He caught bait for the day before our 7a mtg time and met us 30 mins south on Oak Island where we were staying. We worked for fish the majority of the day on some great looking spots catching 6-8 fish, first trout of the season and some keeper reds. We never stayed on a spot longer than 20 mins if the bite was slow. We actually ran out of bait with 45 mins or so left in our trip so we made a bait run close by netting 20 or so mini-mullet to fish the last spot. It was a spot we’d fished an hour... Meer

This was the best decision we’ve ever made for a family outing fishing. The scenery was beautiful. Boat ride was smooth. And we were focused on fishing where they were biting not just wasting our time trying to catch fish that weren’t there like we’ve done on some other trips in the past. A slow start turned into a day of personal bests with 40+ fish by our count and a surprise crab in the boat and we WILL be back again and again. Can’t recommend enough.

This is our third trip with Captain Mason for inshore fishing and once again it was an amazing trip. Mason is friendly and patient as we dont fish salt/inshore often . He kept us moving to productive spots and considered every tactic to make our trip fun and successful. When your catching keepers…your having fun! Our family rates this guide as high as you can rate them! Well Done Once Again Mason! Timothy,Leslie and Rachel Smith Seneca SC

We had a great trip with Captain Mason. My sons (5 and 11) both caught multiple fish. He was very knowledgeable, personable and patient with us all. Great communication before the trip. He moved us to new spots if we weren’t catching. And he filleted our fish at the end of the trip which we cooked for a delicious dinner. I would recommend him to anyone and especially if you have kids.

Mason was just the right fit for 3 hour dad & daughter(s) 3 hour tour. From Carolina Beach, we toured the ICWW, Wrightsville and Masonboro on Mason’s well appointed new boat, enjoyed dolphins and caught fish. Mason catered to the girls (& me), baiting hooks, untangling lines, taking group pictures; while also keeping the trip interesting, safe and fun. My daughters are back at university and work, with holiday memories surpassing the usual meals and shopping. Take your daughters boating, they... Meer
