Had a good trip would have like to have caught more fish. Captain tried

We had a great day on the water caught a lot of different types of fish. Captain Caylin was knowledgeable and was great working with my son. I would definitely book again.

Overall we have had better experiences. Our first reservation was cancelled 2 weeks before our trip from quite a distance. We booked another boat and captain that was more expensive and longer excursion. We caught some bait fish at the beginning but caught no fish in 6 hours. We didn’t know if we used the wrong bait or wrong spots. For the price we felt like some kind of discount was probably realistic for catching no fish. Also, the captain only took cash or Venmo which fortunately I had although the site said we could use Visa or Mastercard. It was very disappointing for my teenage son who had been looking forward to this trip for months!

Good trip, fishing not so great.

I have fished this spot on the Roanoke for both shad and Rockfish for over 30 years. I have had great days and then some like we had yesterday. Good news is we caught 1 shad, and it was by the one in our group who had never even seen a shad in his life. Kind of made the trip! That day was the ONLY day we could go on this trip and we tried even though the conditions did not look promising.
River had risen 10 feet overnight so visibility was poor with a lot of mud and debris, current was strong, and temperature was in the 30’s.
Captain Burrell, in my opinion, did everything right. We fished all the good spots in the main river channel, the little river, and even above the falls where the water levels were lower but the rocks are treacherous and you really have to know the river to avoid damage to your motor.
I recommend Captain Burrell and I would like to give him another shot when the striped bass are back in Weldon.

The weather, the boat, the Captain and the cooperative fish made for a memorable day for the three of us.  Captain Caylin put us on the fish within 30 minutes of leaving the dock.  The action was consistent and the cooler had plenty of tasty black drum.  We continued our hunt for different species.  Live shrimp made for lots tugs and bait stealing pin fish.  A stop on the way back for fresh shrimp at the market and we were grateful Captain cleaned our catch.  Wonderful scenic fishery.
