I started fishing with my dad when I was 7 years old. During the fishing trip, he would put me in the helm seat and point to a landmark and tell me to steer for it. He would then handle all the lines. As I got older, I progressed into more of the role of the first mate. By the time I was 14, I was running the back of the boat taking care of all the fishing equipment. Besides working for my dad, I also mated for several captains on the dock. I took a break from fishing for a few years to serve my country in the US Navy. Once I was out, I continued my fishing career with my dad who owned and operated the Feathers. When I wasn't fishing, I was a career firefighter for Montgomery County MD. I retired at the rank of Master Firefighter. I bought my first charter boat in 1992. I am now on my fourth. She is a classic Chesapeake Bay Deadrise, built in 1958. I had the hull completely fiberglassed in early 2022. This is the first boat I am restoring since my father passed.

    Captain Chris and crew were professional and attentive to our party.

    6 Hour Trip Fall Rockfishing AM5 adults2 children

    Though we were unsuccessful this outing and getting any fish, Captain Chris and crew worked hard for us to do so. It isn't t the first outing where I spent a day on the Bay without getting fish. Bay and weather conditions were suboptimal but we felt the effort at trying to find the fish, and tge attention to our comfort and needs was commendable. If it was easy they would call it catching.

    Extremely accommodating

    Bottom Fishing Special (PM)8 adults

    We went out this past weekend for a corporate fishing trip with several very novice fisherman just looking to get an escape. Chris the captain was an extremely effective communicator, letting us know where to be at where to park arrival times, but we would need to bring, etc. and had everything handled for us the entire time for an extent of six hours the deck hand Hawkins was extremely patient and comfortable assisting with any lines bait, tackle, and removal of fish. both Chris and Hawkins were extremely knowledgeable answered any tedious questions and even gave us use of their Bluetooth speaker. The trip was an absolute blast and I would recommend Misty blue charters to anyone going forward.

    Response from Captain
