Cancellations for non-weather related reasons are subject to a 10% refund fee. No deposit refunds are eligible if cancellation occurs within two weeks of your reservation date. If you do not contact me prior to your fishing date and/or do not show, you will be charged the full price of your scheduled trip.

Inshore trips are targeted at flounder, drum, trout, Spanish mackerel, bonito and more. We use both live bait and artificials, depending on what is working best at the time. Fishing is done with light tackle spinning, baitcasting, or flyfishing gear. All tackle is custom made and of the finest quality.

Near shore trips target Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, cobia and more. We still use light tackle and have caught many king mackeral on spinning gear!

Cape Fear River trips typically target large flounder, speckled trout and nice red drum. Light tackle is the norm and we use bait, artificials and flyfishing gear.
