I am a local from Southport, NC and Ocean Isle Beach, NC. Captain Jessey knows where the bait and fish are "hiding." We caught 7+ red drum.... big ones!!! I highly recommend his charter.
Jesse was great. While the fish weren't biting he was an awesome host and gave us a great experience. He's been fishing these waters since he was knee high to a grasshopper! This Aussie loved it!
We are so glad we booked with Captain Jesse! We arrived early, and he was glad so that we could get to his favorite spot before everyone else. We could tell immediately that he is passionate about fishing, and that it wasn't just a job. He was patient with the kids, and consistently baited the hooks for me and my daughter haha! We loved the entire process.
We ended up just outside the inlet because he heard one of his buddies had a big one. He got excited and said We gotta go! We didn't care one bit. My husband and son each caught huge redfish, so the day was complete.
Our catch for the day included a croaker, 5 black drum, 2 flouder, and 2 redfish.
We would go back to Myrtle Beach just to fish with Captain Jesse again. I'm already referring him out to my friends and family that live out that way.
Thanks again, for the best day ever!!
Captain Jessey made us feel comfortable for our 1st time out boat fishing! He was knowledgeable and helpful to our 6 and 8 year old. The boat was clean, life jackets provided, and best of all we call a sting ray, croaker fish, sea bass, baby sharks, saw blue crabs, hermit crabs, had a GREAT TIME! will definitely consider a 2nd trip if in the area.
I read the reviews and booked a charter with Captain Jesse. Straight up nice guy who seemed to know his stuff. He's a native of the area and has his favorite spots. We had a good time despite the water being cloudy and no fish for the duration of our charter. Had conditions been better, I'm sure we would have walked away with dinner that night.
There's two reasons I'm dinging him 2 stars. The first is for poor preparation. When we arrived, right on time, the boat wasn't ready and he didn't have any bait fish. We spent a good half hour of our 4 hour charter fueling the boat and net casting for bait. While that was fun, it wasn't what I was paying for. At these rates, I expect to be fishing and not preparing to fish. And while he offered to stay out longer, we had things to do and a prearranged ride back from the marina.
Second, he didn't provide a safety briefing, identify where life jackets were stowed, etc. It was a small, clean boat, but that still should have been done. Oh, and the website says he provides water and fruit for a snack. That must be old info, because we had to bring our own. Nice guy, but he needs to get his stuff together.
We had a great time! He knows his stuff, kept us on fish the entire trip & was great with our 3 kids...& their countless questions. Everyone caught multiple fish & the kids caught some of their biggest ones ever. Great guy, we'll be back next time we're in town! Thanks
