We had an excellent trip today with Captain Steven Woodbury—super knowledgeable, patient, and on the fish. We brought in bluefish, ladyfish, jack, a fluke, even a bonnethead shark and a catfish. He kept things fun and smooth all day. Highly recommend. And then, just when we thought the day was over, something big showed up. The one that got away, still out there.
Thank you Rafael , it was a fun day and would have liked to see that big one next to the boat but im sure its still running North.
I and my two out of town friends had a great experience with Captain Stephen Woodbury of Chummy Fishing Charters. All was very easy from booking through FishBookers to meeting the Captain on time. While the wind and tide made for rough waters at times, Captain Woodbury took us to calmer locations. We were excited by the variety of fish we caught and had a great time. We appreciated the Captain’s knowledge of locations and identifying the fish with which we weren’t familiar. We highly recommend Captain Woodbury and Chummy Fishing Charters for your fishing adventure.
Thank you Donald for the very nice review. i am so glad you all had ad great of a time as i did fishing with you. hooefully we all can do it again soon with some calmer winds.
It was too windy to go outside so we stayed around inlets and islands and found some fun fishing. Caught a couple of excellent fish and some surprises. All fun! Captain Steve was great and kept our lines baited and moving along smoothly.
Thank you Rachel , it was a bit challenging that day bit you all hung in there and glad we were abke to hook uo on some fish .

Thank you Scott , little Ray is a fishing bad ass already. never said quit the while time. you all were a great group and i had a blast as well. thank you
Captain Steve knows his business well; a seasoned saltwater angler, he instinctively knew where the fish ran and when to shift to another spot. We had instant hits at every location. The varity in fish types made it more fun, depending on near- or in-shore fishing. Adam
