Mom caught the BIGGEST, and 2 Teenage Boys
Full day inshore on August 10, 20253 adults

Where to start...Captain Andy was stellar right from the beginning. He got us out right away to start catching our own live bait. While doing so we caught bait fish plus a puffer fish and pompano which were thrown back. Once we moved to our fishing location he was able to get us maxed out with Spotted Trout. We had to throw 2 back because Mom caught 2 of them over 21". While fishing my son also snagged a decent size stingray. Captain And was determined to get us maxed out on our catches! He was very knowledgeable and well prepared! Definitely a fun day out!

Great Memories
Full day inshore on June 9, 20252 adults

Captain Andy kept us updated on weather until the day of our trip. My boys had a great day! Captain Andy provided everything they needed for fishing. Provided them with shelter under a bridge during a short storm and he gave my son lasting memories with his father. Seeing the smile on their faces after their fishing trip was priceless!!! Thank you Captain Andy Ennis!!!!

An absolute must with Captain Andy
Half Day Trip (PM) winter on September 11, 20234 adults

First off, Andy made sure our entire family was comfortable and explained everything we would see prior to taking off. We moved out into the water and Andy took us to one of his many hot spots. We caught a fish on the first cast! That started the day off right. Trout after trout over each one of our drifts. Andy was especially kind to my son ( who has special needs ). My son desperately wanted to reel in a red drum, Andy switched baits, moved us around and BOOM red drum. Honestly this trip couldn’t have been any better. Captain Andy is one of the nicest people we have met and my goodness he’s one heck of a fisherman. I HIGHLY recommend coming out with Captain Andy, he can accommodate a self proclaimed professional fisherman or a novice just trying to catch a fish. Something I would also like to note is how reasonable the price is for such a great experience. Poles / Bait / Fish / Music / and pure hospitality is what you will get. We will be visiting Captain Andy much more frequently moving forward. LETS GO!!!

Captain Andy has guided fishing trips part-time over the past 15 years. As of 2021, he made his passion his career. Inshore fishing being his passion, Captain Andy started fishing on the OBX with a friend's boat and had zero equipment, such as sonar, etc. He had to find fish the hard which meant riding around and casting a lot! He's got the fish dialed in now and he prides himself in being a successful fisherman! At Old North State Fishing, they target all inshore species but the captain's favorite is Speckled Trout. Join in for a one-of-a-kind fishing experience today!
