Chesapeake Bay Outdoors LLC – Crack of Dawn 

We booked a Father’s Day fishing trip with Capt. Damon and First Mate Dan, and it exceeded our expectations! From the moment we stepped aboard, we could tell the boat was well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. The air conditioning was a huge bonus and made the trip even more enjoyable. The fishing was great, and we caught a good amount of fish throughout the trip. What really made the experience stand out was First Mate Dan. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and an excellent instructor. Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fishing, Dan takes the time to teach, assist, and ensure everyone has a great experience. His work ethic was outstanding—he was constantly helping, preparing gear, and making sure everything ran smoothly. Capt. Damon and Dan make a fantastic team and clearly care about providing a top-notch charter experience. We had an amazing Father’s Day trip on the water and created memories that will last a lifetime. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing trip!

Captain D and his crew were awesome. The captain kept us on top of fish and his crewmate. Danny kept our reels loaded and in the water. We caught a ton of fish. I highly recommend this charter. We are planning on booking with him again in the future, have a wonderful season everyone.

Had an amazing fishing experience with this crew. Captain Damon was excellent, and the mate was extremely good. They made sure we had a great time and felt well taken care of the whole day. Highly recommend booking with them!

greta time

Caught our limit in under 2 hours - Damon finds the fish!

Welp...first time seeing a toadfish! I gotta give it to Dan, he caught my rod after I threw it because of that 'loch ness monster' I reeled in. Watch out, they have teeth! My family and I had a blast on the Crack of Dawn. The first mate, Dan, was right on time to meet and take us to the boat. The Captain, Damon, had us out in no time. We were over a hot spot immediately, Dan gave us a quick tutorial and we were on our way to dropping our lines. Two in our group caught Spot within the first few minutes! Dan was right there to take the fish off their lines and add more bait. This went on the entire 4 hours we booked. Every time we went to a new spot, we caught fish right away. So much that we had to start throwing them back! Add that to Dan having taught us how to catch double headers and it worked! I gotta say we had an amazing time, both Damon and Dan taught us a lot and the waters, equipment, fish, everything. I strongly recommend and would be happy to book again.

I've been on a couple charter trips and this was hands down my best one. This trip was for my 8yr old granddaughters birthday. She's never been fishing so I thought what the heck I'll take her on a charter. The Mate was top notch and helped her way more than I could have ever expected. He was very knowledgeable and taught her a ton about fishing. She was killing it and had him on his toes the whole time. Never once did he slow down and seemed to be having just as much fun as she was. The captain put us on fish right off the bat. As soon as it slowed down he would move us and put us right back on them. Definitely worth it and highly recommend these guys! They go out of their way to make sure it's an enjoyable trip.

So I booked this trip for my hubby , brother inlaw & friends...for Father's Day They were thrilled and caught sooooo many fish they want to book again they loved it so much when I spoke to hubby he said that Captain Damon and the first mate were incredible and put them on fish and had them doing major arm workouts. Every guy which all 5 of them caught their maximum!!! DONT HESTSITATE TO BOOK WITH THEM, Highly recommended!!!!
