My son and I had a wonderful fishing charter with Captain Artie. Thane caught multiple species that he had not caught before. While the fish were not biting very much, Artie knew multiple spots out to sea and in the back water where we did make some great catches.

Captain Artie is a pro!! He’s a great guide and a wonderful personality! We caught plenty of fish, but I would have had a blast anyway and would definitely recommend this trip to everyone despite their knowledge of fishing. Captain Artie did a brilliant job with our grandson as well…

Captain Artie was amazing. we lit out and within 15 minutes we were catching croaker and flounder. Although it wasn’t flounder season and we couldn’t keep them it was still a great time. Then we scooted around some other spots and caught a few fish here and there. Then he put us on the red drum! That was so amazing to catch these big boys while fishing with my twin 20-year-old sons. We had a blast. This Captain knows what he’s doing so if you want a good fishing trip at a reasonable cost…... More

awesome experience! Captain went out of his way to ensure a good time. caught at least one of every species possible minus a flounder. Very patient with my boys and ensured they were continually baited and in target. highly recommend. amazing experience.
