Trout bite has been insane

Feb 20, 2024 New Bern

Been fishing in a lot of different areas and it remains the same. 30-100 trout everyday all on artificial baits.

1/2 inshore

Jun 21, 2023 New Bern

Great day when the weather man say 100% chance of rain. We stayed dry all morning long while catching some nice fish.

Myers Trip

Jun 19, 2023 New Bern

Fun and challenging morning on some fish with the Myers crew today. We had schools of fish swimming around the boat that just wouldn’t eat. Made some moves and got another school to eat. Lost a few around some structure. Then ended with some nice double ups and singles.

Non-Stop Nearshore Action

May 21, 2023 Cedar Point

We had a great day out on the Spanish bite with Mr. Flip. It was non-stop on Spanish and even managed a nice Bonito as well. We even saw lotf of sharks and dolphins swiming around

1/2 day on trout and reds

May 20, 2023 New Bern

Was a great full day inshore trip. We found a great speckled trout biye and a mixture of slot, overslot and underslot red fish.

Little family fun

May 9, 2023 Cedar Point

We got this family out for a 1/2 morning fishing trip on the Neuse river and it didn’t disappoint. We had nonstop action on bluefish and left them chewing to go and find redfish. We caught a few reds going from under slot to some noce slot soze fish.

My 15 year old son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Brad. The fish were not biting early on, but he found another spot where we were reeling them in, so lots of excitement for my son, which is all that mattered to me. Capt Brad kept the trip interesting with our conversations and we all had a good time on the water.

We caught several fish and had a great time. Captain Brad was very helpful with our young daughter. We left with more than enough fish for dinner. I would recommend this trip to any group, and hope to be in town to do it again sometime.

After booking, Captain Brad contacted us and asked a few questions about what we wanted out of the fishing trip, species of fish we wanted to target, etc. The day before the trip Captain Brad called us with detailed instructions on where and when to meet him. On the day of the trip Captain Brad was there before us, kindly waiting. He knew where all the good fishing spots were. He was a wealth of knowledge- educating us on the water’s ecosystem and what we were seeing. We had a blast! Definitely... More

Beautiful morning on the water although a bit windy and cool. Captain Brad took us to all of the hotspots but the fish weren’t very cooperative. 3 Redfish were landed and a couple of others slipped the hook. Looking forward to trying again soon!
