I started fishing with my grandfather at age 9. As a child, I grew up fishing on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay and off of the Rt. 50 Bridge in Ocean City, MD. In the early days it was all about Perch (both Yellow and White) and small rockfish. In Ocean City, it was all Flounder. My grandfather loved to catch Flounder. In my early teens I was introduced to trolling. Mostly for Striped Bass and Bluefish on the Chesapeake. These fish would range from 5 to 20 pounds with an occasional fish over 25. It was on one of these trolling trips that I got to experience light tackle fishing for the first time. Late in the afternoon, a school of 10-12 pound Stripers started breaking on the surface. The captain had the mate pull all of the trolling gear in and then handed everyone a spinning rod with a red and white bucktail on it. For the next 2 hours, we made cast after cast hooking up every time. I was hooked! I couldn't get enough of fishing, it's all I wanted to do during my summer breaks!

Mid Morning 3 Hour Back Bay Trip • 4 adults • 2 childrenWeather took a turn (which we were prepared for) but Captain still reached out to us prior to arrival to make sure we were aware and ok with it (since we had two kids)and was upfront about conditions , which I’m always thankful for upfront honesty. We still made out great! Tried multiple fishing spots, even though there were no keepers, he knew exactly where to go so the kids could catch things and see things. We caught flounders, bass, stingrays and saw sharks too. Took a cruise to look for ponies , where we saw one of the herds and overall had a great few hours just being out on the water. Will be booking another trip☺️

Response from CaptainThanks for booking with Saltwater Adventures. I hope the kids liked the t-shirts. I'm sorry the weather and water conditions weren't ideal for your trip. At least you knew what to expect before we left the dock. I try to be as honest as I can with all of my customers. I have been doing this a long time and understand the conditions and factors that need to be present to have a successful trip. Yes there is always a chance to "trip across" a keeper or two on days like this, but the odds were definitely against us. In the old days (pre- booking platforms & online reviews), I would have canceled the trip and told you we should wait for a better day. My reputation as a captain is more important than a few hundred dollars. In this new era, we are almost forced to take people out even when we know the chances for success are diminished. If we don't, another captain will. Either way, we get penalized in our online ranking. Thanks again and I look forward to our next trip. We will make sure to pick the right day.

AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip • 4 adults🎣 Great Day on the Water with Saltwater Adventures! Had an awesome trip with Saltwater Adventures today. There were four of us on the boat, and every one of us caught at least fou fish with a nice variety of species throughout the trip. Flounder were definitely the go-to, and our captain did a fantastic job of moving us around and consistently putting us in locations where the fish were biting. That makes all the difference on a charter. Instead of spending the day hoping to find fish, we stayed on them and kept catching. Great fishing, great company, and a captain who clearly knows the local waters. If you're looking to get out and do some saltwater fishing, Saltwater Adventures is absolutely worth checking out. 🎣 Four anglers 🐟 4+ fish caught by each of us 🌊 Multiple species 🔥 Flounder were the stars of the day 📍 Captain kept putting us on the fish Definitely a trip I'd do again. #SaltwaterAdventures #OceanCityMD #OCMD #MarylandFishing #SaltwaterFishing #FlounderFishing #FishingCharter #FishingTrip #TightLines #FishOn #EasternShore #MarylandOutdoors

Response from CaptainHey Jack, Thanks. I'm glad you guys enjoyed your trip with us today. Even if the fish hadn't cooperated, it was good fun with lots of laughs. Hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation. Looking forward to next time.
George HartmanPennsylvania, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedNEWGreat trip
AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip • 2 adultsFun trip with a knowledgeable captain. Excellent communication. Worked with us on a trip due to impending bad weather on the day we had planned. Changed to a 3 hour bay trip which he extended so it ended being closer to 5 and caught some flounder. He was working his network of captains to get us on fish the whole time. He got us on fish when nobody else was. We will be scheduling with him again.
Reported catch:Response from CaptainHey George, Thanks. I'm glad you and your step-dad enjoyed your trip with us. Conditions weren't perfect. but we were able to make it happen. Hope you enjoy the fresh flounder for dinner.
Jason HahnMaryland, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedNEWAwesome day on the water with Capt. Tony!
AM 3 Hour Back Bay Morning Trip • 2 adultsThe conditions were not all optimal, very windy and working against the tide but Capt. was diligent in trying new things until we got on the fish. We caught a variety of species and came home with 2 nice keeper flounder. Boat was extremely comfortable and Capt. was super accommodating. Appreciated all the hard work to get us some tight lines. We will be fishing with Capt. Tony again.
Reported catch:Response from CaptainHey Jason, Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip with me this afternoon. I'm glad you were able to change your start time so we could hit the right tide. Enjoy the fresh fish! See you next time.

Sunset Fishing Adventure • 2 adultsCaptain Tony made all the right moves to put us on fish in less than ideal conditions. His knowledge of the local waters helped overcome post torrential rain, which muddied up the waters, which landed my son his PB flounder. Put a 25 3/4” 6 and a half pounder in the boat! These guys were great and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great day on the water.
Reported catch:Response from CaptainHey Michael, I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us. Mother Nature made us work extra hard for that one. I knew we would have a chance if that water cleaned up a little and cooled down at the end of the incoming tide. That fish was our heaviest of the season. We had one a little longer, but it weighed a little less. Awesome fish, congrats. I hope the memories last a lifetime or till he catches one bigger.
