Spring Trophy Season and Full Time Fishing

    Hello everyone, We have some exciting and nervous news to share with our customers. This year we will be running trips fulltime all year long. I have left my position with Omega Protein to focus on expanding the business and working on the water commercially full time. What this means is that any date from the start of trophy season through the end of the year will be available for charter. I will be crabbing and oystering on the days we aren't running trips but will be available 7 days a week from April 20th through December 31st. This is a big jump for us, but we are looking forward to spending that much more time on the water. Trophy season begins this year on April 20th and runs through May 15th this year and we will be ready by then to get after the big boys. This is your best chance of the year to get some of our biggest fish of the year and watching us fish a 34 line spread. From May 15th until the 2nd week of June will be chasing the schoolie stripers on light tackle out of Olverson's Marina on the Potomac River before we head back to Reedville to start our summertime fishing catching Cobia, bottomfishing for spot and croaker, or trolling for blues and Spanish Mackerel. These late May, early June trips are action packed with lots of light tackle action. We have also redone some of the website and have a few new options for trips this summer, take some time and check it out and get your group together to get on board with us. Give us a call or shoot us an email today for more information or to get your date booked.

Fall Rockfishing is almost here!!!

     Hello everyone, I hope everyone is still above water after the extremely wet summer we have had and is ready for some rockfishing! The season is just around the corner and getting here quickly. We are a little late getting organized for our fall season due to some heavy commercial fishing this summer which will continue into the fall. We do still have some dates available for some light tackle livelining and trolling dates as well. We will start off livelining and do it as long as the weather allows until trolling picks up sometime in November and continue through the end of the year. The dates we still have available are 10/6,10/7,10/21,10/27,10/28,11/10,11/18,11/25,12/2,12/16-12/31 excluding Christmas Eve and Day. These are some of the best dates of the year to get your rockfish fix on. Give us a call today to get on the books with your friends, family, or coworkers. Looking forward to getting back in action this fall and hoping to see you on board.

Unfortunately, our calendar is full for the trophy season so if you and your group were still wanting to get your rockfish on, we will be targeting them through the first weekend of June before we switch over to cobia. We do still have a couple spots available for our walk-on this coming Monday, 4/23/18. The weather looks great for Monday and after this cool spring fishing should be great.

Spring Trophy Season is right around the corner!!!

      Hello everyone, It may not feel like it on a daily basis, but spring is here believe it or not, and with spring comes spring trophy season. We are finishing up a few last minute touches on the railway and hope to be getting wet soon. We will be getting underway in just over 2 weeks, we are excited and ready to go for opening day on the 21st. We do still have 2 openings for your chance at a trophy, 4/23 and 5/13 are still available. 4/23 is a prime date early in the season and with that being said if no one books it for a full charter, we will be doing a make up trip that day for $125 per person which includes tip for the first 8 to sign up. If neither of these dates work to get your rockfish fix on, don't worry we have dates available for the schoolies in midMay- June 3rd. We have 5/19, 5/20, 5/26, 5/27, 5/28 and 6/3 available for rockfishing before we kick off cobia fishing on 6/9. We were just handed down our cobia regulations for the season a couple weeks ago and for the most part it's the same as last year. We can keep 3 fish per day 40" minimum, one of the 3 can be over 50" until Sept. 30th, but we have the gaff back and as many of you know coercing a cobia into the net can be a task so we are glad to have the gaff back at our disposal. Even though we are only allowed to keep 3, we can practice catch and release so everybody on board gets a chance to battle the man in the brown suit!!! Give us a call or shoot us an email to sign up for our walk on trip or to get your family, coworkers, or friends on board for a great day on the Bay!!!

Fall Rockfishing 2017 Lite Version*

Hello Everyone,
Hope you all are doing well and looks like fall is finally upon us. I apologize for being late on getting things together for our fall fishery this year, but there are several reasons for that. As you all know I commercial fish as well as run charters and this year after a slower than normal commercial year, we are trying to make up ground now and the season has been extended until midDecemeber which means we won't be running any weekday trips until midDecember. My wife is also expecting our son to be born sometime the week after Christmas so it's probably best that I'm not fishing when we are preparing for the 2nd miracle of our marriage. With all that being said, fishing is starting to heat up with the cooler temps finally showing up. We have been running a few trips since midOctober and fishing has gotten better with the rockfish finally starting to gain some size and have even had some grey trout to jig on like days of old. We are looking forward to spending our limited fall schedule on the water with our customers, I also would like to apologize to the limited availability of dates this year, but if you miss out on your date this fall, there is always our Spring Season starting 3rd Saturday of April through the end of May. The dates we have available are 11/24, 12/3, 12/10, 12/17 and 12/19-12/23. Again I apologize for the limited availability and if these dates won't work for you guys, give us a call anyway and maybe I can get you on board with one of the other great local captains I have the pleasure of working around. We intend to run our normal schedule after this winter and should have plenty of dates available from here on out. I hope everyone has a great upcoming holiday season and hopefully we see you on the water!!

Red Hot Cobia Fishing!!!

Hello Everyone, 

    After a warmer than usual spring, our summer has gotten off to a mild start, but things are starting to heat up. This continues to be an unusual season to say the least, finally its starting to turn in our favor. Just 10 days into the cobia season fishing is great and shows signs of staying great throughout the summer looking at reports of fish still coming up from the Carolina coast and plenty of them already here. We have made a couple scouting trips this past week and have had cobias every trip, yesterday we had 5 hooked up and 4 landed before quitting at 8 am with the biggest being 42 lbs. We have also seen signs of Spanish Mackerel which usually don't make an appearance until early to midJuly. We still have weekend dates for this great summer fishery which seems to be getting better and better every year. Give us a call or shoot us an email to get your name on the list to get in on some of this action before we get booked up and you miss your chance at Mr. Brown Suit.
