Excited to cast a line in Ocean City? That's what Day On The Bay Charters is here for! Captain Josh will be your guide, giving you access to years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Clam, Sheepshead, Crab, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Skate, Speckled Trout, Weakfish, and plenty more. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there's bowfishing.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks!

You'll be casting lines from a 30' Lowe pontoon boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. Its very stable, safe and comfortable, and comes with all the essentials. Capt. Josh has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The fishing license is provided, that covers the entire boat. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Day On The Bay Charters!

Awesome Time
2hr fishing/cruise -brunch special on July 14, 20264 adults

We had an awesome time on this fishing trip! The whole experience was relaxed, fun, and exactly what we were hoping for. The captain was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable, He kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable while making sure we had every opportunity to catch fish. We never felt rushed, and it was clear he genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. We made some great memories and would absolutely book another trip. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a laid-back day on the water with a great captain!

Great Experience and Captain
2hr afternoon delight on July 11, 20265 adults

Josh was so nice and accomodatung! He was patient with my grandsons, constantly replenished bait on the poles for us and was very attentive. My husband enjoyed conversing and sharing experiences. We all had a great time: my youngest grandson caught a Stingray and oldest grandson hooked onto something big, but it got away.

Good time and relaxing
2hr early bird special. on June 30, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Josh made it easy. We asked questions. We learned. All four of us fished. We only caught two sea bass and lots of little crabs. Nothing large enough to keep unfortunately. But it was a good time. We did the 7 am two hour tour on the bay. We would do it again. All the equipment was in good working order. The captain had lots of knowledge of the craft and the area. Thanks again.

2hr kids special on July 3, 20263 adults2 children

Capt. Josh is a super nice and knowledgeable guy. We did a family trip with him on the bay and he put us on a sand shark, flounder and a number of black sea bass. Stable boat perfect with little kids. Highly recommend for a morning or afternoon on the bay!
