Captain Paul is the owner of the Spring Mix II, he also is a Coast Guard licensed Captain. Captain Paul knows there is more to running a charter business then just having a Captains license so he has hired one of the best in the area to run charters on the Spring Mix II. Captain Chris Watkowski is a real threat to the big fish. With more than 25 years offshore experience on the whole East Coast and out of Ocean City, Captain Chris knows the secret places you never knew existed. He specializes in catching Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, and Sharks.

    Caught my first yellowfin tuna!

    12 Hour Trip – Make Up / Split Trip • 1 adult

    Had a wonderful trip! Captain Chris and his mate Ben is a great team that know how to put fish on the line. My target fish was a tuna and they made it happen, even though it was early in the season (may 27), Caught two mahi and a 50lb yellow fin tuna. The owner Paul is very friendly and accommodating as well. All together, this is a professional and friendly crew. Look forward to booking with them in the keys next year.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Yellowfin Tuna

    Don’t waste your time looking through boats, this is the one

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    It was perfect conditions so it was a perfect day before we left the dock. I’ve been fishing all around the world for 30+ years and I live in Miami so I know what to expect. The boat is VERY well kept. The captain and the mate are extremely knowledgeable and very experienced. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I highly recommend and won’t waste my time searching any other boats next time we come back. We maxed out on black fin tuna and had an amazing day. Great job Capt!

    Excellent Efforts

    12 Hour Trip – Make Up / Split Trip • 2 adults

    Captain and first mate gave it their best shot for an early spring tuna trip, slow morning but a very productive afternoon with a lot of action! First mate was non stop all day re-rigging and try different setups, 6 of us had a blast . Definitely would highly recommend, worth every penny spent!

    Great trip with a great boat that had the best crew

    12 Hour Trip – Make Up / Split Trip • 2 adults

    We caught Mahi, and lots of them. The captain (Chris) and first mate (Ben) couldn't have been better! They both worked extra hard to catch fish and worked together very well. This was a trip to remember, and I will book another trip with them.

    Perfect Day!

    3/4 Day Trip • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had the best day on the Spring Mix II with Captain Chris and mate Ben. We caught our limit of tuna, huge mutton snappers and some yellow tails + a shark. The boat was perfect for our two families and Captain and Mate were so helpful to our boys - on their first off shore charter. Definitely recommend and we’ll certainly be back!

    Reported catch:
    Mutton Snapper
    Blackfin Tuna
    Yellowtail Snapper

    Great group from Maryland and Calf. for some good end of the summer fishing. Caught a white marlin and yellow fin tuna early. Added and couple more white marlin during the day and hit the pots for some mahi on the way home.
