I started commercial fishing with my grandfather and fell in love with it. My family goes way back, with many generations working as fishermen. I became a charter captain so I could show others how to fish and enjoy the bounty of our oceans.

    Fantastic trip with the grandkids eight years old, and 10 years old, a memory that they will never forget

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    3 bushels of crabs and 1 bushel of shrimps. The weather started getting rough and the captain was very safe. The kids enjoyed this trip so so much. This is the first time they were ever on a boat in the sound, and they were very comfortable with the crew. This experiences have been the best part of our trip to the Outer Banks. Thank you, Captain Russ, and first mate Mike.

    Great half day on the water

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    Wanted a quick trip for me and my two sons. Something that guaranteed some action, not sitting around watching the tip of a fishing pole. This shrimping trip was perfect! Everyone was busy pulling the net in, sorting the catch, feeding baitfish to the birds. Captain and mate were knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the process! I highly recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Shrimp
    Crab

    Shrimp and crab for dinner!

    2 hr. Shrimp and crab • 4 adults

    We had a great trip this morning with Captain Russell and Mike! We were hoping for enough shrimp for dinner and we got more than enough and even got crab! Russell and Mike were great! Definitely recommend! We’ll definitely be back for another trip. Next time we’ll do a longer fishing trip. Perfect for families or any shrimp lover !

Pastrmke su se definitivno vratile, kao i Red Drum u priobalju. Međutim, kada je lepo vreme, ništa ne može da nadmaši akciju sa tunama na pučini! Zaputite se ka Golfskoj struji i uživajte u ovim grdosijama!
