If you would like to fish in multiple areas, choose a trip longer than 4 hours to give captain time to change locations.

Have realistic expectations. Evaluate your experience based on the captain and mates efforts not just fish caught. We were fortunate we caught our limit.

Weather is important, as well as water temp. Make sure you look at it before you go. Anytime we catch fish it's good. There were plenty of fish, just not as many bites as the Captain hoped for. Not for a lack of effort and marks on the screen.

This was our first fishing trip in Rock Hall and it was absolutely awesome! We would highly recommend Wayne and Drew! We all caught lots of fish. For some in my family it was the first time out on a charter fishing trip. For others, some have been out on other charter before, but this trip and these guys are absolutely great!

The boat is very fancy, no need to worry nowhere to rest or too cold on the sea in early morning.

Bottom fishing is more appropriate for young anglers and gives more “rod time” than trawling for Spanish mackerel.

If the wind is blowing out of the N or NE there will be parts of the main bay that cannot be fished. We were hoping to fish for bull redfish but wind did not allow that to happen. We had fun catching rockfish instead.

Solomons was a lovely place to visit — easy to navigate, not crowded, and full of genuinely friendly people. There was a nice variety of restaurants, and all the fishing boats seemed to be catching fish. A relaxing and enjoyable spot for a day trip or weekend getaway.

Surf fishing was tougher for sure in July, pier fishing was a little better and the best catches were definitely on the charter boat!

It was hotter than Hades while we were out there but we still had a great time! I don’t think there’s really a bad time to go fishing. It’s the whole experience that matters.
