These windy days have been wild 🌬️
Trying to hold anchor with Geronimo—our 33’ Grady White—is like wrestling a sea monster. But hey, we still manage to get you on the fish. 💪🐟
If you're chasing numbers, there are head boats down south that'll load your cooler and filet your haul—we’re happy to send you their way.
But we’re a little different.
We’re about taking in the sights while getting the bites.
Think skyline views, smooth vibes, and steady action on the rod. 🎣🌇

People think fishing camp is just:
1. Learning to cast a line
2. Sitting quietly waiting for fish
3. A solo activity for introverts

What it actually is:
1. Kids working together to land the big one
2. Making lifelong friends on the water
3. Learning teamwork that translates to everyday life

Let your child reel in new skills and memories this summer! They'll discover the magic of friendship while exploring DC's Potomac. 🎣 🌊

🚨Big news!🚨 Lenny from FishTalk Magazine asked Captain Tim to answer a few questions for their "Ask an Expert" column.
Naturally, Tim's first response was, "I’m no expert—I just started fishing a couple years ago and I still get outsmarted by catfish on the regular."
But Lenny insisted (and probably regretted it halfway through the interview). The result? A full spread in the May edition of FishTalk Magazine featuring Captain Tim dropping just enough wisdom to sound like he knows what he’s doing.
Check it out and see for yourself: is he an expert… or just a guy with a boat and a lot of enthusiasm? (Spoiler: it’s both.)

⚠️ Safety First! ⚠️
We had to reschedule today’s charter due to gale force winds and a ton of debris in the river from last night’s storms. Between the wind and the floating hazards, we made the call to play it safe—and our guests were 100% on board with the decision.

That said, the skies are clearing and next week is looking great! We still have a few open spots, but they’re filling up fast—so don’t wait to lock in your trip.
