Great trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 6, 2025
Bruce was a great captain. He had a plan to run out a little further to put us on fish but with a storm coming in the ocean had kicked up bigger waves and made run time to the original location much longer than anticipated. Bruce quickly made a new plan to fish inland another location and put us on fish. When fishing slowed down he gave us a nice tour around the island to show us some things we wouldn’t have seen from land. Great time on the water. Highly recommend! Thanks Bruce!

Bruce went the extra mile to put us on fish. He's very knowledgeable of angling in the area, and about the island in general! Also Bruce made sure everyone engaged and entertained! Loved the boat! The water was a little choppy that day, but you wouldn't know it! Might sound trivial to some, but if you or someone in your party tends to get sea sick easily, that can make all the difference! Bruce will definitely be our first choice on next adventure!

Wonderful experience with Capt. Bruce
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 16, 2025
The morning was overcast, windy and misting rain. Yet Capt. Bruce still put us on some fish. Capt. Bruce’s was eager to share his knowledge of the local fisheries. I would highly recommend him for your next charter.

I could not have had a better experience with Captain Bruce and this charter. We had everything we needed and had a great morning out on the water where we caught multiple fish including a few keepers. Everyone was knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. I highly recommend going with Captain Bruce!

Captain Bruce is absolutely awesome. Love the new Bottom Bouncer boat. He worked hard and kept us busy. We caught some nice Flatties. Bruce instantly became someone I felt like I have known for years. Will be booking again and also on the big boat.

I started out fishing in the Chesapeake Bay for many years. Once I was introduced to offshore fishing in the Atlantic I was hooked! I’ve had the privilege of fishing these waters for well over 10 years and would love to share the fun
