Make the most of your time in Seadrift and go fishing with Reef Rat Guide Service. With Captain Michael at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream.

On these trips, it’s common to drift and bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Michael can also take you Flounder gigging.

Trips with Reef Rat Guide Service are fun for all ages, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Capt. Michael welcomes you aboard a 22' Bay boat that can carry up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Reef Rat Guide Service!
