Amazing fishing charter experince with captain Mike
6 hour trip -Bottom wreck fishing on September 27, 20255 adults

We had an amazing day out on the water with Captain Mike and Mate Mike! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure our trip was fun, and memorable. Not only did we catch plenty of fish, but the whole experience was full of energy, laughs, and great company. They worked hard to make sure everything was taken care of, which let us relax and just enjoy the excitement of fishing. Thank you, Captain Mike, for an unforgettable trip! Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a top-notch ocean fishing adventure. We will back.

Captain Mike is the real deal!!
8 Hour Trip on October 25, 20253 adults

Everything about this trip was amazing. Captain Mike knows his stuff. He knows the Atlantic waters off Lewes and brought us to the fish, not once or twice, but all day. We caught 30 keepers-mostly large Black bass, Sea bass, Black fish, and a real treat, Triggerfish. My two friends and I will be making this an annual trip. Thanks Mike - you’re awesome!

Reported catch:
Black Seabass

Thanks for the great review Keith. Not only were you guys great to have on board, but fished hard in less than desirable conditions. Looking forward to seeing your group next year. We’ll stay in touch. Capt Mike

I have fished the waters off Delaware and Maryland as a captain for over 40 years. Before that I was a mate for 10 years. I've been fortunate enough to fish the East Coast, Bahamas, Mexico and throughout the Caribbean.
