Unfortunately, due to whether we couldn't sail on our original date, but there was John!! He called me right away to re-schedule us and it end up being the perfect day.

It is evident that Captain loves what he does and he made it very special for us. We are truly thankful. Thank you to Shauna as well. I really hope that I remembered her name correctly. Please forgive if not. Thank you again Captain John. Such a good time!

On the sunset cruise, it can get a little hot sometimes, but once you make it to the ocean breeze, it is perfect. I was able to sit up at the bow and I definitely recommend it. You are able to see straight where you're going and have the best view. If you are near Wilmington at all and want to go out on a boat on the water, I would definitely recommend this. We went out for 2 hours and made it back right as the sun was setting.

Enjoyed the scenery. WOW! Perfect weather/time of year. Good length of time…read more All four of us enjoyed the cruise and were glad we had included it in our weekend plans. Late April must be the "sweet spot" for this cruise. The weather was perfect! The water was calm and we appreciated that we saw both daylight and dark during the cruise. The number of folks on the boat was good - we never felt too crowded; do not allow any more, though. The biggest thing that dinged the stars to four - and, I really was unhappy about this - was the volume of the singer. She was very good; she is talented and her selections were appropriate but TOO, TOO LOUD. The four of us could not hear each other talk (or, yell). It is a small boat; any amp at all is too much. I did (discreetly) mention something to one of our tour guides about asking her to decrease her volume. It was completely IGNORED. We booked this cruise because there was to be "entertainment" perhaps that was a poor choice. Value/fee was good - should not be any more.

Honestly, the dreary day may have made the cruise even more suited for the story Hunter Ingram, Burgin Wright House & Gardens Assistant Museum Director, shared with us on our voyage along the riverfront. The cruise was cozy with holiday theme beverages available for purchase, and the history lesson and the story written by James Sprunt in the 1800s told by Ingram was well worth the ticket price. I absolutely have to do more of the historic tours offered by Wilmington Water Tours. A couple of hours on this river cruise is definitely time well spent.

I received a text at 5pm on the 20th reading that the trip was confirmed. An hour later I received another text reading that the trip was canceled due to a mechanical issue with the boat. I called Harvey Wall (boat captain) several times without an answer. At the least Harvey should have made other accommodations for us. The way he handled this is unbelievably unprofessional. I suggest anyone looking for a fishing charter to not book it with Harvey Wall of Salty Dawg fishing charters.

Captain Harvey is a US Army veteran, is a US Coast Guard licensed Master Mariner (Captain), and has the experience on the water, to give you a very safe and enjoyable day fishing. Captain Harvey's fishing grounds are centered on Ocean Isle Beach NC, which is along the NC / SC state line and just a few minutes north of Myrtle Beach SC. I fish inshore along the ICW and backwaters of NC's Brunswick Islands (Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, Sunset Beach, Calabash, and Oak Island) for Redfish, Flounder, Trout, & Sheepshead. My shark fishing charters are at Little River Inlet in Little River SC. I also fish nearshore (usually 1-10 miles out), bottom fishing and trolling, for Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Grouper, & Sea Bass. Each trip will be tailored to fit your needs, abilities, and the current conditions. All bait, fishing tackle / gear, and fishing license supplied. Fishing Charters are priced for 1-4 anglers (no extra charge for 2nd, 3rd, or 4th angler).

How do you define a great fishing trip? I think you'd get a lot of different answers depending on…read morewho you ask. Some people would focus on success, as in what you caught, how many you caught, etc. and others would just be happy to have a day out on the ocean with friends and/or family. Others probably a mix of both, and some other smaller factors. I'm happy to say our 4-hour off-shore fishing trip with captain Cane and his first mate Bella (his daughter) was a success by all measures. We caught a lot, had some great fish fights, enjoyed each other's company, and learned a lot about ocean fishing as well as the captain. If there was a downside, we didn't catch any edible fish, but to me... this is minor when all five people in the boat get to fight some sharks, including hammerheads, black tips, and spinners! I was the only person in our group that had ever fought a shark before, and it was nowhere near the five foot hammerhead I tussled with on this trip. We can now all say we've angled a good size shark, not something many people can say. All sharks, for the record, were reeled into the side of the boat, admired for a moment, and released as quickly as possible. The captain had a special tool for removing the hooks in their mouths, and he said if unable to remove, he would cut the line and the hook would rust away in 3 days time. Captain Cane was very knowledgeable and also really good about keeping the conversations going while we waited on our fish to bite. It was also cool to learn he's a 6th generation fisherman in these waters, and to watch him pass his knowledge on to his daughter. Some things to know before going out: 1) No bathroom on board, at least for the shorter trips. Make sure you clear things out beforehand! 2) Ensure your party is up to the physical challenge of open ocean fishing. Even on calm days, the boat will bob and weave, and the fish are likely to put up a good fight. 3) Bring non-spray sunscreen, cold beverages in a cooler (preferably large enough to sit on) and snacks if you think you might get hungry. 4) Make sure you get a secure grip for your cell phone or camera, if the ocean claims it, you're S.O.L!
