Your Fishing Charter

Welcome aboard "Kashmir"... with Capt.Tony Battista your host.

The boat is a custom 25' center console that was built right here in Ocean City. 

And yes, it is named after the "Led Zeppelin" song from 1975 off their "Physical Graffiti" album. 

She is powered by a 200 HP Yamaha outboard. 

She is equipped with all Simrad Electronics and a 36 V Minn Kota Riptide Instinct trolling motor featuring "Lock Spot" technology. 

We specialize in light tackle fishing with both live bait and artificial. 

We pride ourselves in using only top-quality gear from Shimano, Diawa, St.Croix, Bulls Bay and FFP.

"No junk on this boat"......
 
Fishing is a huge passion of Capt.Tony Battista. 

He has been fishing the waters around Ocean City for 45+ years. Even on his days off, you will find him fishing with friends and family.

His favorite fish to catch are cobia, mahi mahi, and speckled trout.

Capt. Tony will do what it takes to make sure you have the best experience possible.

He has built his businesses telling his clients the truth about the fishing conditions. He is not in the "boat ride" business....especially if you booked a fishing trip.

From beginner to avid angler, Capt Tony will give you 110%.

"Just read the reviews"...

On this 3 hour trip, you will be fishing the back bays behind Ocean City & Assateague Island. 

You will mainly target flounder, rockfish & bluefish.

Start times may vary based on the tide. The captain will contact you the afternoon or evening before to confirm. 

Fishing the best part of the tide in the back bays is crucial for the success of your trip.

The start time could vary an hour or so from the scheduled 7AM.

Never before 6AM and never later than 10 AM.

"Hook & Cook" option available.

AM 3 Hour Back Bay Fishing Trip

Spend 3 "Peaceful" hours on the back bays behind Ocean City and Assateague Island. This is the Captain's most favorite time of the day to be out on the water. Most of the day's busy boat traffic has already headed in and we almost have it all to ourselves.

Bring your dinner, catch some fish and watch a beautiful sunset.

5:00 PM Sunset Fishing Adventure

On this 4 hour trip, you will have the choice of either fishing the back bay or some of the nearshore wrecks (out to 5 nautical miles).

If you like trolling, that is also an option. Both spanish & king mackerel as well as bluefish roam the inshore shoals.

The captain will keep you informed on what your best option for success is leading up to your trip date.

"Hook & Cook" option available.

AM 4 Hour Near Shore Wreck Fishing

The waters off OC, MD are home to many natural and artificial reef sites.

These sites are excellent spots to spend the morning or afternoon fishing.

Multiple fish species call these areas home. Old wooden ships, retired military vehicles, subway cars and discarded concrete rubble make up a majority of these reef sites.

Black Seabass, Flounder, Tog, Scup, Lingcod, Weakfish, Triggerfish, Spadefish and Cobia are just some of the residents. 

You just never know what will bite.
