What's up, y'all? I'm Captain James Craddock, but you're more than welcome to call me Jamesey Boy or just James. I would love for you to join me for a day on the water Fishing, Crabbing, Sightseeing, Dolphin watching, and more. I am a true native of the area, with 7+ generations of commercial fishing experience and being the fourth-generation captain/guide. I grew up on the water fishing pound nets and crab pots with my dad and even spent a summer on the trawl boat shrimping with my grandfather. All that to say, I love spending the day in the sun, especially on the water around my home. Safety and smiles are the most important things with me on the water.

2-hour crabbing early morning • 4 adultsCaptain James took us out to pull crab pots and then do some fishing. The crabbing was a lot of fun, and we harvested nearly a bushel of Blue Crabs with only pulling 5 pots. My 14-year-old son was able to get hands on and pull up the pots and empty them into the boat. James was very willing to teach us all aspects of fishing and crabbing in the sound. He has a long family history living and fishing on the water.
Response from CaptainI really enjoyed having yall out Alan and I hope to see you all again.

3 Hour Trip – Family Fun (AM) • 4 adultsJames was great, took us out for some crabbing and fishing. Learned how to crab, James explained everything and turned us loose. We finally got on the fish towards the end of our time and he let us keep fishing until we had to get back. Thanks for a great day James. Would highly recommend!

What's biting with Muddy Creek Adventures in Manteo
Huge 'Smoker' Kingfish tear around the nearshore structure, while Bull Red Drum patrol the sounds. This is your last chance to battle Billfish before they head south, so save some time for offshore fishing.
