Depending on the season, you might hook into Flounder, Black Seabass, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Tautog, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Weakfish, and whatever else is biting.
On the day of your trip, you're likely to bottom fish, troll, or maybe even anchor up for shark fishing.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, no worries because we have some onboard. All life jackets are equipped with light activated beacons.
You'll be welcome aboard a 25' Pilothouse with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the Captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your Captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. Fish cleaning included in all of your trips.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Adult beverages allowed, no hard liquor and we ask you drink responsible.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality, with Local Hooker Charters.

Dawn ClarkRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCool Experience
4 Hour Bay Trip on August 12, 2026 • 1 adultThis is the first time I ever booked a charter in OCMD and it was actually very cool. The captain, Will, was responsive to my messages and kept me updated on how things were going to be the day of the trip. I met him at the location because it was easier for me. He was on time and knew exactly where to go so I could get some fish. I am not that fish savvy but with his help I was catching some small sea bass. flying fish and even flounder! The day was perfect, a bit overcast and not super hot. The only sad part was 4 hrs went by so fast! It was a great trip and a cool experience to do something I've been wanting to do just didn't want to do by myself but sometimes you have to go out on your own and that's what I did! Will and crew made me feel very comfortable and helped me understand how the flounder bite! Thanks so much guys! You might be seeing me and my daughters in October!!
Samuel KramerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day and great Captain!
4 Hour Bay Trip on August 2, 2026 • 2 adultsI wanted to take my brother in law on a private fishing charter in the bay in OCMD. I chose captain Will because he just looked like a great guy and the reviews were excellent. We had a 4 hour inshore bay trip and caught plenty of fish! Beautiful day on the water and let me tell you that captain Will is one of the best captains I’ve ever had as far as maneuvering the boat and getting you on spots other captains aren’t willing to do. His boat skills were effortless and he was so nice and easy to talk to and we felt like he was one of the guys right away! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK A TRIP WITH CAPTAIN WILL!!!!!! Thanks Cap and can’t wait to do it again!
David SmootRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHad an amazing day with Captain Will!
4 Hour Bay Trip on June 27, 2026 • 2 adultsHad an amazing time fishing with Captain Will! We caught some great flounder and sea bass, had plenty of action, and enjoyed every minute on the water. Captain Will was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to put us on the fish. If you're looking for a fun, successful fishing trip with a captain who knows what he's doing, I highly recommend booking a charter with him. We can't wait to come back and do it again!
Brittany Smith5.0VerifiedAmazing Guy!

A little windy and some rain but captain found some fish a we caught a few. Yoy always want to catch more but that is why it is called fishing and not catching. We would definitely book again. We all had a great time. Like they say even a not so great day on the water is better than a hard day at work. Thanks Captain Poole.
Had a fantastic time out on the water!!Definitely made another core family memory as every single one of us caught multiple fish!! Captain Will was very knowledgeable, interactive and went above and beyond insuring we were always baited and tangle free. Definitely on our list to do again.
