We really enjoyed our trip today with Bob in the Strange Magic. He has a great personality and provided an entertaining trip. During our trip we learned about the area and how to catch the local species. There were times of feast and famine like any fishing trip but there was never a dull moment and we came back to the marina having caught a bunch of fish and making new memories. I would highly recommend his guide service and a great all around experience.

I had wanted to book a local charter for a few years now. My two sons are completely new to fishing and I was just hoping for a day of good weather and maybe a fish or two. Captain Bob Strange of Strange Magic Fishing Charters turned out to be an ideal choice! We went out with him early Tuesday morning for a half-day trip. Bob was really terrific and even educated us while underway on the natural features and wildlife of this beautiful part of the country. He pointed out several Bald Eagles along the way!

When it was time to fish, Bob showed the boys how to cast and then use various techniques for the different species we were after. In only a half-day, we fished the ocean just off the Little River inlet jetties and then fished the inlet itself. We then worked our way north through the Intracoastal Waterway, fishing near docks, piers and creeks entering the ICW. On the day, we fished with cut bait, then Gulps and spoons and finally with live minnows popped behind a bobber. We ended up with quite a mixed bag! Ribbon fish, croakers, sea bass, a sea perch, some nice fluke and a beautiful pompano. We kept only the pompano.

Back at the dock, Captain Bob fileted the fish and, on his suggestion, we took it over to nearby Crab Catches Restaurant in Little River, where they cooked it for the boy’s lunch! Both boys agreed that this fresh, white-meat pompano was the lightest and tastiest fish that they had ever eaten.

In summary, I was just hoping for a day of good weather and that the boys would have a good time and might be inclined to continue fishing in the future. Captain Bob and Strange Magic Charters made this very likely to happen! If you’re looking for a great day on the water, I highly recommend Captain Bob and Strange Magic Charter for your next fishing trip!

We had a great time fishing with Bob. We had two beginners and three with experience. He was able to meet each person’s needs with a smile and words of encouragement. We caught enough fish to keep everyone actively involved and two more than the boat we were competing with. It was a wonderful time

Had a great time with Captain Bob Strange from Strange Magic Fishing Charters. My partner and I hired Captain Bob for the second week in March 2020. We chose the half day trip to fish Intracoastal Waterways of South and North Carolina.  The captain told me upfront upon booking three weeks earlier that fishing could be tough at this time of year.  It was!  There were no other charter boats on the water even though it was a sunny and breezy 67° day.
Nonetheless Bob put us on fish. He shared several techniques that really paid off.
His boat is in showroom condition and performed very well. I look forward to chartering again with Captain Bob this November.  Bill P.  Plainfield, Illinois

My daughters, son in law and myself spent a great morning fishing with Captain Bob. Bob was great with the two inexperienced fishermen, showing them the basics and getting them fishing quickly.  Although we had a slow day fishing Bob constantly worked to find fish and show us around the area. I will definitely book him again when I’m back in the area.
