Did really good during the NC flounder season (Sept 1-14) we’re mostly chasing bull reds the rest of the time in the Neuse river and Pamlico Sound, with some slot reds and speckled trout in the mix. We have had a few encounters with Cobia, good casting action for Spanish mackerel, and false albacore as well.

Captain Mike knew exactly where to take us to ensure we caught fish! Mike gave us a lot of useful information and was super nice. We caught Spanish mackerel, Blue fish, Black Sea bass, Black tip sharp, and several others. We really enjoyed our trip and highly recommend Captain Mike!

Frank was great. We hit the water early and saw a beautiful sunrise. We drift fished a few places and didn’t have any luck. He then found a spot with blues hitting the bait but we got skunked today. It was still a great day on the water. I highly recommend Frank.

Fishing trip with Captain Jimmy Pititti on Pamlico sound was a pleasant experience! We had some fun and close sightings with Dolphins but not much fish that day. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your vast knowledge of local history. Terri Lynn Boyd

Had a great time fishing with Captain Jimmy, caught a bluefish and a spotted sea trout on our morning outing. We only needed to bring ourselves and a cooler of drinks and snacks, he handled the rest, including poles, rigging, and fixing tangled & snapped lines. We only wish we would have planned our trip in spring or fall so we could catch even more fish, but we were satisfied with what we caught for the time of year (late July) and the recent very hot conditions. Highly recommended experience with Captain Jimmy!
