Nothing short of an amazing experience. The Captain and his partner were so kind, and fun. We enjoyed the fishing, but the conversation was great, as well. I highly recommend Fugitive Fishing!
Also, as a highlight - we all caught sharks. My grandfather caught a shark that was over 5/6 feet. This is something he will always remember, and we as a family will treasure! Thank you, Fugitive Fishing!

Capt Ryan and his Mate were fantastic, but as he had already explained the day beforeโฆโThe fish just may not be cooperating.โ.....which for the most part they were not.
We caught 2 Spanish Mackerel, one Bonito and one Shark.
But as they say, โEven a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.โ (LOL)ย And thatโs why they call it โFishingโ and not โCatchingโ.
The boat is old and in need of some upkeep and fishing tackle (rods and reels) is okay but has seen better days.
Things were definitely in better shape 11 years ago when we went out with The Fugitive and Capt. Ryan.
All in all, it was still a very relaxing day and well worth the experience.

Great afternoon with moderate seas.ย Captain Ryan put us on the fish right way with a two species fish hook up on the down rigger rod which was a first for him and myself.ย While the Gag Grouper and Black Sea Bass where to small for keeping it was still a memorable experience. Coming back to port in the ICW just off Southport we encountered a large pod of porpoises feeding.ย Captain Ryan slowed and idled through for us to see them all which topped off a great half day on the Fugitive.
Thanks Captain Ryan for a great afternoon with my Family.

We had a fun experience on this boat. We had a group mix of two experienced anglers, with 3 that are new to the sport. No one was catching fish that day and the same was true for other boats on the radio.
My dad is an experienced angler and had his own ideas about what we should have done but thatโs why we were on the charter.ย My only issue is that the first mate was not engaged at all.
He had an AirPod in and was on his phone the majority of the trip. We tried to engage with him and he was responsive to some direct questions but not much else. We wonโt be employing a charter with a first mate like this anymore. We are a better fit for a more versatile center console
But again this was just a tough day on the water. Thatโs fishing!
