Our Team

Our crew is not only comprised of experienced, native Chesapeake watermen, but also certified practitioners in the Japanese practice of ike jime. We understand the seasonal patterns and the methods necessary to ensure a successful fishing trip on the Bay, but we are also technical experts on the most current ike jime and shinkei jime methods in the world.
