Just a few miles off the coast of Ocean City Maryland lies some of the best fishing on the east coast. The waters off Ocean City are home to countless wrecks and reefs teeming with hungry Sea Bass, Tog, Triggerfish, Flounder and Sea Trout. It is common for an 8 hour charter to catch in excess of 200 fish and taking fish on a bare hook is a regular occurance! Most anyone can point a boat east, drop a line to the bottom and wait for the bite, but knowing where these wrecks and reefs are located is the difference between catching a dozen fish a day and dozens per hour. A little farther east, some 50 miles off Ocean City lies the pristine blue waters known as the "canyons". Here the bottom drops from 300 feet to over 6000 feet. This sudden drop causes a condition known as up-welling. Up-welling occurs when the nutrient rich waters of the deep are forced upward toward the surface. This condition combined with the warm water tempatures of the nearby gulf stream are a mecca for Tuna, Marlin, Dolphin, Wahoo, and Mako Shark. The Captain and Crew of the Fin Chaser have fished the coastal and offshore waters of Ocean City since the early 80's. Their knowledge of the waters and bottom structure will make for a truly memorable day of fishing. So whether your game is fighting a hard-pulling tuna, hooking a spectacular leaping marlin, filling the fish box with dozens of beautiful mahi-mahi, catching a hundred tasty sea bass or wrestling a 12 lb. tog (bulldog) out of a wreck, the captain and crew of the "Fin Chaser" will do everything possible to make your day on the ocean a great success.

Few boats on the water today share the same storied history as the Bertram 31. Their remarkable hull design and proven fish catching ability prompted "Marlin" magazine to include this boat in its list of the top 10 sportfishing boats of all time. This endorsement along with fantastic maneuvering ability and fuel efficiency were three big reasons I decided to purchase a 31 Bertram. Today's charter rates aren't cheap! Many boats can run well over $1800.00 a day which is understandable when the boat may have cost over a quarter million dollars and might burn 60+ gallon of fuel per hour. I wanted a boat that offered plenty of fishing room for large parties but was efficient enough that a 2 or 3 person charter could still afford to go. Twin 210 horsepower Cummins diesels provide "Fin Chaser" a 24 knot cruise. A super size cockpit and modern restroom make for a comfortable day on the water. She is tournament rigged with only the best Penn & Shimano tackle and equipped with the most up-to-date marine electronics. Captain Dan Stauffer, affectionately known throughout the local fishing community as "Danny", is licensed by the US Coast Guard and is a guest speaker on the Saltwater Sportsman Magazine Traveling Seminar Series hosted by ESPN's George Poveromo. Capt. Dan grew up fishing the waters off of Ocean City MD, Palm Beach & Marathon FL. He has run boats off of Ocean City since the early 80's. The pictures you see on our website are all recent and many of which are dated. We strive to keep our fishing reports up-to-date and we post EVERYTHING, not just the good days, but the good, the bad, and the ugly.
