Capt Ray is incredibly knowledgeable, courteous and professional. During my two day trip, Capt Ray was able to overcome very tough conditions and not only did he put me on the reds we were able to nail some over slot fish on top water. Not to be out done, he then made a run to the beach side where we able to land a 25lb gag grouper.  Highly recommend Spring Tide for experienced and novice fishermen alike.  I’ll be going back out with this great guide.

Great trip with Captain Ray! I realized a week before our trip that I accidentally booked labor day weekend. Captain Ray called me the day before the trip and was honest about the boat traffic and fishing not being great because he didn’t want to take me on a trip that may not be successful, which I greatly appreciated. We decided to go anyway because I had family traveling for the trip. Despite the waters being busy Captain Ray found a spot where the reds were going CRAZY. If he can find reds... More

Captain Ray was a great host and captain! He made sure to find the best spots for us to catch fish and made sure my son (10) had a great experience.  I would.highly recommend for anyone looking good for a friendly and professional captain on your fishing trip!

Ray’s knowledge of local Topsail fishing habitat, rigs, techniques is amazing. We learned how to read our bites. We hooked several drums and a flounder. And got a couple keepers fileted for dinners.  Definitely will be going out with Ray again.

Had a great time with Captain Ray, my son and I had never saltwater fished before. Ray was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared for anything we could catch. I highly recommend using spring tide guide service and will definitely be back with Captain Ray in the future.
