Captain John and crew Hunter were fantastic! We caught our first shark and some other fish! They were great with making sure we had everything we needed. I took my three sons (12,10,8). I highly recommend them for some big fun fish!!! Easy pickup and drop off. entertaining too. boys had a bathroom to use. answered all my kids questions too! We will definitely use them again! He also took pictures and videos of our catch and we were able to keep some of our catch!
Beautiful day, and it was a pleasure having the kids on and seeing them go nuts. This is why we love it. Thanks again!
You may not be able to predict or control nature but you CAN control how you treat people and sometimes that’s all that matters! After reading MANY review for different boats offering fishing charters, what stood out the mosg for Bottom Bouncer, Captain John, and first mate Hunter were the extremely positive reviews on them being great guys, funny and knowledgeable (and high fishing success rates for sharks, rays and other fish!). Knowing I would likely solo on this trip, that was very important to me! The reviews were spot on. Even though I’m no stranger to fishing (bass and trout mostly), I knew nothing about being on open waters or shark fishing. Both of these guys were more than open to my questions and teaching me things without man-splaining 😂. Even though I did not catch any sharks (did catch a few other things though 😊), I knew before I even booked the trip that nature is unpredictable and animals don’t care how fancy your equipment is or how smart you are…some days are just not gonna be *your* day. Proof came a few hours after my trip ended with the very next group catching a few sharks of nice size! I wasn’t resentful. I was happy for them! Capt. John and Hunter felt horrible that I didn’t catch a shark but I assured them I knew it wasn’t their fault, that I watched them do everything they could, and that I knew that morning just wasn’t my day 🤷🏼♀️ I still walked away very pleased with the experience and how they treated me. So much so that I told them I’d book another trip ASAP…and I booked within hours! How you treat someone says a thousand words about character and is something a person can control. They are doing this to give people great experiences and lifelong memories, not for money. Those are the people and businesses you want to support and keep going back to! Can’t wait for my second trip later today! Fingers crossed that I get a shark 🤞🏻; one will be more than enough to make me happy! But I know regardless of that, I’m guaranteed to have another great experience!
Thank you for that. I really can't express how much your words mean to me. We will see you soon!
Capitan was really trying his best to put us on a fish. We had one really big one that snapped off right by the boat. We even stayed longer on the spot hoping for the last bite. He gave us extra time and really tried. It felt that he was more disappointed then us. We will definitely book him again when in the area. "Polamania Kija" as his friend Jerry will say. Capitan John is the man for Shark/Ray fishing in OC MD.
Thank you Pawel!
We had a three hour shark trip, the captain knew exactly where to go for good fishing. We cught 2 sharks and some of us were a bit sea sick. The captain and mate, Hunter, were more th accommodating to our issues. I couldn't have asked for better accommodations whle on vacation. Thank you to Bottom Bouncer for a great trip and lifelng memories! My daughter can brag to her friends that she reeled in a Shark!
Thank you for fishing with us, and kudos to your daughter for sticking through it! Hunter and I felt for her, but it all worked out in the end. Thanks again, John!
