We had a great day, pefect weather and caught some fish we could keep. Perfect day. Captain Fred is very knowledgable, accommodating and overall a great host for a day of fishing. I would recommend his charter to anyone and we will be booking again for sure.

3 Hour Trip – Tautog (back bay)

Great tog trip. Capt Fred was fantastic.

VERIFIED

Perfect 3 hour back bay trip for Tog. the meeting dock was easy to get to, and we were on the way immediately. Capt Fred had us on fish in about 20 minutes from the dock and we were catching tog all morning. Very nice, comfortable boat and reliable fishing equipment. Caught our limit and Capt Fred did an excellent job at filleting our trophies. I would definitely recommend Capt Fred to both experienced and first-time fishermen. I will use Grateful Fred Charters next time I’m in the Ocean City... More

Spent half day fishing with my 17 year old son. Fred was totally on top of everything. All the best gear and extensive knowledge gained from experience and shared with enthusiasm. We were inexperienced but determined anglers before we met Fred, now we feel like knowledgeable novice anglers. Thanks so much we will be back soon.

Captain Fred took us to his favorite spots by the bridges, taught us how to catch Tog, which we did - as well as a couple of sharks. And all the while we talked sports, family, travel, and fishing. A great day on the bay.
