We learned a lot

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on May 25, 2026 • 3 adults

The weather was not optimal for catching fish. It had rained pretty heavy right before we went out. Ian tried his best to put us on some fish but nothing was biting. We caught a couple croakers and one small flounder. What we learned was invaluable. We improved our casting abilities. Learned what to look for to find fish. I would definitely book with Ian again. Thanks for a great time

Great 1st fishing trip!

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on March 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

It was our son's birthday wish to go fishing and we had the best time with Captain Ian! He was so patient and knowledgeable. He adjusted our trip time because of unfavorable weather and it worked out perfectly! We caught some red fish and a black drum...which he filleted and it was delicious. We saw a giant gator and got close enough to take some good pictures! At the he took us to Bear Island and got to explore. Thank you Captain Ian for a memorable trip! My sons can't wait to fish again!

Great time and Captain Ian has a wealth of knowledge

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on June 3, 2026 • 3 adults

Three of us went out.  14M and 13M and had a wonderful time catching fish. The boat ride out to his spots was refreshing and set the pace for a great day. Ian knew what he was doing, understood the way the tide and winds affect catching and moved around to different spots to put us all on the fish every time.

Excellent Day on the Water!

Full Day Trip – With Extras on April 16, 2026 • 2 adults

Ian is a top notch Captain!   He is very knowledgeable of the Carolina waters and an excellent host.   He is a true fish whisperer!  He put us on fish nearly every stop.   Our arms were sore by the end of the day.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 👍
