Decided at the last minute to try and book something for my son and I. Luckily captain Ryan was available. He was great and we had a great time. Catching stripers in shallow water is a blast, and it's great to actually use techniques and really do some fishing. We will be back

Captain Jeff has jumped into the blue catfish scene full throttle. He's made it a prime objective to target the Chesapeake Bay's most evasive species. He know where to find them and what it takes to get them in the boat!

We booked a trip to catch striper or what some people call rockfish. Within 20 minutes of going out we were catching fish. We caught our limit and continue to catch fish for 4 1/2 hours. Only takes 10 minutes to get to the fishing holes, so you’re spending all your time fishing. Captain Jeff was fantastic. Knew what to do and where to go.  He has the right lures and rigs and the proper electronic equipment. What a great day. You have to do this trip?

Great time! Capt. Ryan & his mate were friendly and knowledgeable. We caught our limit on Stripers and were brought to another spot where we caught a mix of lots of fish. Boat was very clean and comfortable. Will definitely do again when in the area!

First time going out for rockfish. We had an amazing time and limited out super easily and then continued to catch more. Thank you captain Jeff for an amazing trip.

I came across Vista Lady Fish through Fishing Booker. I read some of their reviews and they seemed like a safe bet for an afternoon with my Father-in-law and son. What I actually got far exceeded my expectations. Capt Ryan and Kramer (man I hope I spelled your name right!) were fantastic. You could really tell that they knew what they were doing.

We hooked two rockfish pretty quickly once we started trolling, but then hit a lull. Capt Ryan came back and switched out to of the rigs and set them at different depths. Within a minute, we were back catching rockfish.

After we hit our limit on the rockfish, we decided to go bottom fishing to finish out the trip. We didn't really go fishing, we went catching. They weren't big fish that we were reeling it, but they were non-stop. My father-in-law was waving his rod at the water and catching two fish at a time. I put all that down to the captain knowing the bay and providing a great experience.

Kramer, the mate, was excellent. We spent most of our time with Kramer and he was very entertaining. He also helped my son through catching his first rockfish and was on top of all our catches when we were speed fishing off the bottom.

One thing that I appreciated mostly is that it would seem that Capt Jeff, who I did all of my pre-trip communication with, understood that the fishing was better in the lower part of the bay and passed us off to his son, Capt Ryan. It was a small thing that having two boats allows them to do, but it meant that we were able to go out and catch fish, instead of just being on the water.

I'll definitely go back and would highly recommend that anyone charter a trip with them.

P.S. I didn't even mention the boat, very nice. Cabin seating so that you could rest out of the sun during the trip in and out.

Had a great day fishing on board the Vistalady. Caught lot striper due to Captain Ryan getting us on the fish. Absolutely love the 1st mate. Krammer. He was a very personable and a funny guy. Thanks Krammer taking care of. That was my 10 trip on the Vistalady and looking forward to my 11th trip. Thanks again!!!!

My son and I did a trip with Cpt. Jeff today.  It was fantastic!  Jeff is very friendly with a lot of years of fishing and some great stories.  We’ll definitely be booking again with him.
