YOUR CAPTAIN
& FIRST MATE
Captain Cole grew up fishing and hunting the waters of the Chesapeake and Atlantic—this isn’t a side gig, it’s a way of life. Alongside First Mate Mason, they run every fishing charter with one goal: put fish on the deck while creating memories that last a lifetime.
Families are welcome. They love teaching youngsters to bait a hook, set a line, and feel the thrill of a first catch. Cole responds within an hour and Mason’s on every trip handling lines, bait, and keeping everyone dialed in.

REVIEWS
★★★★★
“What a day on the water! Captain Cole and First Mate Mason took us on an incredible ride through the waters of Ocean City. We even had the honor of breaking in Cole’s brand new boat, which already proved its luck by landing a 32″ striper! For the price, you simply won’t find a better value in all of Ocean City.”
— MATTHEW HURLEY · BAY FISHING · JUNE 2025

“My kids and I had an excellent time flounder fishing with Captain Cole and his mate Mason. They were quick to help rebait hooks and unsnag lines, which allowed for maximum fishing. Very pleasant crew to be on the water with!”
— PATRICK HUSSMANN · BAY FISHING · AUGUST 2025
★★★★★
“Booked the 4-hour nearshore trip and it did not disappoint. Captain Cole put us on fish within 20 minutes. Between the three of us we landed cobia, sea bass, and a couple of fat bluefish. Mason had the boat dialed — bait was fresh, lines stayed tight. Already rebooked for October.”
— MICAH CALHOUN · NEARSHORE COMBO · AUGUST 2025
★★★★★
“Had such a great time. Cole is very knowledgeable and friendly. I’m new to saltwater fishing and by the time I got off his boat I felt like I could go anywhere and hook on to some fish! He gave me options on what fish I wanted to target which was really cool. Cole hooked me on to a bunch of nice size flounders — him and his mate Mason, they know their stuff. Would definitely recommend booking with these guys!”

“This is the best fishing charter I’ve been on. Cole and Mason were super nice and took us to great spots to catch all sorts of fish. They are very educated and taught us valuable tips that helped us land the fish! We had some great keepers. It was a fun time and highly recommend to anyone looking to book a private charter!”
— SANDY LU · BAY FISHING · JUNE 2025
★★★★★
“The boat easily accommodated our family of three and was very comfortable. The captain, Cole, and mate, Mason, were extremely helpful in casting and reeling with our young son and knowledgeable regarding the local history and best areas to fish. We highly recommend this fishing trip!”

★★★★★
“Our second year in a row with Captain Cole and Mason and we’ll be back next year. Cole and Mason are very patient with our young fishers and our inexperienced group overall. We caught a lot of fish and a couple keepers and really enjoyed it! If we could have stayed on the water longer, we would have!”
— JOHN FOLEY · BAY FISHING · AUGUST 2025
★★★★★
“This was our second time out with Captain Cole and Mason, and we had a fabulous time! Our initial trip got cancelled due to bad weather, but they were super flexible and able to get us in the next day. Cole and Mason are friendly and knowledgeable, and we look forward to going out with them again next year!”
— BETHANY HAMILTON · BAY FISHING · JUNE 2025
★★★★★
“Cole and Mason did a fantastic job. We felt very comfortable upon boarding the boat. They took the time to explain everything to us. It felt like we have been friends with them for years. We highly recommend a charter with these two! I caught my first sheepshead!!!”
