    Captain knows his stuff

    Half Day Trip - AM on August 5, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Chadwick was an amazing captain for our group of 3 (2 children). We caught live bait very quickly and he put us on the fish within 30 minutes of leaving the dock. He is very patient with the children, and kept us well-baited. His boat is very well equipped, and didn't feel too camped. I expect most excursions will be inshore; don't expect to be trolling for Marlin.

    Capt Chadwick was awesome !! We had the best time, caught lots of fish and learned a lot. Chadwick was very knowledgeable made us all very comfortable, his boat was spotless with top of the line gear. He was prepared and kept us fishing every minute we were on the water. I highly recommend South End Anglers with Captain Chadwick.

    Great trip!

    Half Day Trip - PM on September 5, 2025 • 3 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.

    Half Day Trip - AM on June 27, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    This was our second trip and we had such a different experience! We did a few different types of fishing styles and had such a great time! Captain got my young son engaged cleaning up while my husband and I had some time to fish! We hooked a shark, broke the line but we did get to see it, caught a few rays, some speckled trout and a flounder! Family friendly for sure highly recommend! Captain is super knowledgeable and was happy to answer my son’s 100000 questions.

    Cap. Chadwick was great! He knows the waters and knows fishing. My buddy and I brought our two young children and they had a great time between catching Shark and 25-30lb Amber Jack! I would recommend South End anglers to anyone looking for a great day on the water!

    Half Day Trip - PM on June 24, 2025 • 4 adults

    Went out with my youngest son and a friend and Capt. Chadwick put us on the fish very quickly. Fill the cooler with Spanish mackerel and then enjoyed jigging live minnows on the bottom at a nearby reef catching all kinds of fish. GREAT trip! Highly recommended!!!

    Captain Chadwick was outstanding. He was super nice and did a great job navigating through the water. He knew the best spots to fish and even allowed us to go out farther than planned. I was extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend Captain Chadwick.

    June 3/4 day trip inshore

    3/4 Day Trip - AM on June 13, 2024 • 4 adults

    Had a great day on the water with Capt Chadwick. Even with the stiff E wind that Capt said would make it tough he made it work. We caught nice fish in multiple spots. The tackle we used was very high quality. Chadwick was extremely professional also shared some cool stories of his long career guiding. We caught redfish, trout, flounder and bluefish on a mix of artificial lures and bait.

What a great day on the water...
3/4 Day Trip - AM on July 28, 2026 • 3 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!

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.
