    A true “Cooler Buster” experience!

    6hr Bottom fishing Cooler Buster on June 20, 2026 • 5 adults

    We had an absolutely fantastic trip with Captain Guion! We booked the “Cooler Buster” trip, and it definitely lived up to its name. We caught over 20 fish and filled the cooler! Captain Guion was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. When I started feeling a little seasick, he was incredibly accommodating and even let me ride in the captain’s seat for the ride back. He provided bottled water, helped filet our fish at the end of the day, and never made us feel rushed. One of the highlights of the trip was spotting a pod of dolphins on the ride back. Captain Guion slowed down so we could enjoy the moment, which was such a special touch and made the experience even more memorable. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. We had an amazing day on the water, caught plenty of fish, and made some great memories. We will absolutely be booking with Captain Guion again. Highly recommend!

    Great day fishing

    2 Hour Family Kids Trip on June 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    My family and had a wonderful time fishing with Captain Guion. My girls reeled in a lot of fish and Captain Guiom was just as excited for them. I caught a really nice flounder and you would have thought he caught. Captain Guion made the day for the novice fishermen that we are. I would love to go back and do a deep sea fishing outing with him.

    “Highlight of Our Trip – Kids and Parents Loved It”

    2 Hour Family Kids Trip on August 28, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an amazing kids’ fishing tour! The guide was fantastic – he took care of everything and made sure we always felt safe. He really knew how to make it fun for the kids, and even my wife, who was a bit skeptical at first, ended up having a great time fishing. It was supposed to be a catch-and-release trip, but we landed a big triggerfish. Our guide expertly filleted it, and we turned it into fresh ceviche – absolutely delicious! This was such a cool and memorable experience. We’d do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I was born a fisherman. Born and raised in South Eastern NC. My backyard was always water. I Bass fished golf course ponds as a youngster, and fished inshore, nearshore, and offshore with my dad and grandfather. Fishing is in my blood. The outdoors is my office. I love sharing all I have learned throughout my life with all of the folks that come to visit South Eastern NC. I am an adventure charter. Although fishing is a big part of my charter, we also have a lot of customers who enjoy the tidal pool excursions with their kids. Clamming and crabbing the back creeks around Wrightsville Beach, or shell walks along our uninhabited barrier islands that we are blessed to have. As a North Carolinian, a husband of 17 years, and a father of 3 boys, I promise to take the utmost care of you and your family and treat you all as an extended part of mine! Hope to see you soon.
