Had a wonderful morning with Captain Atkinson at Quail Hollow. Departure dock was easy to find and park bathrooms were open at 7:30AM. We left promptly at 8AM and went out trolling for trout on weighted line, spoons, and even a handline!

Captain had three trolling combos and one handline going at all times. He showed our teenage son how to retrieve and lay out the line and our son loved to release the trout.

Captain also shared observations about the birds (Grebe, Loon, Seagulls sighted) and also about the Peregrine Falcons over snacks of berries and jerky.

We caught and released 14 nice trout and probably lost 6 more as we lost them on the retrieve.

Highly recommended morning! I’m an advanced fisher and my son and husband are occasional. We all caught and released fish!

From start to finish, this fishing trip was absolutely fantastic. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and prepared. The equipment was top-notch, and everything was well organized, which made the day stress-free and enjoyable.

Not only did we catch plenty of fish, but we also learned so much about the local waters and fishing techniques. The captain were patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. The scenery was stunning, and the entire atmosphere was both relaxing and exciting.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, this is the perfect experience. I walked away with great memories, beautiful photos, and of course, an amazing catch! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and rewarding day on the water.

Just what the Dr ordered. we always try to fish somewhere whne on vacation. I was surprised when i saw we were trolling but all worked out when the fish started biting. We caught a bunch of trout. Captain Damon was good enough to filet 6 for us to rake back and feed the family.

Capt. Damon was a joy. we had a great morning on the water.

Had a great time with Captain D started out slow but finished strong full limit
Captain D knew all the stuff and make sure we caught fish changing it up slowing it down. He shows that he has the experience of over 30 years Fishing.Had a great time and do it again.
