We had an absolutely fantastic day on the water with Capt. Owen! From the moment we left the dock, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and committed to making sure everyone had a great experience. He knew exactly where to find the fish, shared helpful tips throughout the trip, and made the day enjoyable for both experienced anglers and first-timers alike. His professionalism, patience, and passion for fishing really stood out. We caught plenty of fish, made some great memories, and couldn’t have asked for a better charter. If you’re looking for an outstanding fishing trip, we highly recommend Captain Owen. We’ll definitely be back!
The charter operator canceled 1 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.
We booked a half day with Captain Owen for my son's 7th birthday, and we had a blast! Before the trip, Owen was great about communicating and coordinating logistics, and promptly and helpfully answered any questions had. On the trip he was skilled, knowledgeable, and happy to share is expertise, and he was great with my son, patiently answering questions, helping him reel and hold the fish, and responding to our son's various suggestions haha. Owen picks the fishing spots, does all the baiting and casting, and then lets everyone else do the reeling when theres a bite. We hauled in 10 catfish in total and took home about 14 fillets, so many that we were able to give some to the in-laws and neighbors. It was an all around great trip and great memories for my son's birthday.
Glad you all enjoyed your trip, Zach! Thanks for fishing with me. Hope to see you guys in the future!
We had an amazing trip with Captain Owen! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun from start to finish. He went above and beyond by moving us to several different spots to make sure we had the best chance of catching fish, and his hard work definitely paid off! He kept us entertained with great stories and a good sense of humor, making the trip enjoyable even between bites. To top it off, he cleaned and filleted our catch for us, which was greatly appreciated! I highly recommend Captain Owen. We’d absolutely book with him again!
Thanks Ashley, I am glad you all enjoyed yourselves! All my best to you and your family! -Owen
I booked this trip as a birthday present for my kids. It was a wonderful experience and my children each got to reel in many fish on their own. We have so many memorable pictures and my kids are already asking to go fishing again. Captain Owen is an amazing captain and host who is great with children and took us to all the great spots. He is very communicative and flexible and knows a ton about not just fishing but also Potomac River and DC history. Highly recommend this company and will return for another trip. 5 Stars!
Thanks Brian, much appreciated! Your kids did great and I'm glad they enjoyed themselves. Looking forward to seeing you guys again!
