Hey Gang,
I’m calling it a day.
After 20 years ‘on the water’ and/or ‘at sea’ (heck there were several years I spent more time at-sea then I did on land), the time is right to step away. I’m shutting it down Friday, August 29th. I’ll most likely still be involved on a limited basis next year in some capacity with other charter or partyboat operations in the area.
Sure, there were many memorable catches, and some trips that can only be viewed as historic, once in a lifetime outings. Looking at you Nolan. 😉But honestly, the most fun we had on a day-to-day basis was helping kids catch their first fish ever and watching their excitement.
The whole crew, and especially the mates, thank you. God knows ya’ll made some very generous contributions to their college funds. Deb and I thank you. It’s rare one gets to pursue and succeed at your passion. I’m very grateful to all of you for that.
Below is a list of other charter and partyboat options in the Ocean City area. Many of these captains I consider personal friends. The others I know to be good captains and people who offer quality experiences from back-country light tackle to canyon runs. I included some options for partyboats, specialty trips, and North Jersey Fall stripers.
So tightlines, fair winds, and following seas.
Thanks Again,
Captain Michael Doebley
