Outside of limiting out on Stripers, it was so enjoyable fishing alongside Captain Don and his lovely mate Madie. A tried-and-true Chesapeake fishing legend. His knowledge of the waters and Madie's attention on deck while bringing fish in just made the day for us. Cindy and I have not been back out on the bay since the early 80s, so we were looking forward to this trip with great anticipation. We were not disappointed. Let me terminate by saying. If the opportunity comes your way for a day on the Chesapeake, Contact Captain Don Johnson. You will not be disappointed. Note: Bring a nice-sized cooler to take home all the fish you will catch

Thank you very much, it was our pleasure to take you out today!
We had an absolutely amazing fishing trip! From start to finish, the crew made the experience smooth and enjoyable with excellent communication. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. We caught plenty of fish, which made the trip even more exciting! Everything was well-organized, and you could tell the crew truly cared about making it a memorable outing. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun and successful day on the water!

My buddy and i went out with these guys and we were killing it. None stop bites for hours… best trip.

I highly recommend this crew without question. They wasted no time putting us on fish right away. We got our limit of striped bass in about an hour.

thank you!

The weather conditions didn't live up to the forecast but the captain worked the issue around the bay bridge foundations and we limited out live-lining spot. Fun time with light tackle and a very accomodating mate.
