I grew up fishing both freshwater and saltwater in North Carolina. Living on the Great Lakes exposed me to a different fishery. Previous to returning home to North Carolina, I spent many years fishing in Southern California for all kinds of Pelagic species. I bring all the things that I have learned from these vastly different fisheries to bear when we fish the North Carolina coastal and offshore waters.

AJ City
Full Day Trip - Offshore on April 9, 2025
We booked a trip with Unreel to get on some big AJ’s and get a workout. A little bit of a boat ride to get to the prime hunting grounds but on the third stop we found them. Nearly every drop resulted in a solid hookup with 30-50 lb fish. Every fish was caught on vertical jigs. We lost a few jigs but it seemed like Captain Mark had an unlimited supply of jigs on board so a quick retie and we were back in business. A couple were certainly more than that. At the end of this stop we were all soaked in sweat and laying on the deck. Good times.

Offshore Gulf Stream Trip
Full Day Trip-Offshore Gulf Stream on September 27, 2024
We settled in at 5:30 am for the ride to the gulf stream. It was a little snotty heading out but we were comfy in the bean bags and the spray curtains kept us dry. Once we got to the stream the weather settled down and it was hot! The crew got the lines out and within minutes the first reel went off! Wahoo in the boat. While we were catching our breath another reel went off! Tuna. We had a great time and had so much fun. 3 Wahoo, 6 Tuna, 1 Mahi. I think we did all right.

Great opportunity

Had an incredible experience! Caught fish, made memories, and achieved a dream fish catch! I will absolutely use mark again. Hopefully in the near future. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain, a clean boat, good equipment and a successful trip, choose unreel!

Thank you guys. I really enjoyed yesterday as well. It was a treat fishing with all of you. Still pumped after that Wahoo came on board. How cool was that? Come back and let’s do it again!

Great Last Minute Mahi Fishing Trip!
Mahi walk on - 375 per person! on May 24, 2025 • 2 adults
My HS son and I booked a last minute charter with Captain Marc and had an absolute blast! Marc knew exactly where to go and was able to get us on fish quickly. Loved all the fishing knowledge that he had to share! One of the best small boat charters I’ve been on!

We went out knowing it was a slightly rough day and one of our group members got sea sick but despite that we had a great time. Captain Mark was good company and put us in fish. We caught 2 Mahi, 5 amber jacks, 1 barracuda, and a wahoo.
