    Half Day Trip on May 8, 2026 • 6 adults

    We caught 7 big Blue Catfish, 1 large Channel Catfish, ten White Perch and a three-foot Gar on a partly cloudy, not very windy, early May morning! Our group of 6 had every level of fishing experience - heavily weighted on the first-time fishing side. We had one 72-year-old guy with a lot of freshwater fishing experience. Charles knew the Currituck Sound channels, shoals and hot spots like the back of his hand. He is a great teacher and conversationalist. He made sure all of us got to feel the tug on the line, and the fun of bringing a fish to the net and into the boat. Admirably, he does not over exaggerate. Instead, he diligently works at getting results based on decades of experience. THANK YOU! We highly recommend this group!

    Another Successful Trip

    Half Day Trip on August 4, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Caption Josh is a very experienced guide and will get you on fish! This is my 2nd trip with him and took 3 teens who had never fished today. We landed more than a dozen catfish, as well as perch, croaker, gar, and perch. When fishing would slow in one hole, he immediately got us on fish in another- and another- and another. I highly recommended. Boat and rods are rigged perfectly for us from the get-go.

    Great Fishing Trip!

    Half Day Trip - 10:30 AM on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults

    We’ve done several fishing charters in OBX & the Florida Keys. This charter was our absolute favorite so far. The boat was ideal - clean, spacious, comfortable. The brackish water provided great boating & fishing experience. The captain was great with our boys. We caught plenty of fish. Our boys really enjoyed the fishing (& catching). Highly recommend!

    We had an absolute blast and all my kids caught! Big blue cats, a massive drum and a ton of perch were all on the list and we easily caught 100ibs across the board . Paul is an extremely experienced captain and helped my smaller kids have a fishing memory they wont soon forget.

    Captain Jarred Page was an excellent guide and had a great sense of humor. He is a good ol boy who knows the area well. We caught 30 fish and took them home for a fish fry, wonderful day. FYI you will need a NC fishing license $15.00 online. 100% would recommend.

    Half Day Trip on July 9, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

    We booked the early morning outing and we had Capt Charles “Chuck” as our guide. We caught several perch and a few blue cats. He went to the spot and had us on within moments of the lines hitting the waters! An amazing adventure for the kids and myself!

    Half Day Trip on June 15, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    captain Josh knew where the fish were despite difficult conditions and ran us quite some distance to load up a cooler with white perch and several blue cats. Our 8 year old daughter cranked in the biggest two, one of which was near 18 pounds and had a blast!

    We had a great time fishing with Charles. He was great with my kids, and made sure that we had a good time. He went out of his way to point out all the great sites, and other animals along the way. We would definitely book this again.

Great morning trip.
Half Day Trip on August 3, 2026 • 4 adults

Let me tell you, we had a trip—an absolutely phenomenal trip, nobody has ever seen anything like it. I took three incredible boys out on the water, great boys, future leaders, let me tell you.And Captain Josh? What a guy. Fantastic guy. Highly respected, everybody says so. He treated us so well, absolutely top-notch guy, very nice.We got on his boat, and wow. Beautiful boat. The cleanest boat you’ve ever seen, pristine. And room? So much room. Tremendous amount of room, everybody was saying it.The fishing? Unbelievable. We hooked into some perch, and these weren't regular perch, folks. These were nice size perch, huge, the best perch. And then we caught the blue cats. A half dozen! Six massive blue cats, beautiful fish, very strong.It was a total success, a certified win. Highly recommended!

Half Day Trip - 10:30 AM on June 25, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

Just wrapped up another two fantastic charters with Captain Charles this past week, and he proved yet again why he’s the best. Charles put us right on the fish. We got a steady stream of white perch and catfish, plus an impressive variety of quality catches like sheepshead, speckled trout, bluefish, croaker, spot, and pinfish. We had a great time catching and releasing every single one. If you want a top-tier experience for your crew, do yourself a favor and book with Charles and Josh.
