I have fished for 40 plus years cutting my teeth fishing bass tournaments. Also have fished salt water during this same time and decided to become a charter captain! Inshore/Nearshore fishing. Specialized in catching Black Drum, Redfish, Flounder, and whatever wants to bite!

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults • 2 children

    My kids and I had a great time fishing with Capt. Artie. We caught plenty of fish: drum, trout, croaker, and more. He knew where to find them and was great at keeping us fishing all morning. My daughter wanted to catch her first redfish and that was very first thing we did. Afterwards, we kept talking about how great Capt. Artie was and would book another charter with him in a heartbeat.

    Variety of Fish

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults

    Capt. Artie was fantastic. We caught 10 different species of fish. He put us on fish the whole trip. Our target fish was Red Drum. We caught plenty of Red Drum. Our biggest fish of the day was a black drum. Capt Artie is a great captain and will work hard for your party to catch fish and have a good time. I highly recommend.

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Flounder

    Awesome start to the day!

    3 hour trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Artie is a pro!! He’s a great guide and a wonderful personality! We caught plenty of fish, but I would have had a blast anyway and would definitely recommend this trip to everyone despite their knowledge of fishing. Captain Artie did a brilliant job with our grandson as well…

    Response from Captain

    Thank you James, it was a great day of catching! I enjoyed having you guys on the boat and look forward to your next trip. That was an awesome review and I appreciate it very much. PS, the crab claw is staying in the boat for awhile!😂

What's biting with Hounddog Fishing Charters in Oak Island

More and more Red Drums, while Trout are as equally as numerous. Offshore waters are still warm and you can target Grouper, Amberjacks, and Wahoo.
