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 !
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!
my fiancé and I did this trip and it was amazing! we caught flounder, however our captain was amazing and so was his mate! best experience ever. they really treat you like family. the trip is great for everyone and i cant say anything negative. everything was wonderful. information was easily accessiable. highly recommend thos trip to anyone and think everyone should do it. you will also love the equipment
Dave and his son / crew were amazing and accommodating to getting my son his first bay fishing trip! We are definitely coming back to his boat! They are super friendly and I’d recommend their services to anyone looking for a nice experience on the water! They took us to spots where they knew my son would gave a great time! Be ready to have a great time fishing with them!
Captain Dave and his First Mate Connor were amazing! Dave was extremely knowledgeable and taught us a lot for our first time on salt water. Both these guys were great with our son and daughter. Didnt get on many fish, but got chance to cruise the bay wih an awesome team. We will absolutely reach out to them again next year. Definitely reccomend these guys!
This trip was great! Everything i expected and more. it was just like hanging out with family or friends. lines were always in the water with bait and when snagged or caught, there was a quick turn around so there was very little time out of the water. will definitely book again!
Awesome experience!! Very family friendly, felt like I was fishing with friends. The Captain and Mate were knowledgeable and excellent teachers. They had above and beyond patience with my son; encouraging him and celebrating his catch. This is worth the money so many memories.

The captain and his mate,Connor were amazing. They made my 7 year old daughter so comfortable, she was the first to catch a fish. We all chatted small family talk and it was such a good vibe. I caught a flounder to keep and they cleaned it for me. I would definitely book again!!

We had a wonderful day on the water. It was my husband and I and our 13 and 11 year old boys. None of us had fished before and the captain and his mate were so patient with my boys. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back next year!
We really enjoyed our morning on the water.  My six-year-old enjoyed learning how to fish and we all had alot of fun. Capt. David and Connor took care of everything making it gery relaxing for Mom and Dad. Thanks for a great trip.
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
Thank you for taking the time to write a review Jose. We had a blast hanging out with you and wetting a line. we are looking forward to fishing with you again later this summer as we discussed during your trip. I’m attaching a picture of your first striped bass! Congrats!!! Capt. Dave

you guys were an abaolute blast. Cant wait to donit again!
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.
Thank you Hope!! We are looking forward to fishing with you all 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.
Thanks Jeff!
