Andy Ennis, Captain at Old North State Fishing

Once we meet, we will shove off to one of my secret fishing spots in search of fish to put in the cooler. Once we've caught enough for the cooler we can set out for some fun fishing. I like to target Red drum and Rockfish as they pull like a freight train. If youre not interested in keeping fish we will move around and see just how many species we can catch!

October 22, 2025

This was our (my wife , 16 and 18 yr old sons)second year in a row with Captain Andy. He is a fantastic. We all caught fish, learned a lot, and laughed the whole time.  Definitely our families favorite fishing trip.

October 22, 2025

Where to start… Captain Andy was outstanding from the very beginning. He had us out early catching our own live bait, which turned into some fun bonus catches like a puffer fish and a pompano—both safely released. Once we moved to the main spot, he quickly put us on the fish, and we maxed out on Spotted Trout! Mom even caught two over 21 inches that had to go back. My son hooked a stingray, too, adding to the excitement. Captain Andy was knowledgeable, patient, and fully prepared. It was a fun, memorable day on the water for the whole family!

October 22, 2025

Captain Andy kept us informed about the weather right up until our trip, and my boys had an incredible day on the water. He provided all the gear they needed and even found safe shelter under a bridge during a quick storm. Most importantly, he gave my son unforgettable memories with his dad. Seeing their smiles after the trip was absolutely priceless. Thank you, Captain Andy Ennis!

October 22, 2025

Captain Andy gave my two boys and me an amazing fishing experience. He kept us actively involved throughout the trip, was friendly, and truly cared about making sure we had a great time. We’re already planning to book with him again next year!

October 22, 2025

Andy did an excellent job putting us on fish right from the start! We caught over 10 Trout and three solid Redfish. It was an awesome day on the water, and we’d highly recommend booking a trip with Old North State Fishing Charter!

October 22, 2025

We booked a trip with Captain Andy, and while the bite started off slow, his persistence paid off—we ended up with a cooler full of nice fish, including trout, flounder, and drum. Captain Andy’s knowledge and determination made all the difference. It turned out to be a great morning on the water. Thanks, Captain!
