A Great Experience with A Great Captain

I and my two out of town friends had a great experience with Captain Stephen Woodbury of Chummy Fishing Charters. All was very easy from booking through FishBookers to meeting the Captain on time. While the wind and tide made for rough waters at times, Captain Woodbury took us to calmer locations. We were excited by the variety of fish we caught and had a great time. We appreciated the Captain’s knowledge of locations and identifying the fish with which we weren’t... More

The captain is very laid-back, down to earth and friendly. This nakes for a relaxing atmosphere! He put us on fish all day, even with less than favorable weather conditions. We caught Puffer, lady, flounder, grouper, spotted trout, sheepshead, reef shark, bonnet head shark, and red snapper! we kept a few and took our catch of the day to a local restaurant and ate it that night! It made for a very memorable day!! Thanks Stephen!!!

Captain Steve knows his business well; a seasoned saltwater angler, he instinctively knew where the fish ran and when to shift to another spot. We had instant hits at every location. The varity in fish types made it more fun, depending on near- or in-shore fishing. Adam
