About Your Trip
Get ready to explore the rich coastal waters of Avon, North Carolina with Captain Frank, your go-to guide for an unforgettable day of inshore fishing! With years of experience navigating the Outer Banks, Captain Frank brings a deep understanding of local waters and seasonal fish movements—so whether you’re casting the flats or gigging Flounder under the stars, you’re in expert hands from the moment you step aboard.
You’ll be fishing from a 23’ Carolina Skiff
designed to handle the shallow backwaters and nearshore stretches around Avon with ease. The boat comfortably fits up to 6 passengers, making it perfect for families, small groups, or anyone looking to enjoy a laid-back yet action-packed fishing trip. Onboard you’ll find GPS, fishfinder, and radar, along with all the gear you’ll need: rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included, and a blanket fishing license covers everyone on board—no extra paperwork required.
Depending on the time of year and what’s biting, you could hook into Redfish, Bluefish, Speckled Trout, Weakfish, Sheepshead, and Spotted Seatrout. These Outer Banks waters are teeming with life, and Captain Frank knows exactly where to go to find the fish. You’ll use a variety of techniques like light tackle fishing, popping, and jigging, or—if you're looking for something truly unique—ask Captain Frank about Flounder gigging, an exciting after-dark adventure where you'll hunt flatfish in the shallows with lights and spears.
This trip is kid-friendly, so feel free to bring the whole crew! Just be sure to ask ahead about youth-sized life vests or bring your own to ensure a perfect fit. Snacks are always a good idea, especially for younger anglers—and don’t forget your hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Moderate alcohol is allowed, but please leave glass bottles and hard liquor at home.
Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler, Captain Frank’s laid-back approach, deep knowledge of the local fishery, and passion for the sport guarantee a trip that’s both fun and rewarding. From sight-casting Reds in the skinny water to gigging Flounder along the sandy shallows, a day on the water out of Avon is always time well spent.
