Half-day in-shore trip...

1/2 day– Happy Crabber pm6 adults

I arranged for me, my wife, three sisters, and one of my sisters' husbands to do a half-day in-shore trip while we were doing a family vacation on the Outer Banks. We traveled out a way, started trolling, and landed a mess of Spanish Mackerel, and a couple Bluefish. Caught several Lizard Fish, too, but chucked them back in. Big huge mouths full of teeth on those Lizard Fish, LOL! Captain Ricky and his mate were fantastic. Super friendly, knew the good spots to fish, had good equipment on hand, the boat was roomy for the 6 of us, etc. I can't think of anything that would be a negative, it's all positive, and I totally recommend Free Agent Sport Fishing to anyone who wants to get out and catch some fish! Oh, and fresh-caught Spanish Mackerel on the grill seasoned with either lemon pepper or Old Bay makes for a really nice dinner...

    Couldnt have been better

    The Inlet Adventure 1/2 day Trip am • 6 adults

    Fantastic trip today with my family of 5 and Capt Ricky and First Mate Jeff. These guys are seasoned professionals and did one hell of a job putting us on a full (1/2) dsy of fish. Rods were moving all day with bites. Had several triples and quadruples. Boated 39 fish in total. Boat was comfortable and my family wore smiles all day long.
