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.

Captain Monty and Mates Joe and Jason were on point, helpful, and so nice! Been on plenty of fishing boats in my lifetime, both party and charter, and the Morning Star is one of the best. No nonsense and gets you on the fish

We always have a great time on the Morning Star. The Morning Star is not a typical party boat. Each angler has plenty of room for a great fishing experience. We had a great day catching seabass. We caught 27 between two of us. The first mate Joe was amazing. He is a hard worker, very personable and helpful. Looking forward to our next trip.

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.
