3Hr Back Bay (1:30PM - 4:30PM) on June 4, 2026 • 1 adult

Had a great trip with Captain Dave and Frank. It was just the three of us on the boat, which made for a really fun and laid-back experience. These guys were easy to talk to, worked hard the entire trip, and clearly know their stuff. Captain Dave put us on fish, and Frank was always right there to help, keep things moving, and make sure I was having a good time. It never felt rushed—just a great day on the water with good company, plenty of laughs, and fish coming over the rail. cant wait to get back out with these guys

Saturday Morning Back Bay
3Hr Back Bay (7AM - 10AM) on June 20, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Our trip started at 7am- a 3 hour back bay fishing tour. We glide through quiet channels alive with birds and swirling baitfish. The Captain had us in fishing spots and marking fish right away. Between the laughs, the storytelling, and the thrill of steady action on the line, the whole experience becomes less about catching fish and more about soaking in the rythm of the bay itself. although we hooked up with some keepers. Captain Dave knew exactly where to find the fish! Planning our next trip already !

This was the best fishing charter we've gone on.
Back Bay & Near Shore (7AM - 12PM) on July 18, 2026 • 6 adults

We didn't catch keepers, but not for lack of the crew's efforts. We were a charter of women of various skill levels. Capt'n and mate,Connor made up for any and all disappointment about not catching keepers with their personalities, patience, professionalism, and kindness. I'm sure, had the weather cooperated, the cooler would have been filled with our catches. I would definitely use them again. Thanks for making my 62nd birthday memorable. I'll see you again.

Went out with Captain Dave and Connor on July 16th. They are great people to fish with. I returned to Nanticoke Outfitters after my experience last year. Captain Dave and Connor are professional and personable. I am very appreciative of the way they treated my teenage daughters throughout the trip. They work extremely hard to give you the best opportunity to catch fish, regardless of conditions. Thanks for another enjoyable trip.

Amazing Experience
3Hr Back Bay (10:15 AM - 1:15PM) on August 7, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

We had an amazing experience! The captain and his first mate took care of my 11-year-old son like he was their own! They are the kind of people you want your family to be around no matter how many fish you catch. My son brought in a 300 lb shark to the boat with their help! A memory that will last us a lifetime! I would trust them any day on the water! Thank you again my friends! You are truly good human beings!

    We had a downpour about an hour into our 3hr trip that put a damper on fishing but not for lack of trying! Captain Dave & Frank put us on fish we just struggled hooking them. My “Blue Marlin Hookset” was a little much for flounder. Regardless, we had a great time & will definitely book again.
