What a great day on the water...
3/4 Day Trip - AM on July 28, 20263 adults

Captain Chadwick got us on fish right away. He put us on grouper and had first fish about a minute after we dropped lines for the first time. We kept bringing fish aboard the whole trip. Grouper, sea bass, triggerfish, American red snapper, and the cobia. The fishing was exciting and a rush... We will use Capt. Chadwick next time we are down here. Thank you for a great trip!

Fish were a little hard to find due to weather/water conditions but the Captain took us to several spots and made sure we caught some fish. Boat/equipment great/no issues. The Captain was very friendly, patient and knowledgable. I would definetly recommend this Charter and will look him up next time I’m in the area.

Great trip!
Half Day Trip - PM on September 5, 20253 adults

Captain Chadwick had us in fish the whole trip. After a quick run to net baitfish, we ran through the inlet to the oven and were pulling in flounder as soon as we got to our spot. He was great with my 17 year old son and got him on a big cobia that wore him out from the fight of that fish. My son will ever forget it.

Reported catch:
Cobia
Black Seabass

Nice trip, Chad will put you on fish!
3/4 Day Trip - AM on August 4, 20253 adults

A cold front blew in right before the trip and kind of slowed the fishing down, but Chad still found the fish. We took home enough for supper, and caught some really pretty speckled trout and huge flounder.

Captain Chadwick has dedicated his entire professional career to the sportfishing industry. Fresh out of high school he began guiding fisherman in the streams around his home, the Shenandoah Valley. The passion led him west to Montana for a few seasons and ultimately the voyage continued north. Spending the next 10 seasons in the Bristol Bay region of south-west Alaska, he honed his teaching skills on some of the finest Salmon, Char, and Trout rivers. The dream of guiding year-round first became a reality in 2006. The waters of Alaska and Patagonia made up for over 300 days on the water. Saltwater fishing pursuits were always how this veteran Trout guide spent his time during the 'shoulders' of other seasons. The coast of North Carolina always called to him: his favorite destination ultimately became home, and Topsail Island, NC marks the center of the fishing grounds.
