THE CREW

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 trip 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.

WHAT ANGLERS SAY

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
