The Grateful Fred Charters
The Grateful Fred Charters is located in Ocean City and offers to show you a memorable time in Ocean City, Sea Isle, and the surrounding areas.
Capt. Fred will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 2 to 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Flounder, Bass, Seabass, Bluefish, and Weakfish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, drift fishing, gigging, handline, jigging, and spinning.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 24’ Key West boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet, an ice-box, and a wireless trolling motor.
All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.
Book your trip now and hit the water with The Grateful Fred Charters.

Friendly, Competent, and Informative.
Spent half day fishing with my 17 year old son. Fred was totally on top of everything. All the best gear and extensive knowledge gained from experience and shared with enthusiasm. We were inexperienced but determined anglers before we met Fred, now we feel like knowledgeable novice anglers. Thanks so much we will be back soon.

Family had a great time fishing with Grateful Fred Charters. Capt. Fred worked hard the entire morning to put us on fish. Although we didn’t score any keepers we had plenty of near misses. Looking forward to our next outing. Brett S.
