This was our first charter with my two sons, and I was really hoping to hook into a big fish. The bite started off slow, and for the first few hours we only managed some small perch and catfishโmostly bait-sized fish. But the captain didnโt give up. He made the call to move us to a completely different spot and even offered to stay out longer so weโd have a better chance. That decision paid off! We ended up landing a couple of solid catfish, including a 10-pound blue cat that made the day. My friend also caught an eel, which was an unexpected surprise and fun for everyone to see.
My boys said it was โso much fun,โ and I couldnโt agree more. Between the excitement of the catches, the captainโs persistence, and just being out on the water on such a beautiful day, it was a trip weโll all remember. Thanks, Captain, for making it such a great experience!

My son(18) , nephew(12) and I had a wonderful morning out with Joe. He was easy to communicate with leading up to the trip and gave detailed instructions of where to meet him. Joe has been fishing this area for a long time and really knows where to go to find the fish. We caught a LOT of perch(small guys, fun to catch) and a few little catfish but the keepers were evading us all morning. About a half hour before the charter was to be over we started catching big catfish(which is what my son wanted, he loves to cook). Joe cleaned the fish while we finished up which was SOOoooo appreciated. 10/10 would recommend.

Had a great time fishing with Captain Joe.ย He was very knowledgeable about the chesapeake Bay and gave us lots of history about the area.ย We caught 3 striped bass, saw bald eagles, ducks and cormorants.ย Book with Bay Raiders Outfitters and have a great time fishing with Captain Joe.
Captain Joe provided us with a trip we will most certainly remember. He was on the fish throughout our trip, 30+ catfish on a 4 hour trip, awesome is the best word to describe it. When we left my wife asked the boys scale of 1 to 10 how was the trip, 10โs from them and my wife and I. We will definitely be planning future trips with Captain Joe.
The captain was very helpful and knowledgeable the grandson and my husband are I was well taken care of , he was very caring and help with our challenges being senior, safety first and he had a great personality. If u want a wonderful time u need to book your fishing trip tru him. Will Recommend to all my friends. ๐๐
