About Your Trip
Climb aboard for a fun-filled day exploring the scenic back bays of Ocean City, Maryland with Captain Cole! This 3-hour inshore adventure is perfect for families, first-timers, and seasoned anglers alike. With Captain Cole’s local knowledge and easygoing style, you’re in for a hands-on fishing trip packed with excitement, learning, and unforgettable memories.
Fishing these calm, shallow waters means no long runs offshore—just quick access to some of the best inshore fishing the area has
to offer. During the summer months, expect to target a solid mix of Flounder, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Sheepshead, and Tautog. Depending on conditions, you might be drifting open flats for Flounder, casting into current lines for Blues, or bottom fishing near bridges for hard-fighting Sheepshead. The fish are always moving, and so are Captain Cole’s tactics—no two trips are the same, and that’s all part of the fun!
Your boat for the day is a 23’ C-Hawk center console powered by a 150HP Honda outboard, fully equipped with Simrad electronics, radar, VHF radio, and all required safety gear. There's a live bait well onboard to keep your bait frisky and coolers ready for your food, drinks, and any fish you’d like to keep.
Captain Cole provides everything you need to fish, including quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, and even your fishing license. Want to bait your own hook? Absolutely. Prefer to net your own catch? Go for it. This trip is as hands-on as you want it to be, and Captain Cole loves seeing anglers—especially kids—get involved and have a blast. If you're bringing young ones, just give him a heads-up so he can make sure the right-size life jackets are on board.
Once you’re back at the dock, the crew will clean and fillet your catch so it’s ready for the grill or freezer. And with a helpful first mate on board (tips are appreciated—20% is customary), you’ll have all the support you need to focus on the fun.
Whether you’re chasing your first fish or just looking for a laid-back day on the bay, this Ocean City inshore trip with Captain Cole delivers the perfect mix of fishing, family time, and coastal adventure. Book your trip today and come see why a few hours on the water can turn into memories that last a lifetime.
