    Half day trip with Captain Bud

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    My sister and I had a wonderful time fishing with captain Bud. He took us to some great fishing areas, and was masterful in his keeping our lines baited and removing the many fish we caught. He was well prepared, his boat was clean, and his personality was a joy. Our smile muscles got a great work out along with our arms and hands. We would highly recommend his service to anyone.

    Had a great time today!

    Full Day Trip

    Catching those sharks was a blast and dang do they put up a fight the light gear made it a real memorable experience. Captain Bud is an outstanding fisherman who displayed a wealth of knowledge about the waters and landmarks around the Beaufort / Morehead city waterways. His patience, knowledge, attention to detail, and experience as well as a well cared for and clean boat made for a great time on the water. I recommend this charter! This charter was arranged to fish near shore off of Morehead city, NC

    Thank you Robert! I’m looking forward to our next trip together!

    Half day in the Bay with Capt. Bud

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    A great day on the water. Caught plenty of Black Sea bass, sand perch, toadfish, and puffer fish. Captain Bud is very knowledgeable about the area. He took us out into the ocean as well, just to say we did, although it was too windy to fish

    Response from Charter operator

    Thanks for sharing your downtime with me!! New experiences on the East coast. Enjoy your time back home in Colorado! We’ll see you next time!

    Had a great time with Capt Bud. He is very knowledgeable and took us to all the fishing spots to try our hand. Also, a great guy to have a conversation with. I would recommend giving Capt Bud a try when in the area.
