About gottafly Guide Service
GottaFly Guide Service is Captain Lee Parsons — a local fishing guide with deep knowledge of the sounds, inlets, and coastal waters around Hampstead and the greater Onslow Bay area. Repeat customers keep coming back because Lee knows where the fish are, and he's just as good with first-timers and kids as he is with experienced anglers looking to sharpen their technique. One family brought their 14-year-old son with severe autism on his first real fishing trip — he reeled in a 21-inch Red Drum. Another group limited out on redfish on a half-day charter. Whether it's your first cast ever or your tenth trip with Lee, you'll leave the water having learned something. Give Captain Lee a call and get on the water.
