3/4 Day Trip – Mid-shore6 adults

Captain and crew was excellent. It ended up being a slow fishing day. Overall experience was good, just wished we could have had a few more on the line.

    Offshore Trolling and Wreck Fishing2 adults

    Went out for mahi, bite was not there. Started wreck/bottom for flounder and sea bass and immediately got into the action. Ed and Jan knew where the fish were and kept the action all morning and afternoon. Great trip and great crew!

    a great day out of Rudee Inlet

    Canyon Trolling and Deep Dropping6 adults

    Payback put us on the fish early and didnt let up! We boated flounder, black bass, bonita, and a monster amber jack. weather was spotty and the waves challenging - but a full box of fish makes up for that!

    Response from Charter operator

    Great boat and crew.

    Mahi Mahi Full Day6 adults

    It was a good day. 21 Sea Bass, 2 large Flounder, and a nice Trigger. Captain David and First Mate Tim were top-notch. Nice boat. Great hospitality and very attentive. We had rescheduled twice for weather and work, so too late for Mahi and Tuna. We wanted to get a trip in before the end of the year, so we decided to go wreck fishing instead. I think this year we'll do a better job getting out there in time for Mahi, but certainly with this crew and boat.

    100% you will not go wrong with this boat

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore (PM)2 adults

    Captain James knows what he’s talking about he took us out there within 10 minutes of putting lines in the water we were pulling fish left and right controlled chaos is a good thing. Captain James and his deckhand Hunter that we had of that time knew what they were talking about and put us on the fish immediately they were friendly cared about our safety and most of all made sure that we had fun. Before I got off the boat at the end of the trip I knew that I want to take this boat out again so I hundred percent would go back out again with this crew if you’re ever in the Virginia Beach area and think about taking a boat out go with Captain James he’ll get you out there for a good fun filled day and For memories that last a lifetime

    Knowledgeable and patient

    Canyon Trolling and Deep Dropping3 adults

    Had a sea sick fisherman, an elderly fisherman, So it was good to have Tim, the mate, who was super knowledgeable on technique, and was an absolute professional, and Dave the captain to put us on fish. I would highly recommend these guys for anyone looking to stick the freezer

    Response from Charter operator

    Great to have you guys.
