Me and my 13 year old son have been on several fishing charters and this by far was the best. Captain Ozzie had an incredible level of patience as he answered all of the questions that my son had about fishing…and there were a lot of questions. He knew the area very well and worked very hard to ensure that we caught fish. On a very slow fishing day, we were able to find action towards the end of the trip as we caught several fish. As an added touch the boat was awesome and the snacks were great. We were able to fish in many areas of shallow water, where many boats could not go. Would highly recommend this trip if you really want to learn about fishing, as Captain Ozzie is a walking Encyclopedia. He also shared many historical fun facts about the area. We can’t wait to plan our next fishing trip with Captain Ozzie in July, when we are back in Topsail again.

Captain Ozzy greeted us with enthusiasm and excitement on the dock and with a bit of review and setting the course of action for the day we were off! Ozzy was the absolute definition of a knowledgeable and experienced fishing guide. He put my sons and I on fish from the very beginning of our 8 hour day up to the last minute we were on the water. We experienced a variety of different fishing scenarios and each were explained to us so we understood what we were looking at above water, as well as what was going on below the water. 

The day I shared with Ozzy and my sons on the water will not be forgotten. The biggest part of making our day a success was a captain that understood his guests, and catered his plan to our needs and experience level.

I highly recommend that you reach out to Ozzy to plan your next fishing adventure.

A great day fishing with Captain Anthony from Marker 23 Fishing! We spent a half day on the water and hit several spots, successfully catching Redfish, Flounder, and Black Drum.

Captain Anthony did an incredible job working hard to keep us on the fish and ensure we had a fantastic experience. We’re already looking forward to our next trip!

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.
