Had an awesome time with Kent! We had two young boys with us and he was very patient and helpful the entire time. He is clearly knowledgeable and put us on fish in multiple locations. We will definitely be using him again next time weโ€™re in NC!

Dress for the weather you have and be happy when you get fish in the boat. You may not catch what you were planning to catch but thatโ€™s what you call fishing.

Captain Thomas was amazing. Heโ€™s been fishing all his life. He knows exactly where to go to get the fish on your plate. My family loved him. Great vibes. Caught way more fish than what we expected. WE ARE EATING GOOD TONIGHT! Even if we were to not catch any fish, was a great time with Captain Thomas. Definitely recommend!

It can get windy on the water as the boat is moving, especially in the morning so you may want a jacket. Be ready to be patient and enjoy the water and surrounding.

It's all about the weather in the fall. We lucked into a 2.5 ft at 9 seconds day with plenty of sunshine and a light breeze. It was the first day in 8 the boat was able to get out on the ocean due to the weather.

Communicate with your captain and first mate to know what to expect. Captain Duke and his first mate, Dillon, were professional, knowledgeable, and knew what they were doing and communicated what was biting and how far off shore we would be. If you have any questions, just ask.

If youโ€™re prone to seasickness make sure you have something to take. My husband was nauseated most of the trip after we got out to the fishing grounds.

Ribbon fish seem to be what most captains target right away. If you want to fish for other species, make the captain aware early on

Our trip was supposed to be near shore however because of high waves created by hurricane the fishing trip was in the sound. This was not an issue for us and we still had a great experience.
