It was a busy May for us. This trip was no different than the rest. The fishing has been outstanding and I’m truly grateful for all of you who have trusted me in getting a PB in your lap, and showing you around the lower eastern shore! We were able to fish almost every day in May. Looking forward to June!

This right here is what it’s all about. We absolutely love taking kids out to experience what the bay has to offer. By the end of this trip these boys were calling the shots “dad they are 100 feet to the right on the bottom!” Another fantastic day of bull red fishing.

3 at a time! What a fun month it’s been chasing drum. From chasing these fish in the ocean to back a little closer to home it sure is a blast to watch them do their thing. We will be fishing out of the eastern shore of Virginia for the rest of the summer. Please reach out if you want to come experience these beautiful fish as well as what the beautiful lower slower eastern shore has to offer. I have been reluctant to post pics due to pressure but the fishing has been incredibly good this year and there has been next to 0 boat pressure in the areas we have been fishing. I will be making a post for June and July availability so please reach out if you have any questions regarding a trip! Thanks - Capt Brice O’Malley 443-924-7314

- Private trips are $850

- Walk ons will be $200 per person. With a minimum of 4 passengers to ride.

PM me if you have any questions about tackle etc

May and June are some of best months to get in on drum in the lower bay. I will be running the boat out of the eastern shore of Virginia May through late July this year. Gas prices have gone through the roof but I will be keeping my rates the same. We can accommodate parties up to 6 passengers comfortably. Our trips will be 8 hours, noon to dusk. We can target: RED DRUM, SHEEPSHEAD, COBIA, FLOUNDER, BLACKDRUM. Please let me know what combination of species you want to target before your trip so we can accommodate for you. I’m looking forward to some amazing trips. Thank you everyone who supported me last year and made it an epic summer, time to get back in the saddle!

How about this to get the blood flowing? Crazy topwater eat on a huge popper.

Unfortunately the tuna fishing dried up near home for us. And by the time I wanted to do my commercial fishing the quota was filled! So I Decided to take a fun trip down to the promise lands and wow. I’ve had some good trips down here in the past but this was just amazing. Assuming I get all of my paperwork straight, would anyone have interest in chasing giants with me next year down in the outer banks? I can have sleeping arrangements set up, and we will have all gear required to target these fish. Everything down here is XL+ we would be limited based on weather window, but when you can get out it is usually pretty consistent. Safety is my number one priority when fishing anywhere so having a safe fishable day makes for a good day.
