Background
Captain Michael Smolek has been running charters for over 20 years now and has a total of 35 years of fishing experience in the Chesapeake area. He loves taking people fishing, especially those who don't have the opportunity to get on a boat every day. There's nothing he enjoys more than people's excitement when they catch fish, even more so if it's their first time fishing.
