Captain Zach is the man.
1/2 day Morning Fishing Trip on June 6, 20254 adults

We had a great 4 hour trip with captain Zach. We went down a man early due to motion sickness, and had to run all the way back to the dock to drop him off to buy a Shirley Temple at the restaurant in the marina. We lost some time, but captain Zach still put us on an incredible Spanish mackerel bite - we landed 43 in total! Since we lost some time, Zach stayed out with us beyond our normal time and tried his best to locate some cobia and reds even though we were limited to areas close to shore. Near the end of the trip, Zach spotted a pod of dolphins and raced over to them so that we could get up close and personal with them - they were right next to our boat. We had a phenominal trip, and I will definitely book with him again the next time we hit the OBX. Next time, I'll book a full day trip and we'll get after some monsters off shore :)

Epic Day!
3/4 day fishing trip on March 26, 20254 adults

Our trip by Guide Captain Zach was amazing. We caught trophy size fish for 4 hours straight. My daughter, son and I caught 40+ fish. None were smaller than 30 pounds. Sizes ranged from 35” to 45” inches. And, 3 were 50”! A 50 inch fish is 50 pounds. Zach's boat, gear, and experience is top notch! We will book again!
