Half Day Trip
I took my youngest on a half-day trip with Captain Mike and First Mate Mike. We didn’t catch a thing, but that wasn’t for lack of effort on their part. Captain Mike warned me ahead of time and asked if I’d like to choose a different day with better weather, but that was literally the only day I could go. They took us to four different locations, but the water was just too cold and the currents too strong. As proof that was not the best day to be fishing, we were the only boat out there other than a couple of guys working their crab pots. So I can’t compliment the crew enough for the amazing service and doing their best to help my youngest hook something. (I let them take the lead on that - I’m your guy when it comes to teaching someone how to hook treefish, rockfish, branchfish, and really anything else that’s not a fish.) They were very friendly and the boat ride was a lot of fun, though it was a bit rough for my youngest after a while. Once he got back on dry land and had some time to rest he was talking about how we’ll have to try again…when the water is nicer. We’ll have to try again during the summer. For anyone looking for a good crew to spend time on the water with - they’re your crew. Fair winds and following seas.

Half Day Trip
Today was my first sport fishing trip ever. Thought we’d do a half day to ease into it. Mike was thorough and well equipped. Cobia are in season in the Chesapeake Bay, so we headed out to get some. They were reluctant to play at first, so we trolled for mackerel and secured 4 little beauts. Finally spotted some Cobia and Mike and his mate helped us secure a cool 52”-er. The weather was perfect, Mike’s boat is terrific, and his service surpassed it all. Great day on the water. He cleaned and filéted our catches. Could not recommend more.

Half Day Trip
We had a great time with Captain Mike and Wally! We thought we were going to be unlucky since our trip was for four hours and we didn’t catch any fish. However, Captain Mike was very nice and kept us out longer without charging extra and he was able to snag a huge Cobia for us. Thank you so much and we will use his services again! We highly recommend to all of our family and friends!
