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!

Great experience!

4 Hour Nearshore/Back Bay Combo on August 27, 2025 • 3 adults

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!

Ocean City Magic with Captain Cole & First Mate Mason 🌊

2 Hour Evening Fishing/Cruise on June 10, 2025 • 2 adults

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.

2 Hour Evening Fishing/Cruise on August 12, 2025 • 1 adult

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

3 hour Bay Fishing on August 12, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children

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!

Best fishing charter

3 hour Bay Fishing (AM) on June 25, 2025 • 2 adults

This is the best fishing charter I’ve been on. Cole and Mason were super nice and took us to great spots to catch all sorts of fish. They are very educated and taught us valuable tips that helped us land the fish! We had some great keepers. It was a fun time and highly recommend to anyone looking to book a private charter!
