I booked Capt Mike before I even drove down to the OBX and he called me within 10 mins to say Hi, get an idea of what I wanted to do and he was ready for me at 7:30am on Monday (June 17, 2024) and within 10 mins of leaving the dock, I was setting the hook on Sea Trout.  I had booked a 4 hr charter and didn’t want to kill my limit, only wanting to throw some filets on the grill.  I think we caught 10 during the 3 hours we were out and by 10:30- I told Mike that I was ready to head in.  The Sunday sunburn I got and the full sun we were getting was just too much for me.  Mike was working hard all morning- checking in w other charters to see how they were doing… and honestly… we were doing better than most.  We casted for Sea Trout with a ‘popping corks’ program.  Being that the bay was shallow- less than 5 ft in most areas- casting made sense.  But, Mike did tell me that some boats out there have very different programs, so be sure to ask the captain what he likes to do, and make sure that’s what u had in mind.
I would DEFINITELY book Capt Mike again.

Great trip with Captian Mike.  My wife, 16 year old son and I were lucky enough to book a short notice trip aboard Sounds Good.  The communication prior to the trip was excellent.  We arrived early to find the live well filled with bait and the captian ready to go.  Headed out to a reef site where we caught several beautiful speckled trout.  Captian Mike kept fresh live baits on a few rods while we casted artificial.  He was generous with switching out colors and damaged soft plastics.  As more boats started crowding around us, he had several other spots with less boat traffic for us to fish.  More importantly than the fishing, Captian Mike was great with my family and I would highly recommend him to experienced anglers or a family just looking to catch fish.

Thanks again!

Sounds Good Charters was great. Captain Mike was polite and very professional. He was all about getting the young man on our trip involved and explaining things to him and us about the fish we were going to try and catch. You could tell Captain Mike loved fishing and wanted us to have the best possible experience on his boat/trip.  That meant a lot to the 4 of us. We will definitely being using Sounds Good Charters again.

Will be using captain Mike again when we return. Took extra time with friends 11 year old son to explain everything and to teach all of us as well just fishing. Wish we would have had better weather to go earlier in our vacation or more time to go a second trip.

Our trip was better then we could have ever expected! The captain was super friendly and very knowledgeable about fishing. He explained a lot to us about the area and where and how to fish in the Outer Banks. We highly recommend this captain and his charter!
