Started the trip out going after Speckled Trout. Captain Les piloted us straight to a spot, within minutes we were reeling fish in. We tagged out in about 2 and a half hours and all but 2 were below the legal limit. After that he took us to another spot to try for red drum to finish out the trip. Kids had a great time!

Captain Les was great. We happened to be on the Outer Banks where the tides were funky and a lot of boats were canceling but Captain Les got us out there and got us on a couple fish. We had to really search for them but we pulled a couple in and went home with some great trout and bluefish. Caught a couple stingrays too and almost gave the Cap a heart attack. All in all, a great time.

Had a great 4 hour trip with Les, great guy and knows his craft. Had a newbie on board, and she had a lot of fun. If les can’t put you on fish, no-one will. Weather had flipped, but he was still able to get us on some trout which made for a great fish fry that evening. Highly recommend!

My family of 4 enjoyed our 4 hour (morning) fishing trip on the Shoal Rider with Capt Les.  We didn’t catch a lot, but we got a few.  It certainly wasn’t for the lack of trying so I appreciate the captains efforts on doing what he could. But hey, that’s fishing.  We had a good time and enjoyed both the boat and meeting Captain Les.  Great guy, works hard, knowledgeable, good with the kids, fun to spend a day fishing with him. All in all it was a real good trip and I’d recommend him... Meer
