    First charter for my Grandsons!

    4 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    The Captain put us on fish at every stop! He made my grandsons the first priority as I requested getting them into Crooker and Speckled trout. He taught them to bait their own lines, and good technique. The boys couldn't stop talking about their adventure, and can't wait to go again. The boat was clean and organized, and all equipment was in great condition. Our safety and experience was our Captains total focus. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again. The Cole Family

    amazing trip!

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a terrific trip with Andy. The water was rough in the ocean due to the Nor'Easter, but he was able to work around it and kept us in the river to still have a great trip. He was great with both my 11 and 13 year olds and we were able to catch a good amount of fish, including lots of croaker and a couple of good sized black drum to keep as well as a good sized crab. We caught other fish that were too small to keep, but were able to use a couple for bait. He even allowed us to keep fishing for a bit longer than our scheduled time since we were getting lots of bites. We had a great time and would use this fishing charter again in the future. Highly recommend Andy for anyone looking for a charter in the Kure Beach/Carolina Beach area!

    Summer Bucketlist Success!

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a super time fishing with Capt. Andy! My brother and I, his 11 year old niece and my 8 year old son went out to fish inland with Captain Andy, and had a beautiful and successful day on the water- sunrise, double rainbow sighting, dolphin, alligators, birds. My 8 year old had never fished from a boat and has only done a little bit of pond fishing, but was thrilled to start catching fish as soon as he threw in a line and the rest of us had great success too. We caught mostly croaker, enough to turn into fish tacos and feed an extended family of 14 that had come to the beach together. Captain Andy was a super guide keeping us busy, and the real fishing beagle was a sweet little pup to keep us company:) Capt. Andy communicated well ahead of time (the weather was iffy early in the week so he stayed in touch about the weather) , he was generous with his time, kept us fishing longer than we expected when he saw we were in another good spot and having fun, and filleted the fish right there for us making it so easy for us to fulfill my 8 year olds fish wish!!! Thank you Capt. Andy!!!

    Really fun morning!

    4 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Andy and Firstmate Sassie (a beagle) took great care of us! We are not experienced fisherman and the Captain was patient, informative, and made sure all 3 of us caught at least one fish. The boat was clean and well-appointed and we got to try a lot of different spots and bait. In 4 hours on the water, we reeled in drum, flounder, and trout - and even a very small shark. We saw dolphin and turtles, too!

    Response from Captain

    3 inshore slams for an inexperienced crew means that Y'all learn quick. I wish I had videoed you fighting that last Red on the little kid rod

    My son and I had an excellent fishing trip!

    4 Hour Trip – For Military • 2 adults

    We thoroughly enjoyed our fish trip with Captain Andy, he had everything on the boat that one could possibly need for a great fishing experience, he was very knowledgeable, and it proved evident through a very successful fishing trip, We caught 7 different species of fish and both my son and I completed the Inshore Slam/Southern Slam for the very 1st time!

    I never catch fish on charters, literally been on dozens and for some reason everyone around me can catch fish but I never see my lines move. Not only did I catch multiple fish this trip I caught decent sized fish. Captain Mike was delightful and you can't beat his first mate. Just a great time, 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    There were five of us including our 9 year old granddaughter. It was her first time fishing and I think she caught the most fish. Captain Andy was so patient. We all caught fish: redfish, croaker, flounder (threw back). Bonus: we saw a massive sea turtle! I highly recommend.

    Absolutely fantastic fishing trip 🎣 Great captain and 4-legged crew, It was a fun experience from start to finish. We caught plenty of fish (at least 5 or 6 different kinds), the kids had a blast, and will definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!
