We had a fantastic trip. First and foremost, the captain cared about our comfort. The day we were supposed to fish the weather was cold and extremely windy. The captain provided us with an alternative day so we could have a better experience. When we did start our trip, my 83 year old Dad shared that he was cold and the captain whipped out a spare coat.

The captain was great with two rambunctious and excited boys (8 and 10). He provided them age appropriate task and knew how to keep them busy even in the down time. The best were his one liners about how long it takes to catch the shark!

I also want to note that the captain was great at handling our party that had multiple generations. He showed everyone how to get on the boat properly whether they were old or young and had great rules regarding safety.

I would highly recommend A Live One to all looking for a comfortable and fun time.

Captain Blair provided an awsome day on the water. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why. I had three curious teenage boys. All three caught a shark. We saw manta rays and dolphin. We went on a four hour trip which included cast netting for bait. It was all inshore so the water was relativley smooth. A plus!

We first found menhaden for live bait.  The other captains worked together to locate the menhaden up around Corn Island. We then set out toward the Broad River almost down the coast even w HH airport.  Capt Blair was noting how we were early enough to use the high tide change to low tide for the fish to swim against the tide to catch fish.  This worked brilliantly as we actually sat between 2 sand bars and anchored. We tried whole menhaden as well as cut bait.  Cut bait proved to be the winner as we ended up finding a school of fine toothed sharks. My son caught/released 2, I caught/released 1, and my younger we believe he caught one but it got off before we could get it close enough to the boat.  Considering we were catching shark, their razor sharp teeth were cutting the line 3-4 times when we were close to the boat.  My 7 yr old and 12 yr old both had a blast and Capt Blair was very patient and explained to them very well and showed/taught them new things about fishing.
  Would definitely go back out, and certainly recommend Capt Blair.  Our was a shorter 2 hr stint, as I wasn’t sure how the boys would take for their first one.  He does 2, 3, 5 and even deep sea tours as well.

Captain is very personable, knowledgeable and professional. He created a fun and relaxed atmosphere! He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time possible! I will be sure to book again with and recommend you book with him!
