"I have been fishing on the Chesapeake Bay since I was 10 years old. I have always enjoyed all that our Bay has to offer and truly enjoy experiencing charters with my customers." Capt. Donald is a lifelong fishing fanatic, and decided to turn his passion into a career when he became a captain in 2003. His favorite part of the job? Being out on the water, introducing guests to these fantastic fishing grounds! As well as running his charter company, he also loves taking part in fishing tournaments for fun.
