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!

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!

Thank you Ashlie for such a kind review! Mason and I really enjoyed meeting you all. We were so fortunate to have beautiful weather and great conversation the entire time, with some fish mixed in!

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!
Treat you like Family. Made sure we fished the right areas. They know where the fish are. Flounder was my choice and I am taking flounder home. They also follow the law so I was not able to keep some because they were just short and it pained me to watch them release them. I won’t fish with anyone else in Ocean City. It’s the best experience.

Thanks Paul. I really enjoyed meeting you guys and i hope you take some PTO time in October to come see us!
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!
I will absolutely be booking this again. could not have asked for a better captain and mate. Kids had a blast and wont stop talking about it. Captain absolutely put us on the fish and worked to make sure everyone was catching!

Thanks Drew. Already looking forward to next time!
