“A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office.” Captain Jim went above and beyond trying to get us a catch, visiting multiple locations on the Intercoastal. Despite our best efforts, we were unsuccessful in snagging any flounder or drum but did catch a lizard fish and a bluefin. He was an excellent teacher, as one of our group had never cast a reel before, and was very knowledgeable about the area. We had such a great time and would absolutely book another trip with Captain Jim if we make it back to Surf City. 1,000 percent would recommend!

Booked this trip for my husband and some buddies for my husbands birthday. They all loved it! Said conversation was great, atmosphere was amazing, and they enjoyed catching fish! When booking this trip I had a ton of questions and Captain Jim answered them all promptly and made booking this trip so easy. Will definitely be using and recommending Captain Jim in the future! Thank you for making my husbands birthday special. 🎣

Captain Jim of Blue Heron showed us a great time on the water. We were able to land a number of fish and he was exceptionally patient with the less experienced anglers on the boat, providing guidance and solid instruction. He even calmly handled a situation he explicitly was hoping to avoid and did it seamlessly. Next time we venture back to Top Sail, I’ll be seeing if Jim is around the guide as to more fish!

Our fishing trip with Captain Jim was an absolute delight . We learned multiple fishing techniques , and Captain Jim took us to all of his favorite spots to maximize our luck ! And when we had an issue , Captain Jim had extra poles and kept our heads in the game . We caught a few good ones, but more importantly we had a good quality morning together as a family !
