Mike was wonderful! From the start he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the trip fun! He reached out beforehand to tell us it was going to be tough getting them to bite, but with his expertise we were able to bring some into the boat! Definitely recommend Captain Mike!

If Captain Mike can’t put you on fish, nobody will! Dude knows his stuff, and a great guy to go fish with. Highly recommend going with him if you’re in the area, even in a slow time for fishing he managed to put us on a good amount of fish.

Captain Mike did an excellent job for the situation at hand. A tropical storm hit topsail two days before. The tide was extremely high and the water had not settle down since the storm. We did pay for 6 hour and we stopped roughly after 5 hours. However, Captain Mike did take us around to all the spots that he know of and we caught two to three in each spot. After 5 hours one of my boys were done. I will plan another trip with Captain Mike when we come back to the area.
