    Great Captain

    6 Hour Trip – Neuse River & Pamlico2 adults

    Captain Dave took us around multiple areas. He is an interesting person and we enjoyed our morning. Sadly, the fish weren’t biting but he did all he could to find them. We will use him again.

    Afternoon trip turns late night fight with a old drum

    Trophy Bull Drum Evening Trip2 adults

    Excellent trip overall. Would recommend. Our trip took place on a day where we had Dave put us on every bait ball we could find. Stayed committed to finding the older red drum with every strategy in the book. Hooked on at 7:34 and we fought one large fish until 9:40. Dave was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and patient to help us land the fish. Fish came in but outsmarted our man. I’ve never seen such thick line break but guess that’s what happens after a 2:06 hr fight and a few runs around structure, the boat, motor. Hope to fish with Dave again soon! Fishing in Oriental was nothing like I’ve ever done and I’m saltwater fishing 30+ weeks per year.

    THE guide

    6 Hour Trip – Trophy Redfish/Tarpon

    This dude knows his stuff. Fishing was great, but beyond that I would say his company is fantastic. Certainly the kind of guy that I'd like to have a couple of beers with. Real personable and friendly - and I've fished with many guides I can't say the same about. Dave knows the fishing but also knows the entire area and history well. Real conversational and talkative. I would take a group of guys out to fish with him again, or even take my young kids as I know he would be great with them, teaching and displaying patience. Can't recommend him highly enough. We'll be back.

    Fishing Trip

    3 Hour Trip – Neuse River & Pamlico3 adults

    Had a great time with Capt. Dave. Even though we didn’t catch any fish we really enjoyed learning a lot from him. We saw lots of birds, dolphins and scenery. Will definitely go w Capt. Dave again when it is a bit warmer.

    Response from Captain

    Great group today! Had a ball! Thanks again! 🏴‍☠️☠️🎣
