Fired Up Charters 

We caught 27 Spanish mackerel during our charter. The ship mate was very knowledgeable and engaged with the kids. They had a blast during the experience. When we were done and they were preparing our catch, we got to see two sea turtles and feed them. Highly recommend, especially if first time out or its a family trip! Thanks again!

Very fun trip, great boat, captain and crew :) We’re Novice fisherwomen at best but we had a freakin awesome time & caught a bunch of Spanish mackeral & had an awesome morning !!!!

We had a great experience with John and Butch trolling for spanish mackerel. They were great with my 6 year old son, incredibly patient and made sure he had a great time.

This was a great trip and even despite some initial rough waters and rain we caught a lot of Spanish mackerel and had a great experience.

Captain John was great to deal with and kept us on the fish. He offers a wealth of knowledge and has very nice boat to fish on. First mate Butch was extremely helpful and made sure the lines stayed in the water. We will definitely be back on board next time we are down.

we took a 4 hour trip and landed fish the entire time it was a great trip for sure!!!

We caught 22 keeper Spanish Mackerel and probably 40 others that were to small.

Excellent day with Captain John and Mate Butch!! We took our 15, 13, and 11 yr old kids with us for an adventure at sea and it was a beautiful morning!! We extended our 3 hr trip to 4hr which was great for our kids but may have been too long for little ones. The boat was excellent, clean and fit all of us comfortably. We caught over 20 Spanish mackerel, 2 lizard fish, and 2 sharks!! We worked 4-5 lines at a time. The equipment was in great condition and clearly worked well!! Although there were some lulls we also had several times where multiple lines were popping at the same time. Reeling in a shark was the greatest thrill! 10/10 recommend Captain John, Butch, and Fired Up

Captain John was amazing at talking me through the expectations and being available and knowledgeable to answer all of my questions before hand. The weather was looking questionable and he was prepared to be flexible and work around the storm front. Thankfully it ended up being absolutely beautiful at our planned outing. These fellas were so patient with our crew of newbies, and took amazing care of us! We were reeling in line after line just about as soon as we actually got out of the canal! We gained so much knowledge and were treated to so many awesome stories and anecdotes on our trip. Top notch team that is passionate, local and absolutely who you want to have guiding you through the Carolina beach waterways! Couldn’t have been more pleased or had a more enjoyable time! We even got to feed a sea turtle in the canal at the end of our trip. We came home with a TON of fish and enjoyed some great fish tacos after the trip. Captain John and Butch are the real deal! We learned so much and can’t wait to go out with them again! Thank you fellas for making it an awesome birthday outing that we absolutely will never forget! Y’all were positively a delight!
