Following Seas Guide Service
Following Seas Guide Service invites you aboard to enjoy a memorable, fun-filled and safe day on the bay! With extensive knowledge of the waters, we aim to put fish on the deck while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Fishing will take place on the Miss Joyce 2, a 23 foot C-Hawk powered by a 150hp Honda outboard. She is equipped with a livewell, Simrad electronics and radar, VHF radio and all necessary safety equipment. There are coolers on deck for your food and drinks as well as any catch you wish to keep!
Come with the whole family- we love to teach youngsters. We ask that you notify Captain Cole if bringing kids so we have the correct size life jackets.
We want your trip to be as hands on as you'd like! Bait your own hook? Sure! Net your fish? You got it! Captain Cole loves the excitement that comes with fishing and wants you to have fun.
During the summer months, we primarily target Flounder, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Sheepshead, and Tautog but you never know what we may stumble across!
All necessary fishing equipment is provided, such as rods/reels, tackle, bait, and licensing. Our tactics vary day by day so we have plenty of equipment on board to ensure there is no stone left unturned. All you need to bring is snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and some polarized shades. We've got you covered from there!
Following Seas Guide Service looks forward to a day on the bay with you and your family!

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.
Thanks so much! Mason and I look forward to seeing you guys every year!
If I could give Captain Cole more than five stars, I absolutely would. He provided an incredible fishing trip for myself, my two boys and a friend. He is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Hewill do his absolute best to put you on fish. If you're looking for a great captain, look no further.
Bill I cant thank you guys enough for coming. Everyones enthusiam for fishing got me so excited. Mason and I really enjoyed having you and we look forward to seeing you all again!
We had an incredible time with Cole Mason on our guided fishing trip! From start to finish, Cole was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience unforgettable. He knew all the best spots, shared helpful tips, and was patient with everyone in our group no matter their skill level. The boat and gear were top-notch, and Cole made sure we felt comfortable and safe the entire time. We caught plenty of fish and learned a lot along the way. Beyond the fishing, his friendly personality and passion for the outdoors really made the trip special. If you’re looking for a fantastic guide who knows his stuff and makes the day fun, I highly recommend captain Cole and first mate Mason. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
We had an absolute blast with you guys. Loved sharing laughs and stories while bending the rod a few times. Thanks again!
Captain Cole was great. He took to a couple spots where we landed multiple fish. Kids had a great time. will definitely do this again next year.
Thanks guys! It was fun braving the windy conditions and watching everyone crank in some fish. I had a ball! Looking forward to next year!
This was a easy day for my Dad and I. My Dad is older and had a recent injury. Captain was very friendly and accomodating of all if his needs. We caught two great sized fish and had a blast. Definitly recommended for anyone who is looking for a great day on the water.
Thanks Ben! I enjoyed watching you and your dad fight a few fish (and rays)! Looking forward to hopefully seeing you later this summer.
