Captain Eric’s number one priority was ensuring that my children ages 13, 10, and 8 had a great time. They did! After showing and helping us learn a bit about how to operate the rods and reels, my family was pretty able to run the show. Eric and his first mate, Tyler, were always quick to jump in and help, though. Although our most popular catch was the lizard fish, we did bring in a blue fish and a couple Spanish mackerels - the biggest pulled in by my wife. After our great trip and some wonderful stories from his experiences, including his time on Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks, we snapped some pics and Eric sent us off with some fillets and cooking tips. If we find ourselves around Atlantic Beach in the future, we’ll definitely look up Captain Eric again.

If you’ve seen Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks you might be a little unsure about taking your 10 year old out on his fishing charter but you don’t have to be a pro fisherman to have a great time out with Captain Eric.  He made our safety and comfort a priority as we navigated some pretty rough waves and eventually moved to calmer waters. Captain Eric was amazing! He is such a professional and clearly knows his business. He taught us how to ocean fish and spent extra time with our son to help him get the hang of it. In addition to the fishing, we also got a little history lesson and some interesting stories about his prior catches. Most importantly though, he led us to the fish! We caught way more fish than we ever expected and had a great time doing so. Our little Lizard Man says thanks for the lesson and he can’t wait to fish with you again.  Fish on!!

Great fishing experience,.......caught a lot of fish in 4 hours, very comfortable boat as it was larger and more substantial so as not any bad “rocking and rolling” with heavier seas. Fen, the 1st mate, was great…..very knowledgeable, entertaining and attentive to our needs. The Captain was congenial and attentive. Sunrise (Morning excursion) was beautiful…....a big plus that had a bathroom for use. Price was right.

This trip was so much fun! It was our first time to North Carolina and only our second time on a charter and it was definitely a highlight for us Colorado folk. The boys were extremely happy and the girls had a great time! Deckhand Darren was super friendly and helpful. There were times when all four of us were reeling in a fish at the same time and ended with 46! So many fun memories and pictures. Thank you so much!
