Great Day on the Water

VERIFIED

4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 22, 2024

This was our first time out doing inshore fishing (myself and sons - 20 and 13) and it was a great day!! Weather was perfect and Capt Pierre did not disappoint. We got to see the live bait hunting first hand and participate. We caught multiple red fish (had to release mine as it was over the size limit - biggest catch of the day for us 😃) and flounder (had to release as not in season). Pierre was a great host, super attentive, engaged, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Rising Sun and Capt Pierre. Looking forward to our next “boys” trip!!!

Awesome Half Day Charter

VERIFIED

4 Hour Trip (AM) on October 19, 2024

My son and I did a half day charter on October 19th with Captain Pierre. We started the morning fishing top water lures. We landed several 4lb blue fish. We moved with the tide change and started fishing boat docks. While fishing boat docks, we caught 4 huge flounder, 4 red fish and one nice black drum. My son is a novice fisherman and he caught 3 red fish over 10lbs. Captain Pierre was awesome! He is laid back and he is very patient. I will definitely book him on my next trip.

4 Hour Trip (AM) on January 10, 2025

Captain Pierre was super helpful, fun and engaging taking my dad, brother, and I out in January. He was available to answer my questions, willing to work with us around the chilly weather, and kept us engaged even when the fish weren't biting. I plan on using Captain Pierre again for our next trip!

I booked this trip as a Birthday present for my Fiancé and his best friend, and they had the time of their lives! Captain Pierre was personable, answered all their questions, and provided such a wonderful experience. Would recommend it to everyone and anyone in search of a charter fishing experience in the Wilmington area. Thank you, Pierre and we'll see you at our wedding!

Special 2 hour trip for Bo Mcminn on May 23, 2024

Captain Pierre was terrific. Found out we are from CB and offered to pick us up closer. First fish within 15 minutes of pick-up. While the fishing was good it was Captain Pierre’s efforts to make sure my wife, who was fishing near shore for the first time, was comfortable and caught fish. We took the mid morning 2 hour trip. Trolled and cast. Caught Spanish Mackerel and Blue. Captain Pierre even cleaned the fish for us. Even if not fishing for the price it’s worth the ride to see the beaches from near shore. Perfect day!
