Captain Donnie and his First Mate Grayson were amazing and were an absolute pleasure to fish with. They were super welcoming from the moment we arrived and were nice and humble as could be. This was our first time trolling for Spanish Mackerel and my dad and I had a blast. When the fish weren’t biting, Captain Donnie did his darnedest to find the schools and get us in on the action (he was the most frustrated of all of us when they weren’t biting haha). However, the dry spells didn’t last long at all and we ended up with plenty of fresh mackerel to take home - which are great eating by the way! Big thanks again to Captain Donnie and First Mate Grayson for a memorable father-son fishing trip in Carolina Beach.
Welcomed, as we stepped on the dock, Captain Donny was busy catching bait for our trip. A few casts, and 4.6 jokes later we were on our way. Captain Donny had a plan and after some conversation, he reworked it to include some bottom fishing we had requested. We trolled for kings and Atlantic bonita, bottom fished for gag, black sea bass, and others and finished off with some amber jacks. We had plenty of fish to eat and released a bunch for another day. Captain Donny had the marks to target fish and his conservation ethic of ‘lets move to another spot and give this one time to recover’ ensures there will be fish to catch tomorrow! A fantastic trip. We started as customers and ended the day as friends.
What a wonderful day!! Donnie and Jack🏋️ were two of the best guys to hang out with for four hours! We caught six different kinds of fish and we came back with plenty of Spanish mackerel and flounder. They were both very knowledgeable during the entire trip and help us to understand everything about fishing. We would recommend their fishing charter to anybody that’s a novice to an expert! We had a great day and it’s one we will remember for a long time. Plan to book with him every time we’re down in Carolina Beach. Look him up on your next trip down here you will not be disappointed. We had a great time!! Mike and Donna A.🐟🐠🐡🍤🎏
Capt Donnie and First mate Gracyn gave an excellent experience! They were down to Earth, had the expertise and knowledge for a successful trip. They have a great sense of humor, give you their full attention, and you wont regret fishing with them!
Donnie is great; I found his charter to be smooth, friendly, and productive. For going out to the Gulf stream, you can do a lot of productive bottom fishing in 6 hours. His experience really shines in finding the big, most-desired species. cannot recommend more highly
