    Epic morning with Captain Tyler!

    4 HR Trip – Nearshore • 3 adults

    My boys and I had a wonderful outing with Captain Tyler this morning. Had our limit of flounder within the first 30 min and landed half a dozen big Spanish mackeral as well. Captain was fun to talk witg and went the extra mile prepping our fillets and making sure we got our fish home cold. Hope we can come back next year - will definitely rebook with Tyler!!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Flounder

    Excellent first fishing boat trip my Boy!

    2 HR Kids Trip - 1:00 PM • 3 adults • 1 child

    Exceeded all expectations! My six year old son loved his 2 hour fishing experience with Captain T. The whole crew was so nice and he kept catching fish the entire time. My father in law caught a stingray and my son caught flounder…he snagged a few that were cleaned and brought back to our homestead and gently released the protected species. The Captain was very knowledgeable and showed our guy everything and was very patient with him. Thank you all for creating a memorable experience for life!

    Great trip!!

    6 HR Offshore 4 People Max • 3 adults

    Captain Tyler with Carolina Traditions Fishing Charters put us on the fish all day! We caught an incredible 40-pound barracuda, a 21-pound king mackerel, and several more fish. Captain Tyler was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. The boat and equipment were top-notch, and the entire experience was outstanding. I highly recommend Carolina Traditions Fishing Charters and will definitely be booking another trip!

    Great quick way to get on the water

    2 Hour Trip – Kids - 1:00 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    The two hour trip is a great way to get the kiddos on the water and not have to worry about them changing their mind. There are a few easy to get to spots from the dock so you don't have to worry about spending too much time traveling vs fishing. Both my kids had a great experience and were ready to sign up for a longer trip next time. You will need to bring any drinks and boat snacks you might want on this one.
