    Fish of a Lifetime!!!

    3/4 Day Trip – Cobia/Drum Ocean on June 1, 2022

    "Capt Patches" told me that it was NOT a "sure thing" to catch a Cobia, but he was willing to take me out to let me take a stab at it - and he did not let me down!!! First time ever fishing for Cobia, and Capt patches put some miles on he boat to make sure to get me to where the fish were. The day was perfect - and I landed a 53 lb Cobia, worthy of a certificate from the State of NC for a Cobia over 40 lbs!!

    Morning Trip with Captain Patrick

    Half Day Trip (630AM) on June 13, 2022

    We went out by the Marc Basnight Bridge and fished below it. We caught some Sheepshead fish which were bigger than anything I’ve ever caught before. My friends all got a catch too. When we went back we got to try the fish and they tasted great. It was a really fun experience and the first time I’ve eaten a fish that I caught myself.

    Great trip

    2 Hour Trip – Short n' Sweet on September 4, 2022 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We booked the two hour trip which was perfect for our three small kids. He helped them catch a puffer fish and a stingray so needless to say my boys were thrilled. Perfect little excursion! We will be booking with him again

    Great 6 Hour Trip

    3/4 Day Trip (630AM) on August 3, 2022 • 4 adults

    Captain Patrick went above and beyond helping to set up a last-minute trip. We went after Sea Trout and Red Drum. All had a good time and enjoyed the water, the weather, and the fishing. Thank you Patrick for the great time and the memories.

    We loved our experience so much with Patrick our family took a trip two years in a row! Not only was the fishing excellent- the boat was well maintained and the captain was very helpful and energetic to teach my young son the ropes. I would recommend Reel Lucky Charter to everyone!

    Evening winter trip with Captain Patrick

    Half Day Trip (1PM) on November 27, 2021

    1/2 Day Charter & REELY Lucky in OBX

    Half Day Trip (630AM) on June 6, 2022

    We took a 1/2 day morning charter on Reel Lucky OBX with Captain Patrick at the helm. It was a fantastic experience. There were fish aplenty (everyone caught multiple fish). It’s a beautiful way to experience the Sound side of the OBX, take a break from the beach and do some fishing. Reel Lucky was a great boat, with plenty of room for my family of four. Captain Patrick couldn’t have been more friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable about fishing the area. Captain Patrick was also great with our teens — very encouraging and a great coach. This charter with Reel Lucky OBX was a great experience for our family’s first fishing charter (of course catching a lot of fish helped). I highly recommend Reel Lucky OBX and Captain Patrick for a great fishing experience in the OBX Sound.

    We all enjoyed the experience even though the fish weren’t biting. It was a nice day but the wind wasn’t very helpful.

    Half Day Trip (730AM) on October 19, 2024 • 3 adults

    Fine charter captain, i think he was more disappointed about not us not catching anything but string rays then we were. We plan on meeting up with him again next spring.

    4hour sound fishing

    Half Day Trip (630AM) on August 22, 2022 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain patches took myself my son and my eight-year-old grandson out on the Pimlico sound on a beautiful morning last Thursday. We spent the first hour catching live bait where my grandson actually caught more than 40 Croakers!!! Although we didn’t catch any keepers it was a fantastic day where I learned much about fishing techniques and different types of terminal tackle. I highly recommend this charter as Patches is very very good with children! Hope to see him again next year
