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.

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.

This was the third time we had been on a guided fishing trip. Captain Ozzie was by far the best host we have had. We didn’t catch as much fish as we would have liked, but that was no fault of his. I’m sure the time of year weather conditions, and most of all our lack of fishing expertise played a large role in our shortage of success.
We definitely plan to do this again, and highly recommend captain Ozzie as a guide
