Hi captain Jamie here. Anglers have enjoyed good fishing for red drum in the upper slot size and over in the last few weeks and should only get better with big spacing fish, "bulls" should follow along late August and into September. Flounder fishing is good now as well. People need to go ahead and book now for the 2 week season beginning Sept 1. At that time everyone goes home with a nice un!!! There is an early Morning speckled trout bite on topwater and then falls off but get great in the months to come and last all...

My 4 Hour Nearshore bottom-fishing trips are producing keeper Sea Bass. I expect the Atlantic Bonito and Gray Trout to show up at the nearshore reefs any day now. And my inshore trips are producing slot-sized reds and we caught our first flounder of the year today (4/1/26). So, Spring has sprung!

Trip: Little River On Light Tackle
★★★★★
Captain Drew took us out on a fantastic half day inshore trip. I took my son (9 y/o) and one of my buddies from college. His boat was super clean and well equipped for our charter. He had all the tackle we needed for successful time on the water. This guy knows how to fish: within 10 minutes of getting to our first spot, we already had a fish on the line: an over slot red drum. The second drum was a keeper and Drew kindly fileted it for us afterward (red drum grilled on the half shell is now one of my favorites). We moved to a few different spots throughout the morning and all together we caught about 9 fish. We let all but one go. Captain Drew really knows these waters and he was able to cater to more novice anglers and kids (my son and i) as well as more experienced anglers (my buddy) on the same trip. If i make it back to the carolina coast again, I would absolutely book Captain Drew

Had a great time fishing with these guys, caught more fish than the last three years combined on the big party boats. Trey and Roger were awesome and knew how to catch fish.

Trip: Lake Waccamaw & Waccamaw River Bass
★★★★★
My son, my friends and their kids all had an awesome time with Captain Ryan and his first mate Beau. Every part of the experience was enjoyable, from scheduling and communicating all the way through, walking away with some giant bags full of nicely filleted Spanish mackerel. Captain Ryan is an expert in these waters, knows exactly how to efficiently navigate them and put you in the position to catch a bunch of fish while having a great time. He and Beau work together seamlessly. Beau was expertly handling the three lines we had in the water, was extremely patient with the kids who were eager to be very hands-on, and tremendously efficient in removing the fish from the lines and getting them back in the water quickly. We walked out with 14 keepers, but had many more on the line throughout the day, which made it extremely engaging and exciting. The boat was super clean, easily access and equipped with anything we needed. In total, A+ experience and we will definitely be booking with him again next time we are in townz

Cody was great to communicate with ahead of time and was even better on the water. He was patient with our group as we learned a different way of catching fish than we're used to. We had a great time and would recommend him to anyone interested in a fishing charter.
