What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Calabash, North Carolina for the first time?

Opt for a clear day, NOT right after a hurricane. The 1/2 day or full day trip is needed for better fish. The six hour trip is just an extension of whatever you might catch in 4 hours. Still a good time!

My fist time catching ocean fish. The captain and crew member was very helpful. I am allergic to fish. The crew made sure I had an awesome experience. I may not be able to eat or touch fish. But on this boat they made sure I was never left out. Captain Shane thank you very much!!!

Take the half day fishing trip had a great time Crew was very polite and very experienced in what they do they took very good care of all of our needs

For your first time, definitely take a heroic dose of Dramamine if you don’t have sea legs...lol. Have a good time!!!!!

Trust the Captain and his deck mate. Made the trip feel safe and relaxing. We had an awesome time and have memories that will last a lifetime!

Even on a cloudy and cool afternoon, we had a blast. Dress in layers, just in case, and enjoy the great outdoors!

Be aware there is not a whole lot of biodiversity closer to shore in May so the shorter trips are going to be limited in what's available to catch.

The big boys are not biting due to water temp. The Captain made sure we were busy bringing fish on the boat

Pick a good charter! Read reviews and when the weather is perfect. The entire area is beautiful and great variety of fish depending on time of year.

Expect the unexpected but not too set your expectations high,you will have a great time and you will catch fish

Call your trip Captain before the day of and make sure your both on the same page as to what your wanting to fish for.

WOW the fish we right on the hooks we barely had enough time to drop and wind they were hitting hard.

Can be a tough time to fish, so be flexible and let the captain put you on what is biting!

Let the captain direct you. He knows the waters. Will definitely be booking with them again .

Talk directly to calabash to so their is no misunderstanding of what you are paying for .
