My son and I knew it was a risk to go out on charter with heat streak we been having.  Captain Les worked continuously in the heat for us to get that red catch we were looking forward to.  We enjoyed conversation and dealt with sting rays before red drum hit as we were heading into last hour of trip.  Approximately 10 lbs. (33” in length).  Then another red hit cut bait.  This one measured 29 inches.  We were all feeling joyful, enduring the het, acknowledging the warm water, and still... More

Capt. Les was absolutely fantastic with us. It was my son’s first fishing trip out on a boat and Capt. Les made sure it was one he would never ever forget. The captain was patient, nice, engaging and super knowledgeable! If ever given the opportunity to fish here again, I’ll be fishing from the Shoal Rider! Thank you, thank you!

we were a grop of six.. Captain Les welcomed us aboard hs 30’ Carolina hull and go us ot in the sound and catching fsh. one of our group had casted legand another was only 8 ys old. and we had two 18 yr olds. Captain Les schoold those kis and had their complete attention and respect.hard to do lol….we caught hound fish , a nce blue , some rays . wind was a bitch. we had a great tie and will defnitely come back to this oat and Captain.

We had a great trip. The captain was on time and very personable. He was very knowledgeable on the water. The water was clear and calm the day we fished and fishing was a little slow ( no fault of the captains). He had no problem moving to multiple different locations trying to get us on the fish. We did catch a couple sting rays and my boys had a great time reeling them in. All in all it was a great day on the water.

Captain Les worked non stop to keep fresh bait on the hooks. He was very patient and personable with my sons ans I.  We hooked into some big blues, a bullnose ray and even a Houndfish! He didnt use the typical small squid strips , top bottom rigs or trolled with spoons. We were rigged up for big fish. His AM boat caught a 32” Redfish. We plan to rebook with him on our nex trip!
