My son and I were taken on July 15th by Captain Richard on his boat to fish in the Chesapeake Bay with the goal being to catch legal size Rockfish. Instead, we caught only legal size Catfish (about ten) and three undersized Rockfish. My son caught about ten fish with assistance from Captain Richard. My son was very appreciative for the Captain’s fishing lessons, proud of himself for catching that many fish, and elated about experiencing such a memorable trip, After the trip, my son expressed how happy he was for the opportunity to fish with Captain Richard, how much he liked Captain Richard, and how much he appreciated all the Captain had done to make his trip pleasurable. One lesson learned by my son was that one cannot get everything he wants in life. Though one may have all the tools to catch them, large Rockfish are not easy to catch. Once again, we thank Captain Richard for taking us on the trip. He was an excellent skipper, fun to talk with, and very thoughtful about our needs.

A late Father’s Day experience - a chartered fishing trip.  We caught so many fish - 2 at a time on each rod all pulling up together! We didn’t keep them all, but some we even used as bait for a big catch.  It was a great day and we were so happy to give my husband such a nice day doing something he loves and to share that with the boys. 
Our captain Richie Phippin with nauti hooker charters was amazing. He was friendly and knowledgeable, helping our 9yo, answering all of his questions, and taking us all over the bay to try different kinds of bait for different kinds of fish.

Tryed to book a charter the night before ...could not find a captain that would do it until I came across captain Richard and the Nauti hooker. He called me back within 5 min and was able to accommodate my son and I for 6am the next morning. Captain was very personable and really was a expert on everything fishing, boates and even cooking and cleaning fish. It was a very enjoyable day and we caught a ton of fish which included…rock fish, Spanish mackerel and blue fish. My son had a great time and we will definitely will be booking another trip really soon with Captain Richard. He has made a regular customer out of us. I highly recomend his service and charter for anyone that wants to have a great day on the water.

Fishing was a little slow but captain worked very hard to find them still had an awesome time thanks captain
