Houndog!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore3 adults2 children

Captain Artie was great! The trip was for my son's birthday and Artie kept us moving looking for the fish and keeping the kids engaged. With three of us he stayed busy and there was never any down time. Definitely recommend for targeting drum, flounder, sheepshead, and maybe even a shark if there's no other bite. Thanks, Artie!

Response from Captain

    Amazing day of fishing!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults

    Captain Artie is an expert on fishing the Cape Fear River. He put us on to some amazing spots for catching Red Drum and Black Drum. I would highly recommend taking a trip with Artie! We will definitely be booking him on our trip next year!

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults • 2 children

    My kids and I had a great time fishing with Capt. Artie. We caught plenty of fish: drum, trout, croaker, and more. He knew where to find them and was great at keeping us fishing all morning. My daughter wanted to catch her first redfish and that was very first thing we did. Afterwards, we kept talking about how great Capt. Artie was and would book another charter with him in a heartbeat.

    Variety of Fish

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults

    Capt. Artie was fantastic. We caught 10 different species of fish. He put us on fish the whole trip. Our target fish was Red Drum. We caught plenty of Red Drum. Our biggest fish of the day was a black drum. Capt Artie is a great captain and will work hard for your party to catch fish and have a good time. I highly recommend.

    Awesome start to the day!

    3 hour trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    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…

    Response from Captain

    Thank you James, it was a great day of catching! I enjoyed having you guys on the boat and look forward to your next trip. That was an awesome review and I appreciate it very much. PS, the crab claw is staying in the boat for awhile!😂

    We went out on a real windy day so we didn't really expect to do much. The captain was able to put us on some fish and we were able to catch multiple species. Overall we had a blast and couldn't of asked for a better captain. We will be back . Thanks again!
