Melissa Paddy•
Maryland, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFantastic Day on the Water
6 Hour Trip on July 26, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childWe had an absolutely fantastic day on the water with Captain Clint and Mate Alex! We were hoping to target cobia, and they went above and beyond to put us on some incredible fish. Their knowledge, hard work, and determination were obvious from the moment we left the dock. On top of the great fishing, they made the trip a blast. It was a beautiful day, even better company, and they made sure everyone had a great time from start to finish. If you're looking for a crew that knows where the fish are and genuinely wants you to have an unforgettable experience, SHO-NUF Sportfishing is the charter to book.
Louis Dovell•Maryland, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGood Trip
6 Hour Trip on July 17, 2026 • 4 adultsClint and Trent were very knowledgeable. The fishing was slow for everybody but they found us a keeper. The boat rides real smooth. Trent kept the boat clean and we never ran out of bait. Group of four we had fresh fish for dinner and some left over for the freezer.
Angelo Lombardi•Virginia, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedAwesome Trip!

A captain who knows where the fish are!
4 Hour Trip on June 28, 2024 • 6 adultsWhat a fantastic adventure. Let me first say, the deck hand (Landon) and captain (Clint) made this adventure amazing and really set us up for success! They had all the details taken care of and covered before we arrived. Within 20 min of departing we had our first bite and by the end of our trip we successfully caught 5 Kobia! It was me my wife, daughter and mother in law and they made our time with them so memorable! Captian Clint is a local and knows the territory so well, his experience allowed us to stay on the fish! We were fortunate enough to fight a 70lb fish, Amazing experience!! Highly recommend Sho-Nuf and Clint!!
Mark DonahueRepeat angler•Virginia, US•Member since 20186 trips5.0VerifiedPerfect day of fishing!
9 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on December 9, 2023 • 5 adultsCaptain Clint provided a great day of fishing! The boat and equipment were top notch with plenty of eels for bait. First mate Joe was very helpful and knowledgeable. As someone who has been on many charters I'm well aware that fishing can be uneventful and slow at times. It's called fishing not catching for a reason. But Capt. Clint got us on some whoppers! We all got to experience reeling in a big one! They even had clean towels to wipe off the trophy fish slime after taking pictures! Would totally recommend Sho Nuf for a fun, professional fishing experience! Thanks Clint and Joe for a great day!
Matthew Carden•New York, USMember since 20235.0Verified6 Hr trip with Clint on SHO-NUF
6 Hour Trip on July 22, 2023 • 6 adultsAwesome experience, captain clint and firt mate Owen were well prepared. They were polite, well informed, and wasted no time getting us on the water. They could answer every question we had confidently with bo hesitation and we had a good turn out catching about a dozen makrel and one big ol 42" cobia; that was a fun fight. Not to mention, the SHO- NUF is an awesome spacious boat that was very clean and comfortable. Plus bluetooth sound system to connect to the boat speakers. Top tier equipment and great with instuctions . Overall very professional and fun. 100 percent recommend !!! 👍👍
