Dennis Ward

Member since March 2022 Ocean City, United States

Background: I grew up in the Ocean City, Maryland area and have been involved in the sportfishing charter industry as well as the private boat tournament circuit my whole adult life. After being blessed with the opportunity to travel the world competing at a high level of sportfishing, I am again blessed with the chance to take families fishing in my home Ocean City waters. I get to show them the wonderful world of our local waters, especially our young anglers. Family-friendly, as well as adult outings, can be arranged accordingly.
Techniques: Light tackle

My son and I booked with Dennis and he was very knowledgeable about the area. Dennis was very engaging and tried different spots in the bay to catch fish. My son liked the one on one attention on the charter. Highly recommend for anyone with a small group

So much fun ! Dennis is a great captain. He knows all the hot spots. We fished for bait and then ventured out to one of his favorite spots. My husband caught a nice flounder and I caught about a 40 lb. Sting ray. If you want fish, fun and some good fishing Dennis is your man.
