angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain John Foreman has over 2 decades of fishing experience under his belt, but only decided to turn these years of experience into a career in 2019. He became a captain because, simply, he loves seeing people catch fish! He believes that people have one life to live and should spend it doing what they love: and what he loves is the thrill of chasing fish and hooking them, especially alongside other anglers and guests. He's local to this area and has been fishing here since he was a kid. When he was a teenager, he could barely wait for school to end so that he could leave and get straight out on the water! He gives his best to put people on fish, and always goes for the catch. Capt. John makes sure he's always aware of currents, tides, and patterns, using these to his advantage, and he's all about safety, too. He treats every trip as if his own family is on board, and he is very easy going and laid-back. He has one main goal: to create memories that will last a long time!

3 Hour Ocean Shark on June 20, 2025

Must Book Experience

VERIFIED

We had an absolutely incredible experience shark fishing with this charter! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. John and Hunter were not only extremely knowledgeable, but also incredibly friendly and patient—especially with my two daughters, who were both excited and a little nervous at first. They took the time to explain everything, answered all our questions, and made sure we were comfortable and having fun. We felt completely safe and well taken care of the entire trip. We caught...

3 Hour Ocean Shark on August 22, 2024

Fishing with John

VERIFIED

John and Bob were awesome and very personable. Clean boat and a smooth ride out on the ocean. John had the perfect fishing spot to catch a 200+lb Sandbar shark. This was my first shark fishing trip and these guys did not disappoint. A good 30minute fight reeling in that shak and I woke up so sore today. Will definitely fish with these guys everytime I am in Ocean City.
