We had an amazing day of fishing. Doug knows every inch of the Bay and where the fish are. The boat is well outfitted and handles the Bay with ease. We would highly recommend this charter.

Darren, you and Susan differently put the heat on the Redfish yesterday. Great meeting you guys and I totally enjoyed our time together. I was hopeful that fresh fish would be on the menu for dinner… let’s stay that was a success. Safe travels home and see you guys on the next trip South.

David, I greatly appreciate you guys coming out yesterday. We had absolutely beautiful weather and clam water but the bite was difficult. We found them but someday it’s tough to get them to eat. I hope you see you guys again in the future. Lastly, thank you for your generosity (5Stars)

Captain Doug is very knowledgeable about the waters of the Rappahannock, Carrotomen, and Chesapeake Bay. We visited all three on our trip. Unfortunately, the fish just were not biting on this day. We enjoyed Doug’s banter and beautiful day on the river.
