Any day on the water fishing trumps all else! We had a good day on the water with Ozzy! Very kind and professional guy. Straight shooter. We didn’t catch the amount of fish we’d like to, however that’s not the cptn’s fault. I feel like Ozzy’s knowledge of the area and skill set was comparable. He put us on applicable fishing spots, but fish have to be co-operating as well. We did catch fish and had no problem getting bait applied to our rigs when needed. He stayed busy doing what he does, keeping us in and on fishing. Would be interested in chartering with this Captain again. Thank you Ozzy for a good trip.

Sometimes the fishes behavioral patterns are not what you want and this was one of those trips. While we did not catch anything, it certainly was not for lack of trying. Ozzy worked many different areas and tried various methods to catching the fish but this day was victorious for the fish and not the fishermen.

First time out with Ozzy and we enjoyed our time on the water. Ozzy did everything he said he was going to do and when we got to the dock, he was there waiting and ready to go. I have been on other charters where we would be waiting on the captain to get ready and that is not what a charter should be, so thank you Ozzy.

Enjoy the restaurant as well. Thank you for an enjoyable day.

We booked a last minute full day trip with this guide and he was fantastic! He felt like part of the family! He did all he could to help us find and catch fish. He didn’t give up on it at all. He was genuinely excited for us to make our catches. He truly cares about his customers and the experience that they have! We will be back to see him again!

Capt. Ozzy was professional, personal, and knows the waters around Topsail like the back of his hand. He took the time to explain each of the waterways, rigs, and what fish we were going after. He spent extra time with above and beyond what was required in order to give us the best experience possible. Highly recommend Marker 23 and Capt. Ozzy.

Absolutely awesome trip on the water with Captain Ozzy. He did a fantastic job putting us in fish and keeping us where the action was steady all day. Very knowledgeable and humble. Definitely just like going on a fishing trip with a longtime buddy that loves what he’s doing and loves seeing everyone on board catch fish and have a good time!
