    Perfect Family Fishing Experience in Ocean City

    4 Hour – Back Bay - 8:00 AM on July 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Our family had an incredible day with ModSquad Fishing Charter! We caught more flounder than we could count, and the action was nonstop from the time we got on the fish. Capt. Syd and Dylan were absolutely fantastic, especially with the kids. They were patient, encouraging, and took the time to make sure everyone was involved and having fun. Their knowledge of the local waters and willingness to help made the trip enjoyable for both experienced anglers and first-timers. This was one of the highlights of our Ocean City vacation, and we’ve already decided it’s going to become an annual family tradition. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing charter that puts you on the fish and creates lasting memories, I can’t recommend ModSquad Fishing Charter enough!

    Fantastic trip with the kids!!

    4 Hour – Back Bay - 1:00 PM on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Syd and First Mate Dillon were awesome. Great instructions for the kids in the beginning of the trip and super helpful throughout. Mt Brother and I took two kids each. Caught a decent amount of flounder on the Bay and the kids and adults both had a blast. Dolphins sighting was a big highlight and Captain Syd was kind enough to pivot our drift for a couple minutes to watch them. Highly recommended!

    Definitely booking again

    6 Hour – Inshore – Shark Fishing - 1:00 PM on June 26, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Syd and Paul were awesome. We booked a shark trip and The Mod Squad delivered. These guys are professional but at the same time are so much fun to fish with. I have fished charters before but this was by far the best ever. My 16 year old son was able to catch a huge Thresher shark because of this amazing crew. Thanks for the memories that we will talk about forever .

    Great first ever fishing charter!

    5 Hour – Inshore/Reef - 12:00 PM on August 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My family and I booked our first fishing charter with Capt Syd and he didn’t disappoint! We didnt have much experience going into the trip and he did a great job educating us in the sport. We caught all sorts of fish all day long with a bunch of keepers. Definitely recommend Capt Syd to everyone especially families looking to have a great experience out on the water!

    syd and paul are great!

    5 Hour – Inshore/Reef - 12:00 PM on June 13, 2026 • 6 adults

    5 hours of good conversations and live action. Syd is knowledgeable and a great teacher; several people on the boat caught their first fish with his help. Highly recommend this trip for any anglers, with any experience- from brand new to 20- 30-year vets. Book it today; you will not regret it!

    Coach Syd and Dylan work hard to make sure you have a great opportunity to catch fish. Their experience is an asset to help you catch fish and enjoy a great day on the ocean. Been here 3 years in a row and will back again next summer.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
My life of fishing began as a child, fishing tournaments with my father from North Carolina to Connecticut, and ongoing recreationally/commercially out of Cape May and Ocean City. My early introduction to sportfishing jump-started my journey to fishing professionally. My love for this game only grows with every day spent on the water, with my greatest happiness coming from bending the rod and putting fish on the deck. I take great pleasure in sharing these experiences with others and educating others on this beautiful sport. From the bay to the canyons, I pride myself on being a jack of all trades, able to put people on a variety of fish consistently, inshore and offshore. I love meeting new anglers, beginners, and experts, and I look forward to having you aboard the Mod Squad. Tight lines and good times await!

    My family and I booked our first fishing charter with Capt Syd and he didn’t disappoint! We didnt have much experience going into the trip and he did a great job educating us in the sport. We caught all sorts of fish all day long with a bunch of keepers. Definitely recommend Capt Syd to everyone especially families looking to have a great experience out on the water!

    Sid and his assistant Dylan were attentive as always. Our kids always look forward to fishing with them during our week in OC every summer. It was a great day on the water and we even brought home some keepers!

    Coach Syd and Dylan work hard to make sure you have a great opportunity to catch fish. Their experience is an asset to help you catch fish and enjoy a great day on the ocean. Been here 3 years in a row and will back again next summer.

    Captain Syd and First Mate Dillon were awesome. Great instructions for the kids in the beginning of the trip and super helpful throughout. Mt Brother and I took two kids each. Caught a decent amount of flounder on the Bay and the kids and adults both had a blast. Dolphins sighting was a big highlight and Captain Syd was kind enough to pivot our drift for a couple minutes to watch them. Highly recommended!

    Our family had an incredible day with ModSquad Fishing Charter! We caught more flounder than we could count, and the action was nonstop from the time we got on the fish. Capt. Syd and Dylan were absolutely fantastic, especially with the kids. They were patient, encouraging, and took the time to make sure everyone was involved and having fun. Their knowledge of the local waters and willingness to help made the trip enjoyable for both experienced anglers and first-timers. This was one of the highlights of our Ocean City vacation, and we’ve already decided it’s going to become an annual family tradition. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly fishing charter that puts you on the fish and creates lasting memories, I can’t recommend ModSquad Fishing Charter enough!
