We had a group trip to the outer banks recently, and the girls wanted to have a "girls day". So me and the boys wanted to have a "boys day" and go fishing. We wandered around the marina talking to the workers and locals trying to pick their brains on what boat was recommended. We came across captain Ernie, who gave us the scoop. They have been around the longest, have seen it all, done it all, and caught it all. We signed up for the next day. There were five in the group, three are fishermen, the other two, not so much. We left dock early in the AM, and drove and drove and drove. 20 miles off shore, captain Bryan and his first mate (son) Sumner tossed out the lines. We started off slow. When I say slow, nothing for four hours, hung over, choppy seas, and the sun beating down draining the sweat from the pores. But Capt. Bryan didn't give up for a second. All of the sudden we had four tunas on the line. That four hours didn't seem nearly that long at this point. The day stayed steady from there. We caught tuna, mahi mahi, a 51 pound wahoo, a sailfish, etc. It was AMAZING!! Capt Bryan was extremely professional, knew where to go, and gave it his all. But I can not say enough good things about his first mate Sumner. He busted his tail the whole day, was more professional than any other high school kid that I have ever come across, and extremely respectful. The trip was wonderful, it created some great memories with the guys, and is highly recommended to anyone thinking about off shore fishing. read more
