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!

Ocean City Magic with Captain Cole & First Mate Mason 🌊
What a day on the water! Captain Cole and First Mate Mason took us on an incredible ride through the waters of Ocean City, testing for bites in all the right spots. We started by chasing blues, shifted gears for some flounder action, and wrapped up with what I was most excited for, stripers! We even had the honor of breaking in Cole’s brand new boat, which already proved its luck by landing a 32” striper, a sea bass, and a starfish. This boat has good vibes all over it, and the crew made the whole experience top-tier. For the price, you simply won’t find a better value in all of Ocean City. From the gear to the guidance, Cole and Mason delivered and were extremely professional. We'll definitely be calling them every time we're back in town. Thanks again, guys! #HookedOnFollowingSeasGuideService 🎣

Great charter and Amazing Crew.
Had such a great time. Cole is very knowledgeable and friendly. I’m new to saltwater fishing and by the time I got off his boat I felt like I could go anywhere and hook on to some fish! Also, he gave me options on what fish I wanted to target which was really cool. Cole hooked me on to a bunch of nice size flounders, him and his mate mason they know their stuff. Would definitely recommend booking with these guys! Thanks, Angel

Great family experience
My kids and I had an excellent time flounder fishing with Captain Cole and his mate Mason. We caught fish at all spots they took us to, and they were quick to help rebait hooks and unsnag lines, which allowed for maximum fishing. We learned a lot about the fish we were targeting and technique for catching them, too. Very pleasant crew to be on the water with, and we will be booking with them on our next trip!

Perfect Family Excursion
The boat easily accommodated our family of three and was very comfortable. The captain, Cole, and mate, Mason, were extremely helpful in casting and reeling with our young son and knowledgeable regarding the local history and best areas to fish. We highly recommend this fishing trip!

Great Day on the Water
Our second year in a row with Captain Cole and Mason and we'll be back next year. Cole and Mason are very patient with our young fishers and our inexperienced group overall. We caught a lot of fish and a couple keepers and really enjoyed it! If we could have stayed on the water longer, we would have!
