jackAiIconJack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Greg Allman consistently delivers exceptional Chesapeake Bay fishing experiences, with customers regularly catching keeper cobia, trophy red drum, Spanish mackerel, and bluefish. His expertise in sight casting for cobia stands out, with trips spotting 20-25 cobia and successful catches of fish over 40 inches, including impressive 49-inch specimens. Greg provides all necessary equipment including fishing licenses for out-of-state visitors, and his spacious boat features air conditioning that proves invaluable during hot summer days. Customers consistently praise Greg's patient, friendly demeanor and educational approach that works perfectly for families with children and novice anglers. His first mate team, particularly Joe and Joseph, receives outstanding reviews for their knowledge and likable personalities. Even when weather conditions turn challenging with rough seas, Greg and his crew maintain positive attitudes that make trips enjoyable regardless of catch results. Families return year after year, with many already booking future stripper fishing trips and recommending Greg to other anglers.

On our morning fishing trip, we had a great time! Our boys had a great time catching mackerel and blue fish and relaxing on the boat with their grandparents. Greg and Mike were both wonderful with our boys. Thank you for an unforgettable experience

My guys all raved about how fantastic the trip was! The weather was foul and the seas were rough, but Captain Greg and his first mate came through! The guys said the trip would have been enjoyable even if they hadn't caught Cobia because of how great the crew was! I can't thank you and your first mate enough!

It could not have been a better day or crew. We had a great time. We've already made plans to go striper fishing with the crew in December, and we can't wait.

Captain Allman and Mate Joseph were outstanding. The boat was very comfortable, with air conditioning, which was very useful in the 90+ degree heat. They went sight fishing for Cobia. We trolled for Spanish Mackerel and jigged over a wreck to catch them. In a half-day trip, we caught two Cobia that were over 40 inches long and nine mackerel. They were extremely helpful and dedicated to the charter's success. Captain Allman's experience with his boat made landing the Cobia a breeze. Joseph was amazing and one of the most likable people you'll ever meet. We had a fantastic time and would charter with Captain Allman again.

On Earning Stripes, four of us went out with Greg and Joe. We had a fantastic time!! We didn't have to go too far out to find fish because we had to return to the marina to drop off a couple seasick guys. Greg returned without hesitation and was very understanding. When we returned, we caught our limit of Cobia, a 36-inch and a 49-inch. I had a great time and will definitely book again!!

Wonderful experience with a great captain and a very nice boat. Not only did he make us feel at ease, but he also put us on the fish despite the poor conditions. Thanks for the trip!

The captain and first mate were excellent; the boat was excellent; they worked hard to keep us on the fish all day and were not eager to end our trip. I would gladly go out with this crew and boat again. We had a fantastic time.

My wife and I had a fantastic time on the boat with Captain Greg and First Mate Joseph. Great boat, great crew — genuine watermen fishermen with exceptional fishing abilities and a laid-back demeanor. We had a great time telling fishing stories while waiting for the bite. We caught a trophy Red and a keeper Cobia after a long wait! I highly recommend it!
