ABOUT US

MEET CAPTAIN BRUCE

My passion for fishing started as a youngster, commercial fishing with my grandfather. We fished for lobster & sea bass, crabbing, gill netting and long-lining for tuna/swordfish. My father gave me the rod & reel "bug" taking me every chance he had for trout, flounder, drum and bass.
**Some of my accomplishments include:**
Qualifying for 4 national BASS fishing championships (coming only 10 ounces from the Bass Master Classic!)
Holding a USCG Master Captain 100-ton endorsement
Earning charter licenses for both Delaware and Maryland
My expertise is in precision structure fishing for flounder but I also pursue striped bass, drum, sea bass, spanish mackeral, tuna and mahi. I enjoy crabbing and clamming which my granddaughters love! And on "bad wind" days I hand tie a variety of jigs and rigs that are proven fish catchers – shop them here!
With Bad Wind charters I enjoy pursuing my passion of spending time on the water and meeting great folks. My expectation is to show you a great time on the water and exchange knowledge, experiences and laughs.
