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.

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.

Capt. Andrew was great! He was personable and really took his time showing our group how to cast and work the rod. I highly recommend him for all age groups and experience levels!
