Captain Owen took our family out for a half-day catfishing trip, and we can’t say enough good things about it! He was extremely friendly and did great with our two young boys (ages 6 & 8.) Definitely a family-friendly charter! Owen was very knowledgeable of the area for fishing and was well prepared. We caught so maby catfish, we lost count! Our oldest son caught an almost 14lber! Owen also offered to clean our fish for us as well. We had an amazing time and will definitely be booking another trip in the future. Highly recommend!!
Thanks Stacey, it was a pleasure fishing with your family! All my best! -Owen
My son and I took the trip with captain Owen for my son's birthday. We had a fantastic time and caught blue catfish to 22 lbs! We boated about 25 catfish between us during the 4 hour trip and would recommend this trip to anyone. Captain Owen was a great guide. His knowledge of the Potomac River and catfishing are first rate and he is fun to be with. We will certainly do this trip again and if you are thinking of booking this trip - book it, you will not regret it!
Thanks Mike, it was a pleasure fishing with you and Greg! Glad you all enjoyed yourselves. All my best to you both, and look forward to seeing you again! -Owen
Captain Owen did a phenomenal job. He provided the best experience for my family on his four hour trip along the Potomac river. Owen had 6 lines out at any given time. We caught 14 catfish with a monster 32 pound catfish to finish out our 4th of July weekend. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. He provided water, gatorade, and all the equipment. My 10 year old had the best experience of his life. Thank you Captain Owen.
My pleasure Nate! Loved having you guys on board and glad we found your son a new PB! All my best to you guys- Owen
Our fishing trip with Owen on the Potomac could not have been better!!! We left Georgetown right on time and he expertly guided us to various fishing spots. He is friendly, and is very knowledgeable about not only fishing but also about the history of the area. The boat was safe and clean, and Owen was able to handle all of the fishing rigging, tackle, etc... with ease. More importantly, we caught very large fish, including a huge 42 lbs. catfish!!! In the end, we had well more than 10 lbs. of fish fillets to take home. I definitely recommend Owen for those looking to hook some very large fish in the DC area.
Thanks Chris, it was a pleasure fishing with you both! Glad we found some decent fish out there! All my best, -Owen
My boyfriend and I had an absolutely fantastic time on our fishing trip with Captain Owen! From start to finish, he was an incredible guide knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient with us. He made the whole experience fun and relaxing, and we never felt rushed or out of our depth. One of the highlights was how helpful he was after the trip he cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us, which made it super easy to take them home and enjoy. We learned a lot and made some great memories out on the water. Highly recommend booking with Captain Owen if you're looking for a great charter experience!
Thanks so much Arryuana, it was a pleasure and I'm so glad you both enjoyed yourselves! Enjoy the fillets and I hope to see you again in the future!
