Typically, getting crabs is not something one talks about. However, we left with a bushel and a half of blue crabs, and a few fish after our 4 hour tour with Grandpa (Russell) and Mike, the mate. Can’t share enough how enjoyable the charter was and how much my family preferred it over other charters we’ve taken. We learned a lot about crabbing, why we could t keep the flounder, and the OBX in general. Highly recommend him and will be going back for shrimp soon.    

We booked this trip as something different to do and it did not disappoint. Capt Russell and Mike were great even with our two daughters (8/10), this is a hands on charter and we absolutely loved it! We are already planning to go back later this year!!

Grandpas 4 hour Trawling trip was as described. We caught 130lbs of shrimp with time left over. I was unprepared for the amount of shrimp. There is a place at the dock that will process it for you. $2 a pound on arrival . They de-head, vacuum seal in 2-lb packages and flash freeze. At pickup it is another $2 a pound. I would do it again, but i would be better prepared next time.

Russell and Mike was very knowledgeable and professional.
