Great mid-moring/Early afternoon trip

Aug 7, 2025 New Bern

Fun mid morning trip with the Smith/Mitchell clan. We got to watch tarpon for a while then went and put on a redfish clinic. Some first and biggest fish we’re had and they’re having some great dinner while family is in town!!!!!.

Another great day on the neuse

May 1, 2025 New Bern

We caught fish all morning long. This father son duo put the beat down on some big gold fish and had a great time doing it.

Been Some Great Fishing

Mar 21, 2025 New Bern

The trout fishing has been on fire as of late. We’ve had plenty of days with almost 50+ fish being caught. Most fish have been from 16-22 inches with a few citations in the mix.

Summer Time Neuse River

Jul 6, 2024 New Bern

Guys needed some meat for a fish fry. So we set out for some black drum and redfish and they didn’t disappoint us. Even added a couple catfish to the mix

1/2 day trip

Jul 3, 2024 New Bern

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.

We had a great time! Things started a little slow, but then we were grabbing rods left and right. Captain Brad was jumping, he stayed on top of things well. We lost quite a few, but laded 4 and brought 2 top of slot redfish home for dinner. Great experience!

Thanks Paul, Definitely was a struggle to start with fish pushing away from us. Losing 14 + is always a pain on structure but I’ll do better next go around!!!!!
