Capt. Adam runs trips out of Bolivia, NC, aboard a 25' Robalo center console. These waters are known for Redfish, Kingfish, and Flounder, and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or trolling. With many years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Great time on the water.

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    We were in town for vacation, decided to book a charter. Captain Adam was amazing. We had a great time, we enjoyed being out on the water and seeing a different view of everything as we cruised the waterways. My son had an absolute blast, would definitely recommend this charter. Very knowledgeable and interesting captain, learned a lot, caught some fish, and had a great day on the water with some family! Thanks for everything!

    Fantastic Experience!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    Adam provided a fantastic trip for this goup of four! He took time to ensure a successful trip by beginning with a convenient pickup location, helped locate and catch a large variety of fish, had a great boat that was well equipped, and was extremely personable and a joy to be around! We will definitely book again and highly recommended!

    Captain Adam was Great

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We caught a couple of blue fish and a skate, but couldn’t seem to land anything else on the boat. We blame the tide because the captain did his best to lead us to more fish. We had a great time nonetheless. Even a so so day fishing is better than a good day at work. We would definitely use him again. Nice boat and even nicer captain.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you both..it was truly my pleasure..tough day but they do happen..humbled nonetheless. until next time. Thank you!

    Captain Adam was great with my kids and older passengers alike. Solid equipment, worked hard to ensure we had a good time. Knows his fishing and a fun crew to be around. I’m definitely booking with him next time we’re in Oak Island. Thanks!
