Day trip with Captain Jimmy

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM)

Cap'n Jimmy is very knowledgeable about the local waters and worked hard to get us on the fish and keep our rods bent!! We caught reds, blue fish, mackerel, flounder, sharks, sea bass, and much more. Going near shore off the beach was an awesome time and one of our guys hooked into a monster fish that ended up winning the long fight! His charter comes with everything you need for fishing artificial lures or live bait. All you need is a cooler to bring home the fish your sure to catch! Thanks Cap'n, we'll be back!!

I enjoyed our day together on the water. It was my pleasure to watch you fight those fish and I’m glad you took some fish home to prepare for your family. Thanks for fishing with me and I look forward to our next adventure on the water.

    HARDEST WORKING CREW

    6 Hour – Swansboro Inshore Trip • 1 adult

    WENT TO NEARSHORE WATERS TO CATCH MACKERAL. THEY WERE A LITTLE SLOW BUT STEADY. MOST WERE UNDER SIZED BUT GOT A FEW KEEPERS. ONE NICE SIZED ONE. THEN WE WENT TO A DIFFERENT AREA AND TRIED SOME BOTTOM JIGGING. CAUGHT A VARIETY OF FISH THERE. NO KEEPERS THERE. DUE TO MY AGE AND HEALTH I ASKED TO GO INSHORE AND TRY SOME FISHING.' CREW AGREED EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD TO CHANGE TACKLE AND RIGS. WENT TO TRY CASTING FOR DRUM WITH NO RESULTS. MOVED NEAR A BRIDGE AND DID SOME JIGGING AND THE MATE TRIED SOME BOTTOM FISHING. GOT A FEW SMALL BOTTOM FISH. MOVED TO ANOTHER SPOT AND WE CAST FOR MACKERAL AND BLUEFISH. LOTS OF BAIT IN WATER BUT NO SUCESS. SWITCHED TO BOTTOM FISHING AGAIN. SUCESS RATE WAS GREAT, PROBABLY A DOZEN VARIETIES OF SMALL BOTTOM FISH. SOME WERE PANFISH SIZE AND COULD HAVE MADE A MEAL, CREW AND BOAT WERE GOOD FOR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN FOR A BOTTOM FISHING TRIP. LOTS OF BITES AND CREW VERY ATTENTIVE!

    Very knowledgeable captain. He kept us on the fish all day. He made a rough day on the water amazing by moving and finding the fish. I cannot recommend him enough. I can’t wait to get on the water with him again.
