Excited to cast a line in Ocean City? Then A Salt Weapon has a trip with your name on it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Craig can tell you all about the local fishery.

If you dont see a trip listed that suits your needs feel free to contact me and I will try my best to make a trip that will accommodate you.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Bluefish, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Flounder, White Marlin, Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Skipjack, Black Seabass, and whatever else takes the bait. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Craig runs a 48' Hatteras sportfishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Craig will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with A Salt Weapon!
