Had a great day out on the water for a 4 hour near shore fishing trip. The captain was a fun guy who my whole family got along great with. We brought home a bag of fish and cooked it the way he recommended and let's just say even my picky 14 year old went back for seconds. Don't let the bad reviews fool you this is a great charter and the captain is cool and down to earth.

Many thanks to Natasha & Jesse! We used them for the 2023 KWLA tournament in Morehead and had a great experience. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated how hard they worked to try and put us on the fish. Would happily use them again.

We had a great half day charter with Capt P. He put us on sheepshead, Spanish, and Red Drum. He knew exactly where to go and quickly skipped over spots that weren’t biting good. Will be fishing with him again in the future.
