Still not sure where we ended up, but we had a worthy place. Must've been in the top 15. Either way proud to have been a part of this five tournament since the start.
Some highlights from the past few weeks charters barring Lil' Debby and pesky Drum Tournaments.
A little Highlight reel of some of my recent charters. Simply some of best clients I could hope for.
I've decided I'll be streamlining my charters moving forward for the foreseeable future. If your looking for an experience.... I'm your guy. That's how and why I started and that's what I'm going to be focusing on moving forward.
October is nearly booked for me. Some backwater and lots of False Albacore.
Catch the Tradition!
Albacore dates are going already, backwater fishing opportunities are solid as well for October and November. Get on the calendar let's get out there!
Old Drum season is winding up. I still have some August and September dates available. Last year was blah, but 2024 is shaping up nicely. Book now.
October is booking up! Fall fishing prime months, October and most of November. Plan now, if you wait there might not be any availability. September-November are simply the best months on the Crystal Coast!
Pretty decent view from the office this morning.
Happy Independence Day Folks!!
Stay safe and keep all those fingers.
Adding booked dates in the calendar for this Autumn's Old Drum season today. 6 dates gone! September is prime month with latter August having good opportunities.
Sometimes you get so caught up in the grind you lose a little of what you love. It takes a few tough seasons and some self searching, then some really awesome repeat clients and friends to remind you why you started this silly quest and what really matters. Simple, sharing your passion with others and showing them little pieces of your love for your home. Repeat families and others searching for more, you're what makes me do this, you're why I started this whole deal. Thank you! So if you are eternally searching, I'm your guide for a few steps. Come see my home and I'll do my best to give it all for you.

I forgot how wonderful it is to share the beauty of my home with good friends. Turks and Caicos doesn't have much on this area when it's right. If ya know, ya know! Thank you Sammy Howell for having the family for the ride.

Topwater morning stud!
Had a strong morning full of aggressive eats but as the day moved on, our bite got tough. Thanks for putting the time in with me Brian!
And thank you Jodi Garner for the referral! Brian was a great guy to share the morning with!
Life is short, enjoy the view and don't run from the challenge.
Sure enjoyed fishing a few days with my son who has made me a Papa in my 40's. Glad these shallow water tanks were feisty.
Springtime Tails!
Eastern NC Sightfishing!
Absolute units of 30-40" adult Bluefish from less than waist deep water. Absolutely demolishing top water plugs.
Capt. Joe Tunstall, of , found this 27” speckled trout near Harkers Island while fishing with a MirroDine 28 Wade.
Joe is regularly a featured Captain on our Inshore Fishing Reports and is one of the most knowledgeable minds in his area. If you’re planning on hitting the water near Eastern NC, Joe can help put you on some fish!
Warmer weather, longer days, short sleeves and great scenery!
Bluewater reds for Chad!
Sometimes you just gotta get outta the boat. Topwater trout, just another reason we love spring here on the Crystal Coast!
While we're cruising the beaches and shoals, keeping an eye open often pays dividends in the Spring. Sightfishing schools of old drum staging up busting topwaters isn't too shabby. Come fish with experience.
Spring is popping along! Bookings are going in the calendar.
Come sightfishing with us and watch your topwater plug get demolished!
Stop by the the Greenville Convention center and check out my guys at the Black Ops booth # 84 and pick up some great gear and my custom box, hang out and talk fishing.

Pre storm bite wasn't what we expected. Bait everywhere, predators not so much. Dug in paid our dues and target acquired. Thankful for good clients who kept grinding.
