The 1/2 day package was good, as the Captain and boat were what we were looking for in our day. Captain was great, knowledgeable, good natured and helpful, especially with the kids (teens). We didn’t come across a lot of fish but had fun reeling in some flounder, drum and croakers.

We had a nice inshore fishing experience with Captain Will. Super hot and humid day with a very tough bite, but Captain Will worked hard to get us on some fish. We will definitely book with Reel Pirates again when in Emerald Isle. Thank you Captain Will!!

Captain Will was very accommodating for our 4 fishermen. He took us straight to catch our bait for the day, then to our first stop to wet the hooks. Within 5-10 minutes we had our first fish on. Within an hour we had hit our daily limit.
