    this was our first charter and so glad we chose captain Adam. we only did the 2hr trip and was definitely suprised that he got us on some fish in such a short amout if time. my 4yr old love it and cought his 1st salt water fish. Big Red fish. 26in long. he talked my little one right through every step of the way. he got the nick name captain AWESOME. lol. we will definitely be booking a longer trip with Adam next year. everyone needs to rember that if its tour first time and u dont catch anything its called fishing. not shopping. so dont get discouraged

    First charer experience!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had so much fun on this trip!! It was a cold day but we enjoyed it! It would have been nice to had the option to keep the fish and I would have liked to have got to fish instead of only my husband and son but we had a blast and Adam was very friendly and welcoming! We loved it and would definitely book another trip with him!!!! He was even great to give advice on fishing on shore and offered to help if we needed anything while still in town....this spoke highly of him to us!!!!

    Great Kids Trip!

    2HR KIDS TRIP - 12:00 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Adam was amazing. From start to finish, a great experience. Brought my two sons out for a 2 hour kids trip, and had an amazing time. Adam took care of basically everything for us. He helped the kids, and did his absolute best to make sure they had a great time. If you want a chance to take your kids out for some great fishing while your in the area, this is probably the best experience out there. Great communication, and top notch experience.

    Great time with family of 5 - just book it!

    2HR KIDS TRIP • 5 adults • 3 children

    What a fantastic day on the water! Captain Adam is an awesome guy and definitely knows how to find fish. We crushed it on our 2 hour kids trip! We caught three beautiful red drum between 18 and 26 inches. Adam’s a natural with families (father of triplets), super professional, got us out early, and even stayed late to clean our catch. Can’t ask for much more than that. Really looking forward to enjoying dinner tonight. Thanks again, Adam!

    Great day of fishing

    3/4 Day Trip • 3 adults

    Really hot weather but Captain Wallace worked hard to put us on fish. we caught some redfish and trout. When he says he will go the extra yard for his clients, he means it. We had a big redfish wrap a pier piling, he got out of the boat in chest deep water and waded over to the pier and was able to free the fish after going under it and around both sides. We landed/released it! Will definitely fish with him again!

    Response from Charter operator

    That was hands down the absolute best lands ever! Thank you guys for such a memorable morning.

Inshore bite is finally picking up and we are seeing some healthy slot and over slot redfish. On calm days we are getting a lot of action on topwater lures and soft plastic paddle tails, on windy days we have been utilizing cut bait with lots of bites. We are also starting to see some great sized flounder pushing inshore.

Redfish have been feeding on live mullet the past couple days. Were seeing big fish, 28-32+ inch fish, pulling drag and giving anglers a heck of a fight.

Spring time redfish

Apr 20, 2025 • Surf City
As spring continues to warm up, we are seeing the big winter time schools breaking up and moving into areas we will see them throughout the summer. They are starting to show action to topwater early in the mornings before the wind kicks up.
