I run a shallow water guide service...simular to what you may have done in Fla. I fish much og the year out of a 17 ft flats boat for redfish, seatrout, flounder, striped bass and so on. I also run a larger boat for tarpon, drum, and false albacore. My shallow water trips are designed for 2 people, I have all the bait, tackle, ice, bottled water. I offer full day (8 hour) and 1/2 day ( 4 hour) trips. Full day fees are $400 and 1/2's are $250. Currently we are catching specks and reds and are fishing is improving every day and will contimnue to be good into the winter. I primarily fish out of the village of Oriental...a wonderful water front town on the Neuse River. Let me know when your thinking of booking a trip and I can give you more detail on the fishing.
