Meet Captain Alvin Auringer

Captain Alvin Auringer, known locally as Captain Frog, is the heart behind Reel M N Fishing Charters in Chesapeake Bay. His love for the water started at a young age, growing up surrounded by family members who lived right on the water. By the time he was just 8 years old, he had his first boat and was already learning the ins and outs of fishing. That early connection shaped a lifelong passion, and today, being on the water is still his favorite place to be. He takes pride in sharing that experience with others, especially families and kids who are just getting started.

As a dedicated Chesapeake Bay fishing guide, Captain Alvin brings years of hands-on experience fishing the Potomac River and surrounding waters. His deep understanding of local conditions, tides, and seasonal patterns makes him a reliable choice for anyone looking for a productive trip. Safety is always a top priority, and every trip is run with attention to detail to ensure guests feel comfortable and confident onboard. Known for his patience and easygoing approach, he is especially great with beginners, making Reel M N one of the most family-friendly fishing charters in Chesapeake Bay.

What truly sets Captain Alvin apart is his ability to connect with people. He is not just focused on fishing—he is focused on creating meaningful time on the water. One of his most memorable trips involved taking a single mom and her kids out, where their excitement and smiles made the entire day special. That kind of experience is what drives him to keep guiding. His calm teaching style, local knowledge, and genuine care for his guests make every trip feel personal and rewarding.
