First time ever fishing in the ocean and he planned a route that didn’t disappoint at all. Majority of the people that came had no fishing experience. He was extremely helpful/kind. We will certainly be returning and fishing with Artie again!

We booked a charter with Capt Artie while on vacation in Oak Island. Captain Artie couldn’t have been more accommodating. We caught tons of black drum, flounder, reds and other fish. Artie put us right in the middle of a school of black drum and even though our charter should have been over he continued letting us fish because the fishing was just too good to leave! We all had a great time and appreciate your persistence in always finding the fish. I’ll definitely book you again during... More

Even though fish were challenging, Arti pursued spots and we made the best of the spots catching black drum.  Beautiful day and great, safe experience.  Clearly knowledgeable.

My 15 y/o son and I enjoyed our trip with Captain Artie.  It’s always hit or miss during the colder months.  But Captain moved us around to several spots and we were able to catch nearly 30 fish that included 10+ keeper black drum and a few other species.  We had a great time.

My step dad and I had a blast today with Captain Phillips and Hounddog fishing. Knowledgeable, experienced, and a fun person to spend the day fishing with. I can’t recommend this charter enough. We hit so many spots caught several flounder and reds with one red being around 40 inches. If you get the chances bo this charter you won’t be disappointed.
