This year, my youngest caught 10 fish. My older son caught a 3 and I caught 2. While none were keepers, it was still exciting for all of us to catch something. We have been on other services on the ocean, and prefer the bay fishing. Last year, our ocean sea adventure included everyone on the boat hanging off the edge barfing. After that debacle, we decided to stick with Happy Hooker as our only fishing outing. In all of the years going out with Happy Hooker, we have only experienced a tranquil ride to various fishing spots. In years past, our entire family has participated. It is a family friendly outing, that is exciting for young children and relaxing for parents.

The website noted that the fishing conditions weren't prime yet, due to currents of some sort. But as we were a group of total newbies, we were just as excited about going out onto the ocean far from shore as we were to discover fishing. The charter departed right on time. We went to several spots to fish and everyone caught at least one fish - we think we had a ringer with us, judging by the 6 fish she caught. We hooked a flounder but it was undersize and had to be returned to the ocean. You can take your fish home and clean them yourself or walk over to the shop and have them clean the fish for you for a very small fee. This was a lot of fun and we enjoyed eating our fresh fish quite a bit.

On top of that the cost was average for the area, but you got a half day of fishing rather than just 2 or 3 hours. By far the best value.. Kids had a great time.

Well...Captain Kane changed how I fish. His way around the ocean and his knack for getting you to the right places to optimize your chances to make your catch is above exceptional. Now I love to fish for Tog (aka Blackfish or Tautog) and CK knows where the fish are. He goes that extra mile...literally, to help you make your catch and put dinner on the table. The fish are BIGGER too. I have now been on a dozen or so trips with the Captain and have nothing but praise for his efforts to make the trip as productive and enjoyable as possible. When Tog was out of season, I have ventured to try for other types of fish like Black Seabass and Flounder and have been rewarded with a cooler full of fish. My next trip will be to fish for Golden Tile in some deep deep water.

Bahia was a convenient stop for picking up some frozen bait before a day of fishing…read more It's a full size bait and tackle shop, so you'll find just about everything you'd expect. Rods, reels, tackle, frozen and live bait, fishing gear, and plenty of other supplies. They also sell drinks inside, including beer, soda, and water. I even think I spotted a fountain drink machine. Parking was easy thanks to the large lot that's shared with their marina, tackle shop, and restaurant. The staff were friendly and especially helpful when we asked where we might have some luck fishing. They pointed us in the right direction and were happy to answer our questions. We picked up a pack of frozen squid and a pack of spearing for about $15 total. If you're staying in Ocean City and need bait, tackle, or a few supplies before heading out on the water, Bahia is an easy stop and a pleasant place to shop.

THE FISHING TRIP: My nephew-in-law arranged everything. I reluctantly agreed to go for the boat ride but wasn't interested in fishing. Pole rental was an additional $5 which was paid on-board. The small boat can accommodate about 40 people with limited covered seating. A restroom is available. About 30 of us set sail into the bay to fish for flounder. I had no idea how easy it was to fish for them as you simply drop your line into the water, no casting, at a guesstimated depth of about 15 feet as the weight hit the bay's floor almost instantly. I watched, in boredom, as the others baited their lines with a shiner and squid, dropped them in and waited. After a while one of the kids in our party gave up so I took over his line. And me being the one who didn't want to fish was the only one in our party to catch one, but it was too small to keep. The nephew-in-law ended up hooking a nasty-looking horseshoe crab. OMG, I've never seen something so bizarre in my life. It looked like a soldier's helmet with a tail sticking out of it and gruesome legs and creepy crawlies underneath. Some knew what it was but I had to Google it. Turns out they're not crabs but close kin of the spider family and are used in the medical field! About 75% of their blood is drained before they're put back in the water. The blood is then used to check the safety & sterility of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, prosthetics and other tools. Who knew? OVERALL: No one caught a flounder big enough to keep (minimum size was 18" I believe), but everyone had fun. They also had a voluntary $3.00 pool going for the largest-caught flounder with the winner taking all, no one won nor got their money back LOL.
