Background
My passion for fishing and being on the water began with my grandfather taking me fishing offshore in Ocean City, Maryland at the age of 6.The enjoyment I get from my clients excitement boating a grouper or my mate gaffing a Wahoo only adds to my passion to continue searching for that trophy wall hanger or bottom bumping for that reminiscent back water flounder.
Techniques
Trolling the blue water for Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo and billfish is an exciting action packed day or deep water bottom fishing for Grouper and other reef/wreck species.

Pipe Dream Charters Published by Scott Thompson ยท April 25 at 7:04โ€ฏAM ยท Jodi C. 01 4/24/24 I recently had an incredible fishing trip with Pipe Dream Charters, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! Captain Scott was knowledgeable and highly skilled, ensuring we were in the best spots to catch fish. His passion for fishing and the sea was evident, making the experience not only successful but also educational. First Mate Jimmy was fantastic as well; his attentiveness and expertise were top-notch. He was always ready to assist with a smile, from baiting hooks to giving instructions when reeling in the big ones. We managed to catch a variety of fish along with a couple sharks and both Captain Scott and Jimmy were enthusiastic about every catch, big or small. Most exciting was the cobia caught by our first timer. If you're looking for a memorable day on the water, I highly recommend booking with Pipe Dream Charters. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, Captain Scott and First Mate Jimmy will ensure you have a fantastic time. I'm already looking forward to my next trip with them!
