Strong fishing for red drum, some citation size false albacore spanish, and king mackeral, flounder speckled and grey trout and more. Fall fishing is the best fishing of the year, mother nature will dictate the path we take but with more options than ever, comfy temps and hot fishing, how can you go wrong.

    Trip: Bottomfishing/Trolling Combo

  • ★★★★★
    We had the absolute best time ever. We got out there and went straight at it. Whether it was catching blues, Spanish and even sharks. It was amazing. If you’re looking to have the best experience fishing, this is your guy. We come every year here, this was our first time doing a charter. Needless to say we will be doing one with captain 🧑‍✈️ Jeff every single year from here on out.

    Trey was priceless in helping us out in a pinch! We had scheduled our company trip with another fishing charter, who ended up canceling on us last minute. Trey went above and beyond to help us find another charter in time! Our experience with Captain Shane out of Morehead NC was absolutely outstanding! They took care of us in every way making sure we all had an exciting day catching all kinds of fish and getting it all ready to take home with us. We will definitely use Trey with Captain Experience when booking our next Charter! Thank you Trey for your attention to our unique situation, we wouldn’t have pulled it off without you!

    Trip: Fishing Special - 26’ C-Hawk

  • ★★★★★
    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
