Be prepared to catch a variety of fish....depending on the time of year it makes a difference in what you are likely to catch and it also depends on how far out you go. For the first time charter or first time fisherman, you may want to consider a half day trip in-shore and then move up to a full day either in-shore or to the gulfstream (off shore). If you are an experienced fisherman, then the gulf stream trip would be my recommendation. Also, consider going with at nice large sportfishing boat (like the Wet N Wild) and the ride will be much better in the event you have some higher swells.

Experience helps. If you are a novice @ ocean fishing, don"t expect to catch a lot; [just hook a lot] Summer fishing is always tough. Austin did find fish. From what I heard on the radio, we were having better luck than others

The water was rough and cold, so not much moving around the beginning of April. I would recommend a warmer time of year!

While we were hoping to go outside. In July, It may be a better expectation to fish closer to shore.

I would highly recommend using Cpt. Dave and Let's Roll Charters. I have been on a few charters and were as enjoyable as his was.

This was our first time and Fishing Booker was very convenient and helpful. Carolina Beach is a great jump off location. We would definitely go through them again .

Check out the great time with your family fishing off the coast with a seasoned ship's crew. I'm ready to go again.

Ray will welcome you onto his boat if it's the first time you have fished or if you are a seasoned expert.

4 hour trips stay close to shore. Expect blues and potentially spanish mackerel. Weather can be a potential issue. We had a great trip. Many blues and a few spanish mackerel.

Definitely talk to the locals and the baitshops in the area. Don't be skittish to ask for help or tips. Knowledge is power.

Captain snow will provide everything you need for a good day of fishing. All you need to take and something to eat, dress for the weather, and don't forget the motion sickness pills.

If experienced be specific what you want to catch. Otherwise trust the captain and boat.

Use a guide and team who is experienced and knowledgeable. We did, and it was awesome!

The fish are there, you just have to go after them. Prepare for your trip, and stay hydrated.

A shorter trip, 4-6 hours- especially if you have kids! We had an awesome time.
