John Abel Manteo, North Carolina Reported: 3 years ago

Been a bit since last report, ran a few offshore trips before I left for Ohio. Had Wounded Warrior Project bring 10 vets down and ran them on 3 boats. Great day, lots of enjoyment but the troll bite was slow, we had a blast swimming and horse assin around at the end of the day. Next day ran offshore, trolled up 37 small blackfin, landed 2 out of 3 wahoo as well. Also had a trip we did some sea bass and amberjack fishing, it's all a blur so not sure what day was what, but it's been fun!!! The drum fishing has been great at night as well and that should stay solid through Sept into Oct.

It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

Thanks for the trip had fun and the first mate was awesome. He made sure the kids had fun and how to use all the equipment and educated everyone. The welds on the boat were spectacular.

Trip: Yellowfin & Mahi Mahi Combo
★★★★★
CPT John is a highly experience captain and fisherman who put us right on the tuna and tile fish. We landed 4 nice yellow fin and our limit of blue tile fish. Though he operated a smaller offshore boat, it performed perfectly and safely in 3-4 foot seas 30 miles offshore. He even dressed our fish upon return. I higjly recommend CPT John for any fishing excursion.

We had a memorable experience. While pre-ttip communication could have been better and the boat condition now versus photos on the website, we caught all we wanted. Good fun and Mate Tom was knowledgeable and accommodating.
