blue fishing is still been very good around the sound in Hatteras. Also the red drum bite on cut bait has really picked up with the cooler water. Sheepshead fishing has been very good when you can get out on the wrecks outside the inlet or around the ferry basin on the Ocracoke side of Hatteras inlet using sand fleas and hermit crabs. As the winter progresses we will fishing in the Albemarle sound for stripers and targeting big catfish on the Roanoke River all winter. That spring comes we will chase shad up on the Roanoke River and then...

Trip: OBX Nearshore Fishing Trip
★★★★★
Absolutely incredible fishing charter from start to finish! Me and three others went out, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Evan was our guide, and I can’t say enough great things about him. He was knowledgeable, laid-back, and made sure everyone had a great time. We caught plenty of fish, but honestly, the laughs and good times were just as memorable as the fishing. Evan kept the energy up the entire trip and made it feel like we were fishing with an old friend rather than just a guide. He knew exactly where to put us on the fish and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a fishing charter where you’ll catch fish, have a ton of laughs, and leave already talking about the next trip, this is the one. We’ll definitely be booking with Evan again. 10/10 experience and highly recommended!

Frank was great. We hit the water early and saw a beautiful sunrise. We drift fished a few places and didn’t have any luck. He then found a spot with blues hitting the bait but we got skunked today. It was still a great day on the water. I highly recommend Frank.

Trip: Morning Avon Inshore Trip
★★★★★
I’d highly recommend Captain Clay for an inshore fishing trip! We booked a two-hour outing, and from start to finish, Captain Clay was personable, knowledgeable, and experienced. He was right on time and even called ahead to confirm our reservation, which was a nice touch. Since this was our first time fishing inshore, we opted for the shorter two-hour trip. Captain Clay is more accustomed to half- and full-day trips, but he never made us feel rushed. In fact, he offered to extend our time if we wanted and ultimately gave us an additional 20 minutes on the water. It was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable captain, I’d definitely recommend Captain Clay!
