Hi, I'm Captain Harvey Wall. I'm a North Carolina native, a proud U.S. Army veteran, and a graduate of the United States Maritime Academy. I've been a fishing guide since 2000, helping anglers of all skill levels learn more about fishing — and have a great time doing it. My love for fishing started early, thanks to my great-grandfather, who first put a rod in my hands. Ever since, I've spent my life on the water learning the best ways to consistently put fish in the boat. When you fish with me, you're in for a fun, hands-on experience. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, I'll make sure you enjoy the trip while learning a thing or two about fishing in the Carolinas. Let's get you on the water!

    Great trip

    Inshore / Backwater - 4 Hours3 adults

    Here's a more personal and reliable-sounding review: Writing Had an amazing trip with this charter. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Booking was simple and hassle-free, and everything was well organized when we arrived. We caught several fish throughout the trip, although nothing big enough to keep this time. Even so, being out on the water, learning from the captain, and enjoying the experience made it well worth it. The captain worked hard to keep us on the fish and made sure everyone had a great time. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun day on the water. I'll definitely be booking another trip next year.

    Awesome trip with adult special needs son and 2 grandchildren!

    Captain’s Choice: Best Bite - 10:45 AM4 adults2 children

    We caught pinfish, croacker, stingray (small), baby shark, flounder. Was fun! Captain Harvey was the greatest! My son couldn't cast, so Captain Harvey cast and then gave it to Jeff who reeled in all his catches including stingray. He also taught all of us about the fish and safe handling of them. He kept our poles baited and gave tips when needed. My granddaughter even had a story about the big redfish that got away! It appeared to be about 22 inches long and gave her an amazing reeling in experience. However, the fish put up a bigger fight and got away! 🎣 Such an enjoyable trip with Captain Harvey!

    Response from Captain

    Hey Linda, thank you for the kind words and for trusting me with your family’s fishing trip. Watching Jeff reel in his catches and seeing the kids get excited about every fish made for a great day on the water. Sorry that Redfish got away, but sometimes those are the fish that become the best stories! I’m glad everyone had a good time, and I hope to fish with y’all again next time you’re in the area. Thanks again, Captain Harvey

    Great Time with Captain Harvey!

    Captain’s Choice: Best Bite - 4 Hrs3 adults

    Captain Harvey was great! Our whole group had an awesome time. We caught a little bit of everything—from toadfish, sea bass, and Spanish mackerel to ending the trip with a couple of sharks! Captain Harvey kept things fun and made sure everyone had a great experience. Plenty of laughs, plenty of fish, and a great day on the water. We’d definitely recommend him and would book with Captain Harvey again!

    Great choice for my 2 young boys first time out

    Inshore / Backwater - 4 Hours3 adults2 children

    Capt. Harvey was great to deal with. He's very knowledgeable about the area and was super patient with my 2 boys as this was their first time out in salt water. He put us right on the fish out on a reef and the boys had reeled in 6-8 black sea bass in just a few minutes. After some time out in the ocean we headed back to the backwaters where his knowledge of the area really showed up in the way he navigated through the shallows. We will be returning in the fall for a week and plan to book another trip with Capt. Harvey.

    Fun family outing!

    Nearshore Reefs & Shipwreck Fishing - 10:45 AM4 adults

    We highly recommend Captain Harvey. We started out 4 miles off shore at a reef and caught a few sea bass and pinfish right away. When seasickness hit my son, Captain Harvey was very accommodating and we decided it would be best to move to inshore fishing for the balance of the trip. My wife and daughter outfished the boys today, pulling in croakers and pinfish with nearly every cast. All in all a very fun and ultimately relaxing day on the water. Would definitely do it again in the future. Thank you for a great day!

What's biting with Salty Dawg Fishing Charters in Ocean Isle Beach

The beginning of fall means that inshore fishing is becoming the main attraction again with large Redfish starting to move to the backwaters. This doesn't mean the end of offshore action, however, since Wahoo, Tuna, and others are still around.
