Great trip!

Half Day Trip – Inshore Ocean/Sound - 10:30 AM6 adults

Had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Paul and First Mate Paul! Both were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. The fishing was excellent, and their friendly attitude made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend booking a trip with them!

Thank you very much Alisha, you and your family we're a pleasure to have fishing with us today. I wish we had a little more action for you, as it was a bit slower than we would've liked. Thanks again, hopefully we'll see you in the near future.

    Good catch!

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore Ocean4 adults

    I have been fishing in the OBX for years and after the last few years I made it a point to find a new captain. I explicitly stated I did not want to come back with nothing but blue fish. Obviously there is no way to just catch one type of fish in the ocean and Paul let helped give other suggestions like offshore and wreckage trips. However, we were more keen to stay inshore on this trip. All in all we caught 4 blues and the others were spanish mackerel (what I was looking for). I am not sure if we just got lucky or this was due in part to captain Paul knowing the area so well. Either way I couldn’t have been happier with our trip and would recommend him to others! Little Paul was great too! Oneal’s was also fantastic for fresh fish we did not catch and wanted.

    Thank you Dan, you guy's were a pleasure to have fishing with us, and even though we didn't kill it, it was a great time! As far as my strategy, you told me multiple times that you didn't want Bluefish, so yes, it was my plan to do what I did, I just wish it was a little better than what it was, but I definitely wasn't disappointed in our catch, it was definitely pretty good for what the morning was. We hope to see back in the near future. Thanks again

    a good time

    Half Day Trip – Inshore Ocean/Sound - 10:30 AM4 adults

    Both Captain Paul and First Mate Paul were friendly and accommodating. Captain Paul was communicative before the trip and the first mate was a wealth of knowledge during. Great trip for beginners. At some times we had all four fishing poles with catch on them. Wear sunscreen and comfy clothes. Flip flops were fine. We caught blue fish and spanish mackerel.

    Great time and a lot of fish

    Half Day Trip – Inshore Ocean/Sound - 10:30 AM6 adults2 children

    We recently went on a fishing trip and had an amazing experience! Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable, knowing exactly where to take us so the fish were biting. We caught plenty and had a great time from start to finish. One thing that really stood out was how considerate the captain was, especially since we had a young child with us. He made sure to keep things safe and fun for everyone, even taking a moment to stop and give our little one the chance to pull in his own fish — which absolutely made his day! Between the great fishing, the captain’s expertise, and the thoughtful touches that made the trip enjoyable for all ages, we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend!

    Thank you very much, we take a lot of pride in what we do. We love to have all kinds of groups on the boat, from experienced to beginners, and everything in between, but our favorite is children! My boy's were very young when I introduced them to fishing, and now one of them (Paul) is my mate, and works very hard to make sure everyone is included and has a great time. It was a pleasure to have you guys on the boat, and hope to see you back in the near future. Dziekuje!!

    I Love These Guys!

    Full Day – Wreck / Deepwater Bottom1 adult

    Once again, they listened to what I was interested in catching and then worked really hard to make it happen. They tried different places, rigs, etc., and not only did I have a blast, but I have a bunch of fish for the freezer. Besides all that, the boat is comfortable, and this father-son team are both so nice, respectful, and hard working.

    Thank you Brian, it was a pleasure having you back, the tide was a little tough, but we managed to put together a decent catch for you. We hope to see you again, in the future.
