Captain Louis has been fishing since he was a little boy with his father and grandfather. He loves fishing with guests, as it gives him a great deal of satisfaction to see their smiling happy faces as they reel in their catch. He has 2 sons who he's been taking fishing with him since they were able to walk, and they love it, too!

Julianna Nichols5.0VerifiedBEST DAY EVER ON A BOAT
8 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing • 2 adultsWe caught baby sharks, mackerel and blue fish! We had an amazing co captain scott he was amazing helping us make sure hooks were baited and stayed out to catch the maximum amount of fish possible as well as helped filet our fish at the end! We also had an amazing captain taking us to all the best places for sharks and mackerel! It was an all around amazing first experience fishing on a boat!
Response from CaptainThanks so much for the kind words! sorry I wasn’t down on deck like i like to be, my arm is still on fire! Thanks for fishing with us! Hope to see y’all again!
Dennis Plear4.0VerifiedGreat Time
6 Hour Trip (PM) • 4 adultsCaptain Lou and his mate Greyson were absolutely awesome!! We wanted to bottom fish and bottom fish we did! Although we didn’t catch keeper size Black Sea Bass, we did catch some Black Sea Bass! We caught several juvenile Tautog, Flounder and Black Sea Bass. We did, however; land several good size Trigger Fish and we lost a “door mat” as we were bringing it in!!! On the way back to the dock Captain Lou saw a large school of Red Drum and we tried to catch a few but they were a bit skittish!! We appreciated him trying to cap the day off with a notable catching a Red Drum, but it is what it is! He definitely knew where the fish were but the fish weren’t cooperating!! We’ll see you in December when it’s time to catch some of those keeper size Black Sea Bass!!!!!!

4 Hour Trip (PM) • 5 adultsCaptain Louis and his crew were amazing! This was our first of many to come. We caught a lot of blue fish, which were very tasty, as well as a few spanish mackerel. Grayson was really good about answering our random questions and all around a big help! 10/10 we’d do it again! Thank you Captain Louis!

6 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adultsTrip was wonderful went home with a feezer full of fish. Only downside no Cobia sightings, water was a bit rough though. The captain and mate worked hard the entire time very knowledgeable and friendly people! I would definitely book again if i go back to that area!

Ryan Long5.0VerifiedIt was nice to be on the water
4 Hour Trip (PM) • 6 adultsWe didn’t catch a lot of fish, no fault to the captain or deck hand. The water was choppy and it is what it is… you have good days and back, but overall I’d highly recommend them and I look forward to using them again for another charter! Overall not bad for a 4hr trip.

What's biting with Prowler Fishing Charter in Norfolk
The offshore season may be coming to a close, but that just means there's more to go after inshore. Scores of delicious fish start making their way back to the bay and rivers, giving you plenty to target.
