Great Time with Mike’s Son (Chad) and 1st mate (Austin) ..  We knew going in it would be possibly a tough go of it with Fishing and Crab this early in the season, and fishing was tough, but a Bushel full of Crab was awesome.  They are Great Guys with a Great Boat with a Great Dog (Fin) 👍😎.  Highly recommend these guys !!!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! The crew were awesome. Overall had a wonderful time, a great experience and memories to last a lifetime. Will definitely do this again and I’d recommend anyone else to do this too.

Left with about a half bushel of crabs and over 20lbs of shrimp, even told us where to go to get our catch steamed which is great when you’re on vacation.

While the catch may not always be this good, the memories far outweigh that. Thanks Walker and Lyle.

Our group, including 3 adults and 3 kids aged 4, 8 and 12 had a great time. Capt. Mike kept in excellent communication with us prior to the trip, and we had no problem finding the pick up point. The trip included 4 passes dragging the net, and we got lots of shrimp. The adults enjoyed chilling the catch - the kids liked watching. Mate Tommy was a good teacher and helper, and interesting to talk to. Great trip for a family with kids! Thanks!

Cannot say enough nice things about Mike.  He had some mechanical issues and instead of just telling us no, he arranged the same trip with a friend of his and made it work.  My 6 year old had such a great time we are excited to do it again.  Came home with a pot of crabs and 30 lbs of fresh shrimp. 
OBX is a small community but it speaks VOLUMES to Mikes integrity.  Instead of saying no, he went above and beyond to get us the trip we had agreed upon.  For that, it made the trip very special. 
If you have not done this, you need to do it.  The experience is great and you get to see first hand how WILD shrimp are caught and the effort that goes into it. 
If you have doubts about booking with Mike, let me tell you that you should have none.  He is a stand up guy and treated me more than fair.  You will enjoy a trip with him.

Captain Mike and Tommy made the 4 hour trip pass quickly! We took the 11am excursion. The kids (11-15) were never bored (but we also didn’t allow them to bring any electronics along).  Make sure the kids wear shirts you don’t mind tossing in the trash—my kids got super messy while having fun. Be sure to bring sun block, a good hat, Gatorade, and lots of water. We packed a lunch (sandwiches, fruit, and chips).  There’s good cell phone reception, so no need to miss any important phone calls. After our catch, we took our crabs to the fish market next to the gas station so they could be cooked (we waited about 25 minutes), We put the cooked crabs in the back of our car trunk and drive 3 hours home and they were still hot. We cannot wait to go again! This experience is one I can now cross off my bucket list.
