A Beach trip MUST - DO
Land Based Shark Fishing on June 9, 20263 adults

Eamonn and Vinny were amazing. They walked us through the whole shark fishing process and were completely hands throughout the entire process. We were able to catch 4 sharks which made my son’s beach trip extra special. As a mom, I gained an amazing memory with my family while also having awesome pictures to remember the experience. This is our second year using this company and we will definitely be using them again next year. I would refer these guys to anyone and I have already done so. If you need a fishing charters, these are your guys!!

Awesome Redfish trip
Half Day inshore on May 19, 20263 adults2 children

the trip was very relaxed, great communication and great captain, who is a good family man. there are plenty of fish schools and the captain can see them from the perch. once the fish hit, you're in a fight with serious ripping and whipping action on the poles. we had 5 lines in the water and every single one got hit. my sin caught a competition size 29 incher which after some pics went back to make more monsters. call, schedule and enjoy your fishing trip.

Already Booking Our Next Trip with Ryan
3/4 Day Inshore on May 26, 20262 adults

Had an awesome time out on the water with Captain Ryan! My buddy and I had a blast and were on the redfish during the trip. Ryan was great to fish with — knowledgeable, laid back, and made the whole experience a damn good time from start to finish. We’d highly recommend booking a trip with him, and we’re already planning our next one. Can’t wait to get back out there!

Excellent Charter
Half Day inshore on October 26, 20255 adults

Captain Ryan was the best . Everyone had a great time, especially while he was cast netting for fresh bait we were catching red fish and teasing him adout it, but he is the most easy going Captain I’ve ever had on a charter. Very knowledgeable about the area and target fish. I would highly recommend Captain Ryan, and will be calling again when in the area, you will not find a better Charter Captain

Capt. Kyle runs trips out of Sneads Ferry aboard a 30' Southport. These waters are known for Mahi_Mahi and Kingfish and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or trolling. With substantial knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water! Captain Ryan runs the 1996 Jones Brothers Bateau: A North Carolina built boat designed to fish our inshore waters. Powered by a 90hp Tohatsu motor this boat will run in skinny waters and while it's a flat bottom boat it offers a comfortable and safe ride in our estuaries. Comfortably fishes 4 clients while offering many different styles of fishing in our area. Depending on the trip, he may run the Pathfinder!
