Captain
Douglas Ely

Member since March 2022 Ocean City, United States
Background
As a teenager, I began working on the fuel dock and then started working at a fishing boat and speedboat rental agency. Eventually I became a biologist and worked for the state wildlife agency. After five years I became a conservation officer and retired from that career. Upon my retirement I obtained my merchant mariners captains license and I’m currently running charters for fishing and sightseeing.
Techniques
We will fish wrecks and reef structures for flounder and other bottom fish. Bluefishing is also possible. In the beginning and end of the summer season, the striper run is very exciting in both the back Bay’s and rivers as well as inshore and near shore.
