If you're looking for some of the best bay fishing that Ocean City, Maryland has to offer, look no further than Just A Toy Guide Service. They encourage both experts, beginners, and kids to come and catch fish with them.
For Captain Robert Anderson, fishing has been a passion all his life. He was hooked the first time his mother took him to a little creek for Catfish. His first job was as a mate on a head boat, fishing for Seabass and Cod. Over the years, he has acquired a great knowledge of the waters in the area. Even as times change, he keeps up with them, updating his techniques and tackle. He promotes catch and release so that the future young anglers can enjoy the sport he loves.
His boat is a 30' Century center console that can carry up to 4 anglers fishing simultaneously. Fully restored in 2018, it boasts twin 250 HP Mercury Verado engines, ice-boxes, and top-notch safety/navigational gear.
There are many different species and techniques to catch them, such as jigging, drifting, casting, and trolling. You'll be targeting Striped Bass, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and more. The captain also specializes in night fishing for Stripers.
He runs his trips are year-round, so you can expect different species depending on the season. Spring will bring Tautog, Flounder, Bluefish and some Stripers. Fall fishing is excellent as well, with Flounder still hanging around Seabass and Tautog. When migrating Striper show up just off the beach, the captain will break out the planer boards and trolling gear to pick up some trophy size fish.
Just A Toy Guide Service uses only the best Penn gear so you can have the highest chances of landing that fish of your dreams. They provide soft drinks and water with some snacks, but you are welcome to bring your own.
So come join them and have the best time of your life!

Jessica Poland•
Maryland, USMember since 20265.0Verifiedwould definitely book again!!!
4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing - 7:00 AM on August 20, 2026 • 6 adultsHad a great time! Trip consisted of two teens, my husband and I as well as my 67 yr old mother. We all had a great time and caught fish. Boat had plently of room for everyone to fish and plenty of sitting room to take a break and rest your legs, did not feel like we were right on top of each other. Captain and grew were great! Captain was super laid back ( good energy is key for me!) and did everything he could to make sure we caught fish! Captain took us to different spots throughout bay and we used a variety of bait. First mate was very knowledgeable and kept our lines equipped and baited to ensure we were constantly fishing. I booked “Just a Toy” after searching through different captains and reading reviews, and had the best possible experince. We caught Tog right out the gate ( multiple) and then the flounder started biting and caught a few flounder. Overall would definitely book again and highly recommend!!!!
Greg Hanichak•Pennsylvania, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedIncredible experience
2 Hour Trip – Bay on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childThis was my 4 year old son’s first time on a boat and he caught his first fish. Both Captain Wayne and First Mate Tyler were perfect with him letting him do as much as he wanted to without pushing the limits too far when he got a little scared. We did a 2 hour morning trip and we were on fish the entire time. My wife also handed the first fish of her life and had a wonderful time even though she didn’t expect to ever hold a rod. In two hours we probably boated a dozen fish or so, with another handful that fell off or missed hook sets as my wife and son were learning. I’m definitely coming back again and would recommend it to anyone. It was enjoyable for me as someone who has fished for 34 years, my wife who never fished before, and my little one who has only ever fished with worm and a bobber and a kiddie rod. We also got to see a pod of dolphins which my son loved and the captain set the boats drift so we can see them longer and let me son enjoy the dolphins once we started to lose his interest.
Michael WiseRepeat angler•Pennsylvania, US•Member since 20243 trips5.0VerifiedNewAwesome morning on the water
5 Hour Trip — Wreck on September 5, 2026 • 2 adultsi caught a flying robin on my first cast. My son in law had a sea bass within 2 minutes. We both were catching something at the most 10 minutes apart. The conversation was fun and always laughing. The captain and mate were always there to help and give instructions. I would recommend a trip with them anytime.
Jim PryRepeat angler•Ohio, US•Member since 20249 trips5.0Verifiedrain or shine...fish on!
4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing - 7:00 AM on June 19, 2026 • 1 adultFirst time and first day fishing in Ocean City...fished for 4 hours in the rain. Other than that...Capt and crew were great. Caught several tautogs, a few rockfish, a sheepshead and a skate. also tried for flounder..wasnt our day. Appreciated the capt working to catch as many species as possible per my request in a challenge to catch 50 species in 50 weeks. added 4 today and now at 35 with 3 more days in OC.
Robin CloseRepeat angler•Maryland, US•Member since 20253 trips5.0VerifiedHoly tog!
3 Hour Trip – Bay (12PM) on April 11, 2026 • 1 adultI thought it would be hard to top my last tautog trip with these guys, and I’m so happy to be wrong. We went to a different spot this time, and things were really slow for about an hour, but then we found the right spot and didnt look back! I think the smallest tog I caught would have been my biggest coming into today, and my biggest blew those away. A fun and knowledgeable crew, and an amazing afternoon of fishing!
Jeffrey Swarey•Pennsylvania, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewSuccessful trip!
4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing - 7:00 AM on September 17, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenCouldn't have asked for more. Captain was friendly and patient with the 3 kids under 10 who came with us. We got on fish early and had a good morning.
David KovalRepeat angler•Pennsylvania, US•Member since 20212 trips5.0Verified5hr Wreck Trip
5 Hour Trip — Wreck on July 25, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childWe did the 5hr wreck trip. The weather wasn’t the best as it was raining with a northeast wind. The captain had us on the fish all morning. He and the mate worked hard and we had an awesome day of fishing. Would 100% recommend his services and wouldn’t hesitate to be a repeat customer.
Renee Dahlstrom•Pennsylvania, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedBeautiful day fishing!
2 Hour Trip – Bay - 12:00 PM on July 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great time fishing! All my son wanted to do at the Ocean was to go fishing and he was do excited to catch a flounder! I was a bit sea sick (I'm more sensitive than most) so the Captain was sensitive to my need and got us to still waters. My kids had a great time out on the boat!!
Travis HowardRepeat angler•Pennsylvania, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0Verifiedgood trip
3 Hour Trip – Bay on June 30, 2026 • 4 adultscaught lots of tautog. we were targeting sheeps but didnt find any. hooked something big, captain assumed it was a rwd drum, fought it for nearly 20 minutes and it broke off when it was almost to the boat. captain and mate were both friendly, knowledgeable and kept us fishing the whole trip
Vickie Phillips•Romney, WV, USMember since 20265.0Verifiedfantastic day
2 Hour Trip – Bay - 12:00 PM on May 30, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenBoth gentlemen were fantastic. I took my 15-year-old grandson and two of his friends, and they showed him a fantastic fishing trip. They enjoyed catching a few fish. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I didn’t feel rushed. I truly enjoyed going out and look forward to more. I feel this was a good value.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our 4-hour wreck fishing trip! Captain Wayne and First Mate Tyler were both incredible and made the experience so enjoyable for our entire family. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and kept us on fish all morning! The boat was well supplied with everything we needed, and we especially appreciated having a clean, easily accessible bathroom on board. It made the trip that much more comfortable for everyone. Beyond the fishing, we really enjoyed the conversation, learning more about the area, and just spending time together on the water. You could tell Wayne and Tyler genuinely wanted us to have a great experience, and they definitely delivered! We had so much fun and are already looking forward to coming back next year. Highly recommend this crew and can’t wait for our next trip! 🎣
