Captain Joe Truitt is a fully licensed and insured fishing guide serving the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia.
He has been fishing the Eastern Shore for over 40 years. We offer personalized service catering to small parties.
Our boat is trailered so we can move with the fish and the seasons. We fish the coastal bays for Flounder and the Chesapeake for bottom dwellers like Black Drum, Red Drum, Speckled Trout, and Rockfish. We do our best to provide you with the best experience possible including providing our own custom-made rods and tackle for most of our trips. All tackle and bait included

Captain Joe Truitt took myself and a few coworkers out for a charter in the bay. It would be an understatement to say that we had fun. We had a blast. We caught fish from the moment we started fishing until the moment we ran out of sunlight. It was an unmatched experience and Joe helped me catch my first Red Drum!

Captain worked very hard for us on a day when the bite was slow. He never gave up and worked all day. Highly recommend. Thanks for the trip.
