Windy Day

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 18, 2025

Wind was howling but still were able to pull in a couple reds, couple rays and few small sharks. Drew was a wonderful guide and tried everything in his power to get us on the fish and answered all of our questions. Definitely would go again if/when we get back to the area. If anyone wondered the red fish tasted wonderful.

Half Day Trip (PM) on June 1, 2025

Captain Drew gave us a great day on the water—patient, skilled, and fun all around. The fish weren’t easy, but he knew where to got us plenty of bites and some fun catches. From bluefish to red drum and even a wild stingray moment, it was unforgettable. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a solid charter—we’ll definitely be back!

AM half day with Capt Drew

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 15, 2025

Had a great morning out with Capt Drew. He’s very knowledgeable about the backwaters and creeks and had me on fish within minutes at our first spot. He’s super easy to get along with and makes the trip a great experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking to fish the backwaters and creeks!

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.
