Weโre a family of four with two sons (19 and 16) who enjoy fishing. We booked the 3p-7p evening trip and had a great time with Captain Mike! Even though we werenโt new to fishing, Mike took the time to go over casting basics and tips.ย When someone made a mistake, he had a great attitude and had fun with it. Best of all, though, Mike knew where to find the fish.ย In our four hours, he took us to three different locations and we were landing fish in all three spots.ย In fact, each of us caught our daily limitโฆwhich was more than we had expected.ย Mike also took the time to tell us about the areas where we were fishing and WHY those areas were successful.ย That kind of knowledge will help us on many future fishing trips.ย Even though our โkidsโ are no longer young, we could tell Mike would be great with younger kids, too.ย So, weโd highly recommend his services for any family looking for a fun and productive day on the water!

Great fishing with a great family! Thanks so much!
Ok, March is very early in the fishing season. We, along with other people out on the water, did not catch anything. It did start to rain and a lil lightning,ย so we ended a little early.
It was our familyโs first charter fishing and we did not know what to expect. So, even though we did not catch anything, we still had alot of fun.
Capt. Mike filled in the dead time wit information about the area. Including Capt. Blackbeard and his run ins with the royal navy. The Wright Brothers. Local fishing crazes. Fishing techniques. Changes to the area over the years. Different types of boats and thier purposes. Conservation of the wildlife.
We plan to schedule another trip with Capt. Mike and hope we have better luck in October. That is usually the best time for fishing in the sound.

It was a great to have guests that were new to the OBX, and tell them all about the paradise I am blessed to live in! I enjoyed teaching everyone and I am excited that are going to return!! Thanks so much! Captain Mike
Fun fishing trip, but we had a day that the fish were not biting at all. The Captain was fine but next time I would choose someone who likes being around kids.
It was a tough day of fishing but we managed to catch some nice Trout. I enjoyed teaching Addy and Garrett how to fish and they did well. Of course, I enjoy being around children and having taught middle school and coached both baseball and soccer for 20 years, I think itโs obvious.
We found the fish first thing and put them in the boat with a few good size one in the mix. My seven year old caught two completely on her own. Captain Mike set her perfect so she could do it all on her own. She does have experience but not in this style of fishing l. The rains came in hard and we all for soaked but that did stop anyone. Now we are eating fresh fish that way delicious. Thanks Captain.
Brian and Meadow you are die hard fishers!! Thanks so much for fishing with me!
Captain Mike was great! We met at the Avalon Boat Ramp in Kill Devil Hills and fished in the bay. The weather was not entirely on our side. It was cloudy, but we were fortunate to have a calm day with little wind. This was our Grandson, Austinโs first chartered fishing experience.ย The catch for the day was a White Perch.ย Austin told Captain Mike, it is not always about catching fish, but about just being on the water. Captain Mike was very friendly, and knowledgeable.ย A good time was had by all.

I really enjoyed fishing with Chris and Austin and there was nothing I wanted more than to see Austin Russell with a big fish. Unfortunately, the fishing did not cooperate on that beautiful day but we did enjoy ourselves and had a nice time together. I hope yโall come back and see me!
