Fishing Half Day Inshore PM on April 13, 2025
Luke is an excellent guide and knows the inshore and just offshore areas like no one else. He was able to quickly get us to productive fishing areas that no other guides/boats could. Luke knew where the fish were likely to be and when to move to different locations based on changing conditions. The boat is fast and well suited for the marshes and ocean/bay during calm conditions. The boat offers comfortable seating for 3, but is completely open and not for the faint of heart. We caught many Reds during our 4 hour trip and would highly recommend Luke if you are interested in catching some strong fighting fish on light tackle. We will definitely be back again!

Fishing Half Day Inshore AM on July 11, 2025
We had a blast with The Marsh Man and Blankely! The scenery was beautiful! We got to do a lot of fishing and caught some interesting fish! We learned a lot about the area! We got to see some dolphins super close to the boat! He was very patient with my kids and made the morning so enjoyable! We will definitely book with him again!

What an absolute blast
Fishing Half Day Inshore PM on June 4, 2025
This was my first ever guide service, along with my group, and we had an absolute blast. He knew of all the good spots to get us right where we need to be. He answered any questions we had about any wildlife the group had and was a really great captain. Definitely will recommend and do this again.

I have been fishing my whole life. While stationed on Camp Lejeune as a Marine, I fell in love with the area and the saltwater fish in it. I have been fishing these waters since 2010 and am looking forward to sharing all the knowledge I have gained.
