ABOUT US
Our story
Captain Brian Councell was born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. He began hunting and fishing as a young boy, and eventually, that passion turned into a career. Brian has had many mentors over the years, including the most respected watermen and charter captains on the bay. Brian is a full-time captain who fishes and leads fishing excursions all day, every day, which keeps him up to date with the latest location of the fish and how best to catch them. The 2024 season will be his 22nd year in business.
“ I love to watch others catch fish, and to see the excitement they get from it. I genuinely enjoy teaching people everything I know about fishing and about the environment where we fish.”
