    Amazing Trip!!!

    2 hour Kids Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    we went out yesterday 7/31 with Johnny to do the kids trip and it was an amazing trip. It was my wife and two boys 12 and 4. i wasnt sire how my 4 year old would do. At first he was unsure but from the start of the trup Johnny was amazing he made sure both my boys were included in everything he did. He taugh my oldest a good bit about rigging up fishing poles and hownto handle the fish. My couldnt stop talking about the trip the rest of the day and wants to start fishing more. He was great with my youngest and new exaclty how to keep him engaged so he could have fun. Johnmy was great all around glad we picked him to take us out fishing. We alrwady know when we come down next year we are booking another trip with him. If you have kids and want to have a great time I would 110% recommend Johnny. Thank you for making our first fishing trip in Ocean Isle a great one!!!

    Captain John was awesome

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain John did a great job. Super friendly and very knowledgeable. Fishing wasn’t the greatest, but we did catch fish, however it wasn’t for a lack of effort from Captain John he took us to several different places trying to track them down. He spoke with several other captains on the Water on the day of our trip and nobody was catching very many fish, but that’s the reason they call it fishing and not catching. I would absolutely book another trip with Captain John.

    First Saltwater Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My wife and I went on this trip with Captain Johnny, who was super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We had a nice day, but the fact he knew the area and where to fish was great and if we didn't catching anything in one spot, we moved. His focus was for us to enjoy the trip. As a result, we caught several nice fish as well as got several suggestions for local resturants. I would recommend him again.

    Best Captain Ever!!!

    2 hour Kids Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain John was awesome. My boys had an absolute blast on the charter and that’s really what it’s all about. Each of them got to feel the rush of pulling in the biggest fish they’ve ever caught, which made it even more memorable. He was great with the kids, kept things fun, and made sure they were always engaged and having a good time. You can tell he knows what he’s doing and genuinely enjoys it. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be calling him again next time we’re back in Ocean Isle.

    Wonderful experience!

    2 hour Kids Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    My wife, daughter, nephew, and I booked a 2 hour kids trip with Captain John. He was absolutely amazing and really great with the kids! He tried several different spots in an attempt to let the kids catch some big fish but also to just put fish in the boat no matter how big. This kept them engaged and also kept it fun. We highly recommend Captain John!
