Laura Anne Mitcham•
Tennessee, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFun on the water:
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenTook my three grandchildren fishing with Capt. Ryan and had a great time. We first caught our bate and then tried to catch bigger fish. Although we didn’t catch much we had a great time trying. Sting rays showed up the last hour and put up a good fight to get them in the boat, the only way you can count the catch we learned! Great day in the OBX.

Half Day Trip on August 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenMy family has been out charter fishing before and we wanted to share the experience with my nephews and their dad. We had a great time catching croaker to start and then spent the rest of the time catching mullet, blue fish, a red drum, and rays for days! Ryan was great with the kids and all the equipment and boat were great too!

Half Day Trip on June 11, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Ryan was a whole vibe. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was funny. 3 out of 4 caught stingrays…1 person in the group had 2 fish but the line broke both times and the fish got away. We would definitely book this fishing trip again in the future.
