The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
We took our 5 year old out to fish for the first time. I don't think the fishing was as good as usual, but we still caught a few fish and got to keep one mullet. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable. There were 2 first mates who were very helpful and even filleted our fish at the end. We also got to see dolphins several times!
Just want to thank the crew on #crystaldawnheadboat for being so patient and kind to my girls, playing the best tunes, finding us a shark, blowing up a puffer fish and letting the girls pet it, and the best hotdogs for a good day of fishing on fathers day weekend for my husband and Brother in law ! 10/10 Recommend! 🦈🐟🎣
My husband & I took our 3 teenage boys on the 7am fishing trip, we had a fantastic time! Everyone was super friendly, knowledgeable, the boat ride was great and the views were beautiful. The music was spot on & we caught fish! We'll definitely do it again when we return to the obx.
trip was fun didn’t catch very many fish. What fish were caught were little. Wind was high captain really had to work to keep it straight. Probably would have been better if theee wasnt a storm blowing in.
