Chasin’ Wake Charters 

Captain Wayne was awesome! We had a tough day battling the red tide, but he never lost confidence that we’d eventually find the fish. He stayed in touch with at least a dozen other guides, and none of them had seen a single cobia all day. Still, Captain Wayne wasn’t about to give up. We covered a lot of water, and in the end, his persistence paid off. He put us right on the cobia, we caught our limit, and had an absolute blast doing it. If you’re looking for a guide who’s willing to put in the work to make your trip a success, Captain Wayne is your guy!

We had a great time fishing with Captain Wayne. We wanted to catch cobia and the captain put us on the fish. It was a beautiful day out on the water and we were able to spot multiple pods of cruising cobia. We hooked into 9 and were able to successfully land 7 of them. The mate and captain did a great job pitching baits to hungry cobia. We doubled up multiple times and the mate worked hard netting the fish. It was a really fun trip and we look forward to fishing with Chasin’ Wake in the future.

I took my family on a sunset trip for a couple of hours and it was a blast! My kids are young, so wanted to make sure the trip wasn’t too long and that we’d catch fish they could handle. Captain Wayne delivered on this and more. He and TJ were great with my kids, which also allowed my wife and I some time to enjoy the sunset and experience. All told I think my kids caught more than I did, and that’s just fine with me. I highly recommend this charter!

overall an unforgetable time! our other charter canceled for storms and i spent hours looking to book something while we were down here. Wayne responded right away and got us in. my first time booking a charter ever and he made me feel re-assured and once we got there everything went so smooth! they are so friendly and helpful! ive never caught anything bigger than rockfish prior to this. they were so nice and taught me so much. we are already planning our next booking!

The trip was an awesome experience! We caught 15 fish in total: 8 red drum, 6 bluefish, and 1 striped bass. Wayne and his mate, Nick, did an excellent job keeping us on the fish all day. The action was consistent, which made the trip a lot of fun. The boat was also very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would definitely book another trip with them in the future!

very personable. Knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Paid attention to my eight-year-old son, kept us chasing fish. Next time we’re in Hampton, we will look him up again. Would recommend for both new, and experienced anglers.

Captain Wayne was super cool. Very welcoming and helpful. I booked for my son and friends as part of a grad celebration. They had a great time and caught a bunch of fish. I recommend this trip and would book again.

this was our first time fishing near the coast and we had a great time! the capitan is super sociable and makes it fun! i would recommend!!

Wayne is a top notch dude had my wife , a nevouse wreck, go from sprawled out on the bow scared to driving the boat from the upper deck in under an hour. thanks wayne look forward to the next trip

Capt Wayne and 1st mate John were very accommodating of my family this past Friday. We had originally booked a sunset/evening fishing trip, but they kept in touch with us and let us know they were arriving back at the dock early if we wanted to get out sooner. The weather had picked up by that afternoon, so we headed out and met up with them early. All three of my boys caught many 🐠 (fish) and had a really great time out on the water. All the tackle and gear was ready to go when we arrived, and feel fortunate we were able to get out there prior to all the bad weather. Bluetooth on the boat was available for us to rock out on, which made the trip even more enjoyable. All in all wouldn't hesitate booking again. Highly recommended.
