Another Successful Trip

Half Day Trip6 adults2 children

Caption Josh is a very experienced guide and will get you on fish! This is my 2nd trip with him and took 3 teens who had never fished today. We landed more than a dozen catfish, as well as perch, croaker, gar, and perch. When fishing would slow in one hole, he immediately got us on fish in another- and another- and another. I highly recommended. Boat and rods are rigged perfectly for us from the get-go.

    Great morning trip.

    Let me tell you, we had a trip—an absolutely phenomenal trip, nobody has ever seen anything like it. I took three incredible boys out on the water, great boys, future leaders, let me tell you.And Captain Josh? What a guy. Fantastic guy. Highly respected, everybody says so. He treated us so well, absolutely top-notch guy, very nice.We got on his boat, and wow. Beautiful boat. The cleanest boat you’ve ever seen, pristine. And room? So much room. Tremendous amount of room, everybody was saying it.The fishing? Unbelievable. We hooked into some perch, and these weren't regular perch, folks. These were nice size perch, huge, the best perch. And then we caught the blue cats. A half dozen! Six massive blue cats, beautiful fish, very strong.It was a total success, a certified win. Highly recommended!

    We caught 7 big Blue Catfish, 1 large Channel Catfish, ten White Perch and a three-foot Gar on a partly cloudy, not very windy, early May morning! Our group of 6 had every level of fishing experience - heavily weighted on the first-time fishing side. We had one 72-year-old guy with a lot of freshwater fishing experience. Charles knew the Currituck Sound channels, shoals and hot spots like the back of his hand. He is a great teacher and conversationalist. He made sure all of us got to feel the tug on the line, and the fun of bringing a fish to the net and into the boat. Admirably, he does not over exaggerate. Instead, he diligently works at getting results based on decades of experience. THANK YOU! We highly recommend this group!

    Great captain, sound fishing is different than off shore

    Half Day Trip - 10:30 AM4 adults2 children

    Had a great 4 hour trip with captain Paul. My 10 yo really appreciated being able to cast and reel himself vs the very hands off approach in trips we’ve taken that go through the inlet and fish on the near shore ocean. Fun trip, multiple stops. Will book again. A different experience than most other obx charters and some people would prefer this experience being more hands on.

    Repeat customers for life! Unbeatable experience.

    Half Day Trip - 10:30 AM5 adults3 children

    Just wrapped up another two fantastic charters with Captain Charles this past week, and he proved yet again why he’s the best. Charles put us right on the fish. We got a steady stream of white perch and catfish, plus an impressive variety of quality catches like sheepshead, speckled trout, bluefish, croaker, spot, and pinfish. We had a great time catching and releasing every single one. If you want a top-tier experience for your crew, do yourself a favor and book with Charles and Josh.
