Spend the day with 5 Star Sportfishing Charters and find out what the fishing in Ocean City is all about! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Brandon can tell you all about them.

Cobia, Tautog, Black Seabass, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Flounder, Redfish, Bluefish (Tailor), Blacktip Shark, Weakfish, Speckled Trout, Striped Bass, and more are in the cards, depending on the season.

For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Brandon also offers kite fishing.

You can take home any fish you catch, so long as it's legal. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home and throw it right into the pan. Bring a cooler ready in the car!

5 Star Sportfishing Charters welcomes kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Capt. Brandon will bring you aboard a 24' Skiff with space for 10 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

5 Star Sportfishing Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Ocean City. So, how about booking that trip?

A great day!
Half Day – Bottom/Reef/Sailfish on March 29, 20166 adults

Our family of 6 had an awesome time on the water with Captain Chad. Everything about our 4 hour trip was great. Captain Chad did a phenomenal job finding a great spot to fish and kept us catching fish the entire time. We have enough yellowtail to eat for the rest of our trip!!! The kids had a blast as did my wife and I. Back at the marina Chad and Brandon filleted all our 32 fish to perfection. We'll be back next year! Thanks guys!
