Join Captain Monty Hawkins aboard The Party Boat that Fishes Like a Private Charter! That’s right–because the Morning Star “sells out” at 25 anglers for sea bass there’s plenty of room at the rail for all anglers! Each Reservation has a well-marked and numbered place at the rail that YOU can choose from when booking.
Captain Monty specializes in precision fishing of the natural, shipwreck and artificial reefs off the coast of Maryland. Sea bass, easily one of the tastiest fish in the sea, are targeted in late Spring and early Fall – sometimes in late January and February too.
Summer flounder, aka “fluke,” mix with sea bass on the reefs in July and August–even into the Fall. Other reef species are targeted in their time too. Winter tautog trips are a specialty wuith several state records being set, while blueline/golden tilefish trips are occassionally scheduled as well.

Definitely not your normal head boat experience. Much more private, and plenty of room on the rail. Much more relaxed. These things allow you to spend more time in the water where the fish are. No more shoulder to shoulder and tangled lines. Mates are fast and efficient, combine that with a light rail, and the mates are lightning fast. You won't have to wait on a mate on the Morning Star. Capt. Monty is great at what he does, and puts it all together for an excellent party boat experience.

I fished with Capt. Monty about 35 years ago when he was the 1st mate on the Angler. I think the captain's name was Dan. I can't remember, but I definitely remember Monty. We had a blast !
We caught 3, 8-9 ft. Tiger sharks or Sand Tigers on a 4th of July weekend, on the Angler. My name is Chuck Kraft. Great memories !
I subscribed to your page. I heard you left OC and went south. I'll be down Labor Day weekend. I'll stop by to say hi.
Sorry about such a long response.
I'll see you in August.

I've been out with Capt Monty and his crew several times this year. Highly recommend getting on board this boat. Capt Monty will put you on the fish. Only Capt I know that is working very hard to make artificial reefs , which is what is needed to sustain a strong fishery . While he will occasionally whale watch, that time is made up to his clients on board. If you catch different species of fish and have them cleaned by the mates just ask to have them bagged separately. Very helpful Capt and crew.
