Capt. Edmund has been fishing in this part of Virginia all his life. He's not a waterman but a shipbuilder, but when his mom would put meat on the table it was something from the bay most of the time. Capt. Edmund still can't find a region that has the quality of seafood for the price as right here in Tidewater Virginia!

    6 Hour Trip 8-21-22

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore • 4 adults

    Ed is a great guy. Very personable and friendly. Explained things to anyone that asked, and more importantly to the kid with lots of questions. Fishing was off, but not the fault of AM services / Ed. He took us to all the local hot spots and we tried trolling and bottom fishing with limited success. Nearly out of time on the rip and heading back, we hit a feeding event and he broke out the rods and we caught several nice mackerel and blues. It's fishing - not shopping!!! Ed then further extended the trip to the navy yard for a cruise of the air craft carriers, frigates, and subs being worked on before heading in. Highly recommended.

    Half Day trip

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore • 3 adults

    Everything was set for a great trip but we ended up having a small engine issue. We were certainly ready for the day and the Captain had various baits to pursue a multitude of species. Even though we didn't make it out, our experience was fantastic and we are looking forward to re-scheduling our trip with AM Services as soon as the boat ready to launch again.

    Looking forward to the next trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 3 adults

    We had an awesome time. The captain took us to several different spots so we can fish and he even fished with us and gave us what he caught. We caught 28 croakers and several other fish. He stayed an extra hour out there for us to fish. We really enjoyed ourselves and looking forward to the next trip. Thank you Captain for an awesome experience.

    Half day trip with Al

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    We loved our experience. I spend 30 minutes fighting a Cobia that was probably 40-60 pounds! Al was a great captain. He's extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He knew all the great spots to fish. He even gave some advice for shore fishing in the area.

    Reported catch:
    Cobia
    Flounder
    Black Seabass
    Amberjack

    See you next time 😆

    Unproductive GREAT DAY

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 1 adult

    Weather and temps changed overnight… Captain Edmund worked hard to put us on fish, but it wasn’t happening today… I still had a great trip and enjoyed his local knowledge and history of the area… He (sponsored) me into his private yacht club for a wonderful dinner after our trip… I recommend even though we didn’t have a productive catch😊🎣

    Response from Captain

    Always welcome we’ll get out to the Wreck s next time with better condition s

    We seen dolphins, Raptor jets, and a submarine! Then we caught a cooler full of Mackerels and Bluefish. Captain was cool, knowledgeable and hilarious. Boat is perfect for 4 people and comfortable. Very relaxing, we played music on our Bluetooth speaker, and enjoyed the voyage. We appreciated the opportunity thanks!
