Amazing fishing trip
5 Hour (PM) – Inshore/Reef on July 3, 20253 adults1 child
Syd and the first knee were amazing extremely attentive. We have been coming to Ocean City for the past 17 years and has taken many fishing excursions. This happens to be the best one we’ve ever been on. We caught more than 100 fish the captain and the first make sure that we were following the proper were there every time we needed new bait or had to get reset They knew all the best fishing spots they were extremely knowledgeable. The boat was top-notch extremely fast got us in and out off the water extremely well I can’t say more positive things about this trip. They even let us bring our dog on board with us this was by far the best fishing trip we have ever taken if you have a chance to go fishing and we’re looking for our top-notch fishing and extremely knowledgeable captain book here.

no fish caught but still great experience
4 Hour – Back Bay on March 31, 20262 adults
the captain was very knowledgeable and shared lots of fishing stories and information about fishing. it's early in the season and we didn't catch anything in 4 hours - even though the captain shared that a charter just before us caught many catfish. it was still a positive experience and the fact that it was an absolutely beautiful morning helped!

Quality Fishing Trip!
3 Hour – Back Bay - 12:00 PM on September 27, 20253 adults1 child
Captain Syd is a true professional and delivers a quality trip! He was able to assist with extra bait right away to keep the fish biting!! My son loves fishing and he caught 10 total fish!! The boat was the smoothest ride of all trips I have been on. I typically get motion sickness but this boat handled so well. It was a comfortable ride with plenty of seating. I highly recommend Captain Syd and all of his charters. The quality, attention to detail and professionalism cannot be matched. Go get yourself some fish and a cool experience!!!

Syd is the best
5 Hour (PM) – Inshore/Reef on June 5, 20251 adult3 children
Took my 3 kids (7, 8 & 10 y/o). Syd knew exactly where to fish and very knowledgeable. I wanted to help the kids but Syd was all over it. Baiting their hooks, helping them reel in, taking pictures... he was great (and extremely busy). Caught tons of Seabass on the inshore trip. Wasn't expecting to fish myself but that's what I did and it was the first time I relaxed fishing with 3 boys. We even made an impromptu stop to go clamming (at the kids request). Can't recommend him highly enough.
