My partner and I hired Owen to show us the ropes when it comes to fishing the Potomac, and we certainly got our money’s worth.  Owen is knowledgeable about fishing and the river, and he’s easy going and enjoyable to talk to.  Moreover, the boat is comfortable, and he came prepared on what turned out to be a chilly evening with extra jackets, blankets, and a heater.  (If you’re going out in hot weather, the boat is equipped with a large canopy.)  As for catching fish, we didn’t go more...

Captain Owen gave us an easy pickup in town and we were on the river and on the fish in no time.  He was great at making the trip really fun for my 10, 9, and 6 year olds - spending some time teaching fishing tips and other time telling the history and stories of the coves and bridges we passed.  My family of five had a great time and caught more fish than we could possibly need, and Capt Owen donated the remainder to charity.  My 10 year old is over the moon at landing a 36 pound, 42 inch...

My son is 8 and I wanted to spend quality time with him. Fishing was a great idea! Captain Owen was prompt and prepared with rods, tackle, and bait to catch catfish off up river in the Potomac. We caught 8 fish in a 4 hour period, mostly 15-24 lbs! We kept the ones that were < 10 lbs and brought it home to eat. He would cast the reels and let my son and I reel them in. He took pictures for us and taught us alot about fishing too. 10/10 would charter again. If you’ve... Meer

My 9-year-old son’s only spring break wish was to go fishing. I’m a total novice, but Captain Owen at Capital Blues made it easy, fun, and unforgettable. He was kind, communicative, and even brought gear so my son—who had a cast on his arm—could reel with his left hand. The boat was ready with multiple rods, the scenery was beautiful, and Captain Owen kept us engaged with cool local history. We caught 11 catfish, including a 14-pounder! My son had an amazing time, and I’m so... Meer

Captain Owen really made this a great fishing experience for me and and family. He had all the equipment and knew exactly where to go to catch fish. We all caught some nice blue cats, several of them over 10 pounds. To have this kind of fishing experience in the shadow of the DC monuments is quite remarkable. Capt. Owen has an impressive knowledge of the rich history of the area, making the trip even more entertaining. We can’t wait to book our next trip. Thank you Captain Owen!
