  A GREAT fishing experience!

  Full Day Trip on July 16, 2026 • 4 adults

  Capt John and First Mate Ronnie were absolutely wonderful. They were very flexible, most kind, and were filled with good stories and funny jokes. It was a very warm day, but the boat was super clean, spacious, and had AC. Capt John and Ronnie got us out on the water and on the fish without delay. We were fortunate to catch our limit of Bluefish and the Capt treated us to pan searing some of the catch for us to taste. It was an unexpected extra touch. Will def schedule another trip!!!! EC

  Fish should fear Captain John!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on July 12, 2026 • 4 adults

  Capatin John and his first mate, Rick, are fish whisperers! Our family of four caught our limit quickly! He has a beautiful lure combination that enabled us to bring in two bluefish at a time. Then, after all the fun, Captain John cooked some of our catch for us right there on the boat. It was delicious! The next time we charter a fishing trip, we will be aboard Patent Pending with John and Rick. We can’t wait!

  5/5 — 28 fish in record time, even in 100° heat!

  Half Day Trip (PM) on July 3, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  Unbelievable day out with Patent Pending. It was a scorcher at 100 degrees but we still landed 28 fish in record time thanks to the Captain John's own custom-invented lures. He literally designed the gear he fishes with, and it worked like a charm. Boat was clean, ride was comfortable, and the both Captain John and Rick were awesome with our boys, teaching them what to look for and getting them hooked on fishing for good. Our neighborhood had a feast tonight. Highly recommend — we're already booking again for the fall!

  Fun trip and worthwhile haul.

  Full Day Trip on June 27, 2026 • 6 adults

  Capt. John and Rick were amazing during our family fishing trip. They were very helpful and shared a lot of information related to fishing, fish, rods, reels, lures, lines, etc. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and we would definitely go fishing with Capt. John again. Rick was great with working with my children and other first timers. They were both patient and very eager to make sure we had fun and enjoyed our experience.

  Fantastic Experience with Capt John and First Mate Rick

  Full Day Trip on November 8, 2025 • 6 adults

  Within the first hour of the trip, we had catched four good size strippers. We hit our limit within 3 hrs of the journey. John and Rick are extremely knowledgeable about the bay, fishing techniques and provided clear guidance when we needed them. Also, They are amicable, polite and caring. One of our anglers was feeling sea sick and they made sure he was feeling OK. The vessel is in extremely good shape and very well matained. We returned to the dock early as we hit our fishing quota. Something to keep in mind, is that Maryland regulations dont allow for more than 1 legal size stripper per person. We will definetely be returning customers! Thank you Capt John and Rick for an amazing time. 🛥️🎣
