Fishing with Jed
5/5
It was a slow day for fishing, but not for lack of trying on Jed’s part. He took us to half a dozen locations and we fished different ways and ended up catching a trout at the end. It was a good trip, really friendly guide with excellent knowledge of the area.

Captain John and his daughter were amazing on our trip. They know where the big fish live in the Outer Banks! Wish we could have caught more fish but just another chance to book another trip! Definitely do business with Captain John, you'll have a great time!
