What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! I had the pleasure of taking Dennis out for a half-day trip this spring with Reel Obsession Fishing Charters II. We set off from Cedar Point, NC in the late afternoon under clear skies - perfect conditions for our adventure. The water was calling our names as we headed out, ready to see what Cedar Point had in store for us. It's always a treat to fish these waters, and today was shaping up to be no exception.

We tried a mix of techniques throughout our trip - bottom fishing, trolling, and even some surf casting to cover all our bases. Cedar Point is known for its variety, so I like to keep options open. Our persistence paid off when Dennis hooked into a nice redfish. After a good fight, we brought it aboard - a solid 13-incher. Not bad at all for a half-day run! We kept at it, working different areas and techniques. Even when the fish weren't biting, the clear conditions made for a beautiful afternoon on the water.

Our day with Ryan was absolutely amazing!! He completely saved our weekend after our last-minute cancelled trip, accommodating us with such generosity. His knowledge of the area was outstanding, and he knew all the best spots to visit! It turned out to be a wonderfully relaxing and beautiful day on the water. We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic trip and highly recommend him to everyone!

Captain Dolph was personable and easy to fish with. My wife and I caught dinner and released an awesome sea trout. We enjoyed the knowledge, company, and scenery. My only advice is to hold on to the boat when he gets a going!
