Muddy Creek Adventures
Muddy Creek Adventures
Spend the day with Muddy Creek Adventures and get hooked on fishing in the Croatan, Roanoke and Pamlico Sounds of the Outer Banks. Captain James Craddock will be your guide, offering years of local experience.
These waters are known for Crab, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Bluefish, Flounder, Redfish, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You can expect to jig, bottom fish and occasionally troll on these trips using light tackle.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Also remember to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 24' Carolina Skiff with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials a fishing machine needs.
The Charter covers rod, reels, tackle, and lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Muddy Creek Adventures is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

We had an amazing early morning trip with Muddy Creek Adventures! I took my wife and daughter out to crab and watch dolphins, and the experience could not have been better. The directions to the meeting location were clear, and there was plenty of parking. Our captain was on time and welcoming. The boat—a comfortable center console skiff—had plenty of room for the three of us, and the bean bag chairs were a fantastic touch! We loved that there were several trip options, and the captain was incredibly accommodating in making the morning enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommend Muddy Creek Adventures for a fun, relaxing, and memorable outing on the water!
What a fun trip crabbing. I cannot wait to see y’all again.
i bought this trip online for my husbands birthday. he grew up on an island very similar to these surroundings. we all enjoyed sightseeing and saw a group of dolphins! a huge thank you to our Captain for his relaxed approach to our trip. Made us feel very welcome
i really enjoyed having you all aboard and i would love the oppurtunity to have you all again anytime.
Captain James took us out to pull crab pots and then do some fishing. The crabbing was a lot of fun, and we harvested nearly a bushel of Blue Crabs with only pulling 5 pots. My 14-year-old son was able to get hands on and pull up the pots and empty them into the boat. James was very willing to teach us all aspects of fishing and crabbing in the sound. He has a long family history living and fishing on the water.
I really enjoyed having yall out Alan and I hope to see you all again.
Captain James took me and my two daughters crabbing and fishing. Everyone had a great time and he was great with the kids. I would highly recommend this trip to any family.
I had a blast with you and your daughters Aaron. I would love to gave you all back again anytime.
Captain James was a great guide and 7th generation local fisherman. we pulled 3 dozen crabs and saw a pod of 40-50 dolphins. above and beyond expectation .
I really enjoyed having yall out and would live to see you all again.

What's up, y'all? I'm Captain James Craddock, but you're more than welcome to call me Jamesey Boy or just James. I would love for you to join me for a day on the water Fishing, Crabbing, Sightseeing, Dolphin watching, and more. I am a true native of the area, with 7+ generations of commercial fishing experience and being the fourth-generation captain/guide. I grew up on the water fishing pound nets and crab pots with my dad and even spent a summer on the trawl boat shrimping with my grandfather. All that to say, I love spending the day in the sun, especially on the water around my home. Safety and smiles are the most important things with me on the water.
