Half Day Trip (AM) on July 17, 2025
My wife, father-in-law, and myself booked a morning charter while on vacation is Wrightsville. We had an awesome time. Capt. Drew had us on fish throughout the day and had the opportunity to pick his brain about locating fish and bait throughout the trip. I would recommend his charter to anyone from beginner to experienced. Never a bad day on the water, but can’t beat limiting out on slot reds. We boated a wide variety of fish and had our fair share of misses. Would absolutely book another trip with Capt. Drew anytime. Also side note, his boat handles extremely well even in some heavier chop in the sound. Thoroughly impressed.

Captain Drew took my daughter and I on a half day trip. My daughter had very little experience but he was still able to put us on a ton of Red Fish. She’s still talking about the trip 2 later. I will definitely use him again and recommend to everyone

Had a great day on the water. Wanted to present with a fly to tailing reds and got the chance. Drew pushed more than the time we had scheduled to get as much opportunities as possible. Thank you.

Your captain
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
Drew Tyndall was born and raised in Wilmington, North Carolina. Drew has been an avid fisherman since he was a very young boy. Drew's grandfather shared his love of fishing and the outdoors with Drew and they spent many days fishing together. Drew started off fishing inland and was a big bass fisherman for a long time. As he got older, Drew got a taste of inshore and offshore fishing on trips with his grandfather and he was hooked. Drew purchased his own small boat in high school and spent all of his free time fishing. Drew was determined to learn to navigate the sand bars and oyster beds in Fort Fisher and get to the very best fishing spots. Besides fishing, Drew enjoys playing golf and duck hunting. Drew also spent many years playing competitive baseball, including 2 years as a catcher at the D1 level. But, Drew's love for being on the water was strong and ultimately he decided to give up his baseball cleats for Xtratufs! Drew's favorite fish to target is Red Drum. "I love them because they put up a good fight and are just a beautiful fish." Drew has perfected his fish finding skills over the years and loves the challenge of gettng into spots that other boats can't get in to.
