About this boat

Reel Addiction stages at the Ocean City Fishing Center on Inlet Isle Lane—West OC logistics with a private rail once you clear the gate. Confirm the slip; do not assume Talbot Street or Bahia.

Operator domain reeladdiction.com covers Ignash bio, reservations, and hull story pages. Site copy has historically noted hull transitions—ask which vessel you are stepping onto this season before you compare marketplace stars.

Traveler themes lean toward long-tenure captain experience, family-friendly tone, and honest gear and sea-state talk. Complaints that show up are usually overnight math surprises or mismatched bay-vs-canyon expectations.

This profile publishes (877) 725-3474 and 12940 Inlet Isle Ln from multi-source operator materials. Match that phone and OCFC address before you trust a review cluster.

Reel Addiction’s strongest differentiator is Capt. Gregory J. Ignash’s local industry role: operator materials describe IGFA certification, former Ocean City Captain’s Association leadership, and offshore-rigging instruction—useful context for anglers who care about the “why” behind the tackle conversation.

The target list runs wider than a summer troll spread—tilefish and striped bass sit beside tunas, marlin, mahi, wahoo, and sharks. Ask which lane fits the actual seasonal window rather than treating the full list as one trip.

Marina & meet-up

Ocean City Fishing Center — 12940 Inlet Isle Lane

West Ocean City’s harbor clusters a heavy share of private charters and canyon sportfish around the Ocean City Fishing Center and neighboring docks. Summer mornings stack fast—treat parking, ice, and gate names like airport timing, not beach time.

GPS pins and roster addresses do not always match the walk your crew uses; confirm the operator’s meet gate, lot, and whether you stage at a charter office versus a named face on the water.

FishingBooker listing

We did not verify a dedicated FishingBooker storefront for Reel Addiction as of 2026-07. Many Ocean City six-packs and head boats still book phone-first or through a marina desk—FishingBooker remains useful to benchmark trip SKUs and seasonal pricing, then confirm this hull on the call.

Trip lengths, rates & before you book

Trip lengths

  • Full-day offshore programs
  • Overnight or extended SKUs when published

Trip types

  • Private canyon and pelagic days out of OCFC
  • Family-minded offshore days when the crew and sea state allow

Rates (confirm before deposit)

Operator site (reeladdiction.com) publishes seasonal rates—confirm fuel, tip, cancel windows, and active hull before you deposit.

Before you book

  • Confirm the active vessel name for your booked date (site has referenced hull changes).
  • Confirm Inlet Isle Lane / OCFC parking and gate language the night before.
  • Read overnight deposit and cancel language twice if that SKU is on the board.
  • Budget mate tip on effort; long canyon days are labor even when the cooler is light.

Trip styles

  • Strong when you want an OCFC meet and a captain with long local institutional memory.
  • Strong when someone on the phone can name the active hull and hours under the invoice.
  • Less ideal if you only need a short bay morning—ask for a different archetype.

Targeted species

Pelagic intent dominates summer programs—tuna and mahi when edges cooperate. Treat any species list as intent for the week you book, not a promise.

Ask what rods run simultaneously and how fish cleaning is handled at OCFC.
