Following Seas Guide Service 

Captain Cole was built for this. It's not just a fishing trip. It's the people you meet along the way. Cole and Willy gave us something far more valuable than a few fish in the cooler—they gave our family an experience and a memory we'll treasure. From adjusting our departure time to navigating difficult weather conditions, these guys went above and beyond to make the day a success. And that flounder! The biggest they've ever put on the boat! Great people, great fishing, and a wonderful day on the water. Godspeed, gentlemen, and many blessings!

If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing charter, this is it! My family and I had an amazing experience with Cole and Mason. They were incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we stepped on the boat. They helped with everything we needed and made sure everyone had a great time. I'm a complete beginner, while my husband has fishing experience, and they made the trip enjoyable for both of us. Their patience, knowledge, and great personalities made all the difference. In just two hours, we caught fish, saw dolphins, and made memories we'll never forget. This was hands down the highlight of our entire vacation and the best two hours of our trip. We can't recommend Cole and Mason enough and will definitely book with them again the next time we're in town!

I recently had the pleasure of going fishing with Captain Cole Evans and his first mate on a bay fishing trip out of Ocean City, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! As a 60-year-old angler who enjoys getting back on the water, I was looking for a knowledgeable, professional captain who could deliver a fun, productive day without any hassle — and Captain Cole absolutely delivered.0 From the moment we met at the dock, Captain Cole and his mate were welcoming, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. They grew up fishing these waters (Chesapeake and Atlantic), and it shows in their expertise. They knew exactly where to go for the best action, explained the different bites and techniques for each species, and kept us on fish the entire time. The boat was clean, safe, and well-equipped, and they were quick to help with rebaiting, unhooking, and making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. We had a fantastic catch — plenty of action and smiles all around. Captain Cole’s easygoing style made it relaxing yet exciting, and his local knowledge turned what could have been an average trip into one of the best fishing outings I’ve had in years. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or bringing family for a memorable day, I can’t recommend Following Seas Guide Service highly enough. We’ll definitely be booking again soon! Thank you, Captain Cole and team — you made it a perfect day on the water! Highly recommended for anyone heading to Ocean City.

Right off the bat Captain Cole was a great captain and host. we communicated prior t the tripand I asked if possible to fish for something other than flounder, even though that is the most prevalent fish i August. He did not disappoint, he took us trolling for mackerel in the ocean where are boys caught several large mackerel that put up a great fight. later we went to the by to do more hands on fishing where we caught countless flounder. Everyone on the boat was very satisfied and happy for the tour. I highly recommend Captain Cole.

I highly recommend Captain Cole for a relaxing fishing trip. it was perfect for our family of four, especially for Mom, who happened to get a little queasy when we were fishing on some choppy water near the inlet. Cole was very attentive and kept checking her color. :-) First Mate Mason kept the hooks baited and talked my boys through reeling in some nice fish. The whole family is ready to sign up for another trip next year.

took my son and grandson (3) on a 3 hr. bay trip. Cole and the first mate were fantastic with my grandson. They got us hooked up on some sea bass, toug, and sheepshead. A fish would bite and they would give the rod to my grandson and let him reel them in. He had such a great time. All in all he caught a couple sea bass, a sheepshead and a flounder, all firsts for his short fishing career.

This was our second year with Cole and needless to say we struck pay dirt for two hours staright from straight until finish. A total of thirteen (13) flounder landed with a few sneak off the line. We are already in the works to book with him again next year and get into some strippers like the previous trip. Again, Captain Cole had us on the fish first cast, perfect day of fishing.

We had the best day fishing on the bay with Captain Cole and his first mate Mason. Took my 12-year-old son and his best friend fishing for the very first time. We caught over a dozen flounder. Captain Cole and Mason were so patient, taught the boys so much about the sport. Will definitely charter them again next summer. Highly recommend. It was really such a fun relaxing day. 

Couldn’t ask for a better crew! Captain Cole and his mate Mason had our lines tight early and throughout our 3-hr trip. All of us caught our target species and more: tog, flounder, sea bass, and oyster toad. Great guys to relax and spend time on the water with. Very enjoyable experince for myself and kids overall, and we’ll be booking for a third time next year!

captain Cole was awesome! From getting on fish and being right there when you hooked one on. we caught some sea bass and a sting ray. His boat was top notch and properly equipped.
