Sneads Ferry, United States
100+ reviews
Capt. Kyle runs trips out of Sneads Ferry aboard a 30' Southport. These waters are known for Mahi_Mahi and Kingfish and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or trolling. With substantial knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water! Captain Ryan runs the 1996 Jones Brothers Bateau: A North Carolina built boat designed to fish our inshore waters. Powered by a 90hp Tohatsu motor this boat will run in skinny waters and while it's a flat bottom boat it offers a comfortable and safe ride in our estuaries. Comfortably fishes 4 clients while offering many different styles of fishing in our area. Depending on the trip, he may run the Pathfinder!

    Excellent fishing

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    Capt KK, did a great job getting us on the fish. Going out right after the Nor-easter the water was cloudy and currants were crazy. Capt KK moved us to get us on the fish. He and his 1st mate are friendly, professionals who know thier business. Boat was clean and worked great. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an outstanding fishing trip, he will get you on the fish

    Great Trip!

    Half Day inshore • 3 adults

    Had an awesome experience fishing with Captain Ryan! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and knew exactly where to find the fish. We ended up catching a handful of very nice drum, a couple of flounder that unfortunately had to go back, and lost a few others along the way. Captain Ryan made the whole trip enjoyable and definitely put us on the fish. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience with a captain who knows what he’s doing, I highly recommend Captain Ryan. We’ll definitely be booking another trip!

    A Beach trip MUST - DO

    Land Based Shark Fishing • 3 adults

    Eamonn and Vinny were amazing. They walked us through the whole shark fishing process and were completely hands throughout the entire process. We were able to catch 4 sharks which made my son’s beach trip extra special. As a mom, I gained an amazing memory with my family while also having awesome pictures to remember the experience. This is our second year using this company and we will definitely be using them again next year. I would refer these guys to anyone and I have already done so. If you need a fishing charters, these are your guys!!

    Awesome Redfish trip

    Half Day inshore • 5 adults • 2 children

    the trip was very relaxed, great communication and great captain, who is a good family man. there are plenty of fish schools and the captain can see them from the perch. once the fish hit, you're in a fight with serious ripping and whipping action on the poles. we had 5 lines in the water and every single one got hit. my sin caught a competition size 29 incher which after some pics went back to make more monsters. call, schedule and enjoy your fishing trip.

    3/4 Day Inshore • 2 adults

    Had an awesome time out on the water with Captain Ryan! My buddy and I had a blast and were on the redfish during the trip. Ryan was great to fish with — knowledgeable, laid back, and made the whole experience a damn good time from start to finish. We’d highly recommend booking a trip with him, and we’re already planning our next one. Can’t wait to get back out there!

Inshore, the Red Drum bite should be heating up. If you're going after Spanish and King Mackerel, they'll usually be lurking a few miles from the coast.
