Kenneth Ey5.0VerifiedGreat Half Day Inshore Fishing
4 Hour PM Inshore Half Day on August 4, 2026 • 3 adultsWe booked a half day afternoon trip. Captain alerted us the day before of potential storms during our trip and asked us if we wanted to shift to the morning. We spent 4hrs trolling and fishing bouys and caught a couple spanish mackerel and a 46” Cobia. Captain Scott worked hard moving us from spot to spot and circling over Cobia spotted from the boat tower. Deckhand Jeffrey was great assisisting us and keeping the mood fun despite the lack of fish activity. We read several fishing reports on line that the fishing over the previous week was slow so our low take was consistent with that and jo fault of the captain. The boat was very clean, gear was in execellent condition and having a cabin with a head was great. Would highly recomend charting with Knott Tell’n!!
Eric Burden5.0VerifiedWent above and beyond!
Inshore 4 Hour Shark Fishing on July 25, 2025 • 6 adultsWe bought this as a birthday gift to my son. He wanted a sports fish trip to mark off his bucket list. We booked a 7AM 4hr trip and it was still a squelching hot day. We got a handful of spanish mackerel that they cleaned and took care of for us. We didn't get anything and was just getting frustrated, we had 2 hrs with just nothing. He kept us out longer to make sure we got something good. My son got to bring in a big Red Drum. They said it was about a 70 year old fish that weighed over 60lbs. My son was super happy with the ending. We were definitely appreciative of the Captain and his mate. They took good care of us, its a nice boat and we were comfortable even in the searing heat. Great experience!
Raymond TuckerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOutstanding charter
6 Hour Inshore Fishing on June 4, 2024 • 6 adults • 2 childrenI can't say enough about how great our outing was with the Captain and First Mate Jeffrey. The first 2 hours were fairly slow with only a couple fish landed (Mackerel and Bonita Tuna) but Jeffrey had told us that been pretty typical with an afternoon bite picking up recently. Like clockwork when it his 12 the rods started lighting up with fish after fish. Our group of 4 was having to get arm breaks when able as we often had 3 lines with bull reds on. We must have landed 25 or more bull reds over the next 3 hours. As the trip was for my nephews graduation I know it left a memory that will last a lifetime.
Gary Gregg5.0VerifiedExcellent !!!!!!!
6 Hour Inshore - Cobia / Red Drum on May 8, 2025 • 4 adultsCaptain Scott and 1st Mate Jeffrey started out catching fish just out of port, when things slowed, we moved 5 miles and we were on the fish again. Once we caught enough to take home we went out a bit deeper and got on to a school of Red Drum. The Captain worked the boat to place us in the best situation possible to catch fish, and his 1st Mate worked the baits and rods. Had a lot of fun, definitely going back for more. Thank you

6 Hour Inshore Fishing on November 16, 2023 • 2 adultsCaptain Scott and First Mate Jeffery were knowledgeable,accommodating,Friendly and put us on fish. My son- in -law and wife who are not fishermen had an extremely enjoyable time. But the highlight of our outing was watching my wife reel in a 50# Black Drum! Captain Scott made one last pass over the same wreck and I reeled in a 45# Black Drum. If your looking for a chapter that runs out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, I would highly recommend booking with Capt Scott at [email protected] ph# 757-409-5526

thank you for the kind review Kenneth. It has definitely been tough fishing on the oceanfront for the past 4 to 5 days and I was extremely happy we were able to get a big fish for your son. Glad y'all enjoyed the trip. Would be great to fish with you again sometime when conditions are a little better.
The captain was great really enjoyed spending time with family.
thank you for the more than kind review Porfirio. Today was slow fishing & rough weather conditions. But glad we discussed this ahead of time and appreciate you guys still wanting to give it a try anyways. It's tough when you come in from out of town and Weather throws a curveball. I hope you may consider us again in the future and will have better luck with the weather! just glad we caught a few fish before it got too rough.

Thank you Eric for the kind review… It was definitely a hot day today with zero breeze at all! We appreciate you guys fishing with us and I wanted more than anything to get a big fish for your son for his birthday. Thank God we were able to get one there near the end. Fishing is very unpredictable. I have been a captain for 16 years & mated on other boats for years before becoming a captain...I also was a charter boat customer for many years & have done hundreds of deep sea offshore 12 hour trips that cost 5x what a 4 hour inshore trip costs & can't tell you how many times we caught nothing all day long! But the few times where we had great days is what keeps you coming back to try again! I'm sorry it was slow for yall for a while today & glad it ended with a big fish but many of the other charter boats out there today never had a chance to get to that school of big fish before they were gone again. It could have easily been us that didn't get there in time. I'm thankful anytime we are lucky enough to be the one catching. There is definitely no guarantees in fishing. Thanks again.
With the recent weather and tough conditions that the tropical storm brought in, Captain Scott and first mate Jeffrey still found a way to deliver and provide the best trip possible for my crew and I. Scott was very communicative leading up to the trip and provided updates and insights on what to expect condition wise. Even with the tough conditions, Scott and Jeffrey still got us on some nice Cobia and mackerel and were able to salvage what they could on an overall great trip with the hand we were dealt. These guys are top notch professionals and we will definitely look to book with them again. Thanks again Scott and Jeffrey.
I really appreciate the kind review Hunter. Thank you for choosing us to fish with. Wish we could have got you guys out a little further and targeted the mahi that I know you were hoping for but I'm glad we were able to find a couple of big fish for you. Would enjoy the chance to fish with you guys again.

Thanks for such a great review Raymond… We really did have an awesome day fishing with you guys… You all did great. we are back out here today and picked right up where we left off yesterday… Hope to see you again in the future!
