    Best trip ever!

    6 Hour Trip Inshore fishing (AM) on September 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Although we were unable to keep any of our fish, all caught were too big, this couldn't have been a better trip! Between the two of us we caught 15 drums and 2 blues, some of the largest ive ever caught. Andrew and his father in law were knowledgeable about the areas bait, and best times to take the trip We'll definitely recommend and utilize Andrew agin!

    One my best days fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing (AM) on April 10, 2026 • 3 adults

    Andrew was great. He put together a father and son trip we both remember forever. Very informative, learned a lot, and fished for different fish doing different styles. My son even bird’s nested the reel and he acted as if it was no big deal and patiently fixed it, most importantly, he didn’t make my son feel bad. I will be booking with him in the future.

    Good experience. Recomended.

    4 Hour Trip –Eco Tour/Light Fishing on July 4, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Andrew was very knowledgeable and patient. It was rather slow fishing day but certainly he did his best so we could catch some fish. We ended up catching 2 keeper red drums and two nice sheepshead. Captain even offered an extra hour on the water which paid back with a red drum. We were provided equipment, bait and water, kept our catch, got it cleaned... what else do you need.. Thank you Captain, see you in the future.

    Successful Day…

    6 Hour Trip Inshore fishing (AM) on September 23, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Andrew was great! He was knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. The boat was perfect for the type of fishing we were doing and the 150 Hp Yamaha performed well. My wife and I caught 7 Blues, 3 Sheep’shead, and 1 Spanish mackerel, and lots of rock bass we returned to the water. Andrew cleaned and bagged our catch at the finish of our day. We didn’t catch a lot of fish or any big fish, but he did everything possible to put us on fish! It is called fishing, not catching- right?😊

    Fun with Captain Andrew

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing (AM) on April 13, 2025

    Andrew did a great job of showing us the area and explaining the fishing and we had a great time. I would recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a down to earth guy with a passion for success on the water.

    Awesome Trip!

    For Aaron on June 16, 2026 • 6 adults

    Our trip with Capt Andrew was great. His communication before the trip was excellent. He recommended going out in the ocean vs inshore based on recent success. He was very knowledgable and easy going. Genuinly wanted us to catch fish and tried many different areas and methods. We eneded up catching a few and overall had a great time. Highly recommend!

    Half Day Trip with Captain Andrew

    6 Hour Trip Inshore fishing (AM) on April 19, 2025

    Full Disclosure - Captain Andrew is my son. Andrew has been an avid fisherman ever since he learned to walk. Other than the four years when he played D-1 Football in college he has been on their water every chance he gets. You would be hard pressed to find someone with more varied experience. Geographically he has fished in the Bahamas, in the Gulf of America and inshore and offshore North Carolina from Swansboro to Manteo. He knows how to target every species of fish and he knows what is running. He loves seeing the enjoyment his clients get out of reeling in fish and they normally return to the dock with a cooler full. I have fished with other guides and they were good too but I never had the success that I have had with Captain Andrew. He is in high demand so if you see a date agreeable to your schedule book it before someone else does. Suggestion - ask about his night trips. Few guides do those but Andrew does them and night time fishing is frequently some of the best fishing.

    Little Tunny (False Albacore)
    Great day of chasing albacore with a little bit of meat mixed in. Managed to find a couple groups of fish away from the crowd before a couple people saw me and another boat working birds and the crowd of 15 boats came in short order. I’m not a fan of fishing with crowds so went off in search of more fish (which seems impossible to most) and it paid off and we had all the shots we wanted to ourselves. Spent half the day catching meat and half the day chasing albacore, great fishing!

    Great 3 days with Matthew and crew! Spent the first afternoon catching 60-70 trout with a few keepers in the mix, the day after chasing albacore (which was pretty slow for us in a steady 20 NE wind) and the last day fishing some live bottom nearshore catching lots of flounder, gray trout, gags, and some keeper speckled trout we released to get bigger along with other species. The warm spell slowed the fishing down a bit, but with more cold fronts on the way fall fishing should get right back on track.

    Little behind on posts per usual, but the common theme has been dink trout. Catching over 50 per trip with a handful of keepers mixed in. Pictures from this trip included 1 keeper, trip from today we had 4 keepers and caught over 50. When the water drops another 5-8 degrees it’s going to get real fun in our area!

    Got to take my wife out for the first time since we had the baby a month ago. All you could want and some out there.. drag screaming little torpedos out there in big schools. Running and gunning for these guys is definitely an awesome way to get em. I like to call it combat fishing ?. Fun fun fun fall fishing out of our area right now!
  • A family group poses proudly beside a catch of various fish displayed neatly on a dock after a successful fishing trip.

    Fun day sight casting Spanish in 2-5 feet of water! Watching them blow up glass minnows in shallow water is a pretty fun way to catch em’. I don’t like to troll for Spanish on my boat you’ve got to work for them and feel them steal the lure out of your hands! Ran across a school of at least 5,000 pounds of jumping mullet on the way home so threw the net for them to get a grilled mullet experience aswell!

    I am severely behind on posts! Had 6 drum trips in the past two weeks and had great success in all but one where we had a tough bite in the morning. Fishing is good! Lots of fun is being had! These fish won’t be around much longer though, definitely my favorite time of year for the little boat!

    There weren’t really any pictures to take from this flounder trip with my brother and I unfortunately. Culled through our limit with two really nice fish in about an hour and back to the ramp. Come take advantage of the short window with these heavily depleted exotic species! It is weird whenever I fish for these they don’t seem that depleted!
