    Fun for all ages…..

    Family Fun Charter on June 12, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    I booked this 2 hour fishing trip for my son and family. Captain Sam Bell contacted me right away to go over the trip details. Captain Sam is a great teacher, guide, and has great communication skills. The boat ride was very calm and enjoyable. My son enjoyed fishing off the boat. He also liked the stop at island. We caught 2 fish and 2 hermit crabs. I would definitely recommend Captain Sam and this trip if you are just wanting to try out fishing in the sea.

    Fish in the boat!

    Half Day Fishing (AM) on June 22, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Sam was great! He put us on bluefish right away and caught a couple dozen in about an hour. We then motored around the sound looking for Red Drum but no luck. That’s fishing! We did see a sea turtle which was pretty cool. We had a great morning trip overall. I would highly recommend Captain Sam for anyone looking to do a fishing trip out of Avon, NC.

    Half Day Fishing (AM) on July 25, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Sam was so great! He even rescheduled our charter when the weather was rainy and too windy on our original scheduled day. We caught a large sized Blue fish and a large Red drum fish! Sam is very knowledgeable about the area and was motivated to ensure we had a successful adventure!

    Captain Sam was aewsome!

    Half Day Fishing (AM) on April 2, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had a great half day trip! Sam was amazing with communication before hand with any questions we had. He was flexible with our start time and had us on the fish almost immediately! Everyone caught multiple blues! Too many to eat so we tossed a lot back. Sam filleted the fish after our trip so we can try them for dinner! All in all, and great experience for myself, my husband and our kids!

    Half Day Fishing (AM) on July 30, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 children

    I booked a fishing charter with Captain Sam for my 14 year old son Sam who’s been dying to catch fish on our vacations. The family tagged along (12 & 10 yr old sisters, Mom & Dad) and everyone had a great experience! Captain Sam was awesome, he knew where to go, what to do and got us on fish right away. I highly recommend booking with Tightlinz Charter!

    Nice 1/2 Day

    Half Day Fishing (AM) on June 2, 2025 • 5 adults

    While we hit a slow day, we still caught a few to bring home for a mess. Totally not Sam’s fault, the fish just weren’t cooperating. Was a fun day just the same. Sam was very personable, has clean boat with easy access. Would recommend.

    Half Day Fishing (AM) on April 15, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt Sam was very nice and put us on the bluefish. We caught more than enough for dinner and had a great fish fry that evening. He was knowledgeable about the area and answered all of our questions.

Capt. Sam runs trips out of Avon aboard a 25' Parker. These waters are known for Redfish and Speckled Trout and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or popping. With a vast 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!
