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.

Spring morning trip

VERIFIED   6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 22, 2022
My only complaint is that everything says the boat leaves at 6AM but nothing says that it is an hour ride to the fishing spot....
