This was our first experience deep sea fishing. Capt, Laplante made sure we were all comfortable and enjoying the trip. We learned a lot from the Captain by answering all of our questions. The boat has a bathroom (highly recommended) and the twin 250hp engines got us out in the deep sea fast. We ventured further out and caught two sharks. We had an excellent first experience and would recommend Sea J’s Fishing charters to anyone…! We are getting ready for our next experience…Thanks for everything Captain!....until then

Thank you’d can’t wait to take you out again!!! Captain Justin
This was our first trip fishing on the ocean. We had a great time with Captain Justin, he was very personable, courteous and knowledgeable. He knew where to find the fish and kept on the fish. We caught several Spanish mackerel and blue drum. Capt Justin finished up out trip by taking us to restaurant where they fileted our fish and cooked them up fresh for us to eat. We can’t wait to come back next year to fish and we will definitely be using Capt Justin. Thank you Capt Justin for a great day on the water.

Thanks for choosing us for your first time, look forward to many more trips! Glad you guys had a wonderful time, you all were great!
We had probably the best trip EVER! I am not sugar coating it one bit! The captain and first mate were some of the most laid back people we could have been on the water with! They took us to all the hot spots for the fish and the icing on the cake my son was hunting for shark and landed a 300lb shark right at the end because THEY MADE IT HAPPEN! We will definitely be returning and we couldn’t have asked for a better trip!! Thank you guys for the once in a lifetime experience!
Fantastic! Thanks for the great review, thrilled you had a great time! Look forward to taking you guys back out!
We were visiting family when we booked a last minute trip with Sea J’s Fishing Charters on the day before Thanksgiving. The forecast called for cold temperatures in the morning so we decided on a ½ day trip starting at 1:00 to grab as much heat and sun as possible. We met the captain and his boat at the dock where the engines were already idling and ready for our departure. The winds were calm so Captain Justin decided to give us a special treat by heading out 25 miles in search of premium fishing grounds. No sooner than we got the gear set, the fish started biting. We didn’t have time to think before the first Blue Fin Tuna was on board. This was followed by more tuna and aggressive King Mackerel. Captain Justin kept saying you never know what you might catch in the Atlantic Ocean which was proven true when I reeled in a King which was attacked by a bigger fish on its way to the boat. Needless to say, we ended up with only the head of the King. We also saw an aggressive Barracuda as well as a huge Cobia following one of our Kings to the boat. We even spotted a shark in search of an easy meal. After some successful trolling, we switched to bottom fishing which resulted in a beautiful, out-of-season Red Snapper but we ended up catching Black Sea Bass and Vermilion Snapper. It was non-stop excitement and energy on the boat and Captain Justin was the perfect host on his brand new Sea Hunt boat with twin 250 hp Yamaha’s. He kept our hooks baited with squid, whole sardines and large cigar minnows. Our hands, arms and muscles were sore from all of the fish we caught. The boat was in perfect condition and it made me confident of our safety. Plus, it had a clean head area with flushing toilet for my wife. This is one feature I would recommend for any charter on the ocean. Captain Justin had a designated guest cooler for beverages and any food we wanted to keep cool. In the end, we never had time to eat or drink except for the times we moved for a new drift. He even kept a baited rod in the water as we moved areas which proved to be fruitful with several Kings being caught with this method. These particular fish were caught on light tackle which is such a thrill! The attached video was one of those fights on light tackle. It was so nice to be on a fast, clean, top-notch boat that allowed us to get to the fishing grounds quicker than most other boats. My wife and I would highly recommend Captain Justin. Rather than work for someone else, Captain Justin recently decided to start his new, independent fishing charter business and I am confident anyone that books a trip with him will find a similar experience. Captain Justin is not new to fishing in North Carolina but he is very focused on providing a unique, better-than-expected fishing experience.

Sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate the way we plan, but we we made the change and Captain Justin still put us on some fish! Didn’t make it out the distance we had planned for due to weather, but had a great time! I would recommend Captain Justin and his Sea J’s Charters if you are looking for a good fishing experience and expertise on the water! We will definitely book with again! Very honest and upfront company! Plays some great music on the boat as well to get ya rocking! Thanks!!
Look forward to taking you guys out again! Hopefully next time we can make up that distance! Thanks for coming out you guys were great.
