapeake Bay, this charter is built for anglers who want a personal, relaxed, and educational experience on historic waters.

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States, known for its diverse fishery and ever-changing conditions. These waters reward patience, timing, and local insight. Captain Brian loves guiding here because every trip is different, from quiet backwaters to wide-open stretches of the Bay.
