Captain TC grew up commercial fishing in Masonboro Sound, taking every chance he had to be out on the water. He uses mainly light tackle with live bait, except in the winter months when live bait isn't readily available. 'I decided to create an affordable charter to offer a great experience to everyone.'

    Great fun with the kids!

    Half Day morning Trip • 3 adults • 2 children

    My 10 and 12 yr old had a great time with Captain TC. He was very patient and allowed the boys to be as hands on as they wanted so they felt really involved and like they earned their catches for the day. TC has great local knowledge and was ready to shift locations if the fish weren't biting in order to meet our ulitimate goal which was to bring home some catch for dinner.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Sheepshead

    Thanks again!
