Elysian Charters is located in Ocean City and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Douglas will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Flounder and Striped Bass depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 20’ Grady White boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers.

All rods and reels are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, Bait is included in the trip price. For reef trips, the guest should supply their own bucktails (3-4 oz). There are occasional snags on the submerged reef that need to be broken off. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. The boat will be supplied with drinks (water) for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Elysian Charters.

Great time with Captain Doug

3 hour trip – Special on August 7, 2025 • 2 adults

Been coming to O.C. for many years and have never fished in the bay / inlet. Capt. Doug was a wonderful host. Easy to talk to and my wife and I enjoyed our conversation. We’re roughly the same age with grown children so lots of stuff to talk about. I would describe the fishing today as okay. While I’m not an expert I’ve fished enough in different formats / locales to know that you don’t slay them every time. But we did catch fish (mostly my wife, ha !) including fluke, sea bass and the strange looking sea robins. Unfortunately the flounder were a little under the size limit so we’ll be eating out tonight ! I’m looking forward to another outing with Captain Doug and would recommend him to anyone.

Early Spring Stiper Trip

Half Day Morning Trip on March 29, 2025 • 3 adults

Booked a trip with Captain Doug early in the Spring and he put us on some quality Striper. We were just looking for a chance to catch a few fish and not only did Captain Doug provide that, but he was also an outstanding gentleman to meet and talk to. I recommend you book with Captain Doug if you want a knowledgeable Captain who can put you on some fish and keep you entertained with good stories.

Fishing with Douglas

We had a super time. It was a birthday gift for my husband & we both caught fish but he caught the 2 winning flounders. Our captain, Doug, was so friendly, knowledgeable & had lots of fun stories! Great expert& we’re planning to do it again.

Awesome Captain! Great for families!

Captain Doug was great! The communication before the trip was top notch, the pick up spot was easy and on the island. He’s also great with kids and makes the trip fun whether you’re catching fish or not.

Great day out with Captain Doug. He was very helpful and friendly and knew all the sports to ensure we caught fish. Will definitely book him again next time I’m in OC.
