Jill Louise Headboat – 50' Evans 

Captain Dave and Cole were amazing! we had almost 20 in our party. They kept people safe and bait on the hooks! They knew all of the best spots! We ended up bringing home 59 fish! We were able to clean thr fish right there at the dock and had to them for dinner that night! It was a fun and rewarding experience! Not only would I recommend them and this trip, i would go back out with them again and again when im in the OBX. Definiately consider them if you want to catch some fish!

Our family included my parents (70+), my brother (41) and his kids (6 & 8), and myself (42) and my husband (47). There is a wide range of freshwater fishing experience in our crowd, but none of us have much experience with saltwater. We also happened to be in the area the week that a tropical storm was passing by offshore (Imelda), so there was more wind and waves than usual. The crew were attentive to our needs and abilities. They made sure that we were able to catch fish AND feel good. Though we didn't end up going far off shore, we still ended up in some pretty choppy water which caused two of us to feel out of sorts. The captain noticed and offered to take us back into the sound. He explained that we'd likely feel better, but we'd catch different (and likely smaller fish), so the experience would be much different. We appreciated his attention to our condition, honest assessment, and the opportunity to choose how to proceed. We did opt to move into the sound where everyone felt much better. We seemed to catch fewer fish in the sound, and they were smaller, but with everyone feeling good we had a much better time. We are eager to try again hopefully with calmer seas!

captain Dave and Cole were awsome. had 4 grandsons age 7-11 and all caught fish. 29 total. Cole was great explaining how what and why to the kids with everyting he did. and he worked his butt off keepin up with all the fish they were catching. boat is great, smooth ride and roomy. even later in the day when waves started getting large it was great. overall awesome first ocean fish trip for grandsons.

The trip was awesome, Captain Dave kept us moving around to get fish in the boat and Cole worked his tail off setting and changing lines. At the end of the trip we 4 gaffer mahi, a shark, black seabass and blueline tilefish. Everyone on the boat had a blast. Despite their beat efforts the tuna weren’t cooperating for us to haul any in, but again we had a blast.

Captain Dave and Cole were great. They worked hard to get us in good fishing areas, were clear and thorough in their instructions, and made it a great time for all, especially the kids!
