Capt. Douglas will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing.

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.

Great time with Captain Doug
3 hour trip – Special on August 7, 20252 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.

Great Charter
Half Day Morning Trip on May 25, 20264 adults
Doug was a very friendly, helpful, generous, and engaging captain. The fish weren't biting much on the day we went out, but Doug kindly stayed out far longer than our scheduled time to make sure we did reel in a few flounder.
Reported catch:
Flounder

It was pleasure fishing with you and the boys. You were very patient and they showed considerable knowledge regarding fishing tecniques and perspectives. I would gladly fish with you anytime!

3 hour trip – Special on August 31, 20252 adults
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.
