Member since February 2019 Ocean City, United States

Background: The captain has been fishing since he was young and he got into the Ocean City fishing scene around 2009. For him, the things you get to experience while fishing and sharing that with other people is the best feeling ever. The captain loves taking people fishing and providing them with experiences and activities they don’t get to live every day. One of his favorite things is introducing kids to the world of fishing and seeing first-timers reel in a huge fish. The captain also takes part in all the major tournaments out of Ocean City.
Techniques: The captain's favorite technique is whatever works to catch the targeted species. Sometimes you have to change tactics on the fly.

Flounder bite is on fire ?

May 12, 2025 Ocean City

Flounder fishing was absolutely insane!!

Bay Fishing Has Been Steady

Jul 17, 2024 Ocean City

Bay Fishing has been pretty consistent recently with tons of short flounder with keepers mixed in. The bluefish and stripers are around and biting good depending on conditions. Spot and croaker have been great for the kids to bend the rod. We have dates available and the bay trips are a great way to get the family out for a few hours on the water.

Another thresher shark

Jun 28, 2024 Ocean City

Caight another thresher shark coming in at 448lbs

Insgore trolling and light tackle stripe

Jun 16, 2024 Ocean City

The inshore trolling for bluefish and bonitos is picking up. Light tackle casting for big blues and stripers has been consistent first thing in the morning and evening.

350lb Thresher Shark

Jun 9, 2024 Ocean City

Caught and released a 91" approximately 350lb thresher shark on a 4 hr afternoon trip. Georgia boys put in work for just over an hour.

Hey Ben. Just saw your review and just curious about it. Not really sure how it’s accurate. Love for you to give me a call so I can figure it out and maybe help understand it before I reply to the review. The trip was for a wreck trip which is out of the inlet and the seas were 3-5ft at 5 seconds which is very rough (I came back in it in my offshore boat). It is at the Captains discretion to cancel due to weather which means rescheduling or a full refund. You were offered to fish in the bay instead of canceling or rescheduling. Showed up at 730 when the trip starts at 7 and because of the change in fishing type, the Captain had to swap rods to a different style of fishing. Pulled lines just after 12 and were charged $395 for a 4 hour bay trip after it was brought to my attention that it wasn’t a full 5 hours. Please give me a call or message me as reviews are a vital part of my business.

Boat too small - not much effort in going to where other people were catching fish.
