I've been fishing since I was a child. I've loved every minute of it. And now I want to share my experience and knowledge with others. I hope that my clients will learn to love the coastal waters of North Carolina like I do.

    Best Trip Ever!

    1/2 Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Hands down the best fishing trip we’ve ever had! Captain Woody was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and easygoing, which made the entire experience so enjoyable. He worked hard to make sure we stayed on fish and made sure we caught plenty throughout the trip. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants everyone to have a great time. We made some amazing memories and can’t wait to book another trip with him. If you’re looking for an inshore fishing experience that’s truly worth it, Captain Woody is the one to call. Highly recommend!

    Awesome trip with Captain Woody!

    1/2 Day Trip – Nearshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Woody was fantastic -- he was very knowledgeable, kind and patient with our son, generous, and full of interesting local stories to share. He also worked hard to get us fish and brought us to a lot of different spots. We really enjoyed our morning fishing with him and wouldn't hesitate to book with him again!

    We had a beautiful day on the water with Captain Woody who shared his knowledge and crabs! We weren't lucky enough to catch today, but the stories and scenery kept us engaged! Overall, a great experience 🙌🏻
