While Tide Tight Guide Service is new to fishingbooker.com, fishing the waters around Swansboro and Emerald Isle is something Capt Andy has been doing for 20 years. A trip with Tide Tight includes everything you need to catch fish - rods, reels, tackle, bait, etc. Just bring what you want to eat and drink, a hat and some sunscreen, and you're ready to go. Tide Tight covers the fishing licenses so you don't have to buy one. On a typical day inshore we'll be catching redfish, trout, flounder, black drum, and sheepshead. Near shore ocean trips targeting spanish and king mackerel, black bass, triggerfish are available if seas are calm. We'll be fishing a 22 foot Pathfinder Tournament Edition bay boat, powered with a 200 horsepower Yamaha, with top end speed of 45 MPH. It's equipped with Garmin electronics, a Minn Kona trolling motor, a Power Pole anchor and carries all Coast Guard required safety equipment. Tide Tight Guide Service can customize trips that include Eco-Tours where we'll search for sand dollars, sharks teeth and shells or Cruises to check out the sights around Swansboro and Emerald Isle.

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Half day (AM)2 adults

    Fishing was a bit slow but Captain Andy kept working to get us on the fish. We ended up with a few nice fish. He cleaned our catch once we got back to the dock. The day was great!

    Great trip with captain Andy

    4 Hour Trip – Half day (AM)4 adults

    Fishing with captain Andy was a great experience. He’s extremely knowledgeable of the area and will work hard to put you on some fish. The first spot we went was a bit slow so we didn’t stay there long, but we did manage to catch a small grouper at that spot. After that we were catching red drum at every location we went! Andy is super kind and more than willing to share some tips if you ask. I would imagine that even if you booked on a slow day you would still have a good time just talking and learning from him. Would highly recommend and plan to tour with him again in the near future.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Awesome day fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Half day (AM)2 adults

    We decided to book a 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Andy while we were at Emerald Isle on a family vacation. Glad we did. He showed us a great time taking us to several fishing spots in and around the Intracoastal Waterway. We caught two Redfish within the first 30 minutes, and one was too big to keep. We also hooked a stingray at one point! The combination beautiful weather, scenery, and fishing made for a memorable experience. Andy is a great guy and being from the area taught us not only about local fishing, but also made recommendations for activities and restaurants to consider during our vacation. To cap off our day, Andy cleaned and filleted our fish, which we ate this evening for dinner. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Andy!

    So much fun we'll do it again!!

    4 Hour Trip – Half day (AM)3 adults

    We had a blast. Capt. Andy got us on the fish right away, and he kept us busy catching fish. We had to toss a few back because they were too small, we tossed some monsters back because they were too big, and we kept our limit of red fish. Action was pretty good, but in-between landing fish, we talked about local wildlife, hunting, fishing, and local activities and attractions. I recommend Capt Andy, and I'll book him again.

    Reported catch:

    Had a great trip with Captain Andy

    6 Hour Trip – 3/4 Day (AM)5 adults

    We had a great charter captain Andy with his years of experience made the call to start mid day to fish the out going tide and we were able to land 3 slot reds and a 1 red under slot. Andy work hard to put us in the fish even when we battled the high winds all day. We were also able to catch 3 keeper flounder on the way back to the dock. I highly recommend Tide Tight Guide Service for your next charter you want be disappointed. Thanks again Captain Andy
