Captain Hogg treated us to a very great outing. He and his first mate led us to catch more fish than anticipated. He was very flexible with our timing fluctuations. His boat provided plenty of indoor seating and plenty of shade. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

My family and myself had a blast on this trip. Captain Chandler took us straight to the bay and knew exactly where the fish were. My boys were so excited to catch monster fish and the mate JJ was amazing helping them. He knew exactly what to do and how to reel the fish in. We will definitely be back next year for another trip with them!

We had an absolute blast with Captain Hogg and First Mate JJ aboard the Smokin’ Gun II, catching fish after fish in the Chesapeake Bay! The captain and his mate were super friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area and the fishing. We started the day trolling for Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel and we caught a ton of them! We then set out for my target fish, a monster Red Drum. It didn’t take long before I hooked the fish of my dreams! JJ was super helpful with the fight and after about 15 minutes, we got the beast in the boat! We had a fantastic time, and we will definitely be back next year!

Had a great time on a half day charter! Captain and first mate were very welcoming and knowledgeable. We ended up catching bluefish, spade and Spanish mackerel. The first mate was amazing at his job and did his best to keep my 5 yr old involved (it was very hot that day and my kiddo was over everything about an hour in). The first mate even set up a rod for my son so he could catch other species in order to get his junior angler award (which he got!)! Would definitely recommend a trip with Captain Hogg's if you're in the area!!

This was an absolutely amazing experience for 3 very unseasoned, 1 semi seasoned & 1 very seasoned fishermen! We left right at 6:30am for the 1/2 day trip into the Bay. 1st Mate Brett gave us the scoop on the boat (and where the bathroom was) and we headed out of the Harbor and into the Bay! The boat was comfortable with shaded areas inside and they had everything we needed to start catching fish. You could do as little or as much as you wanted to and don’t have to have any fishing experience to have a blast! The best part was when there were fish on all 5 lines at once and Brett & his sidekick Harper went to work coaching us on how to reel them in, netting them and then unhooking them! I never touched bait or a hook! I did kiss a fish though! Then on the ride back in, Brett filleted about 40 blue and spade fish for us, packaged them in ziploc bags and put them in our cooler! I even got some recipes from the Captain and cooked both fish that evening and everyone loved it!!! Found out blue fish can be substituted in crabcakes and wow what a treat especially for someone who is allergic to shellfish!5 star awesome experience! (I would say to take Dramamine the night before and/or morning of to prevent that typical wooziness that can happen way out there!) Thanks Capt Chandler for an awesome experience, we will be back!
