About Your Trip

Get out there with Captain Bud and spend the day fishing the beautiful waters of North Carolina's Outer Banks (OBX). These are rich fishing grounds for a variety of species, so expect to try out a number of different techniques for finding and fighting these fish. Captain Bud is an experienced angler and a top-quality guide who knows how to put you on the fish and land some great memories for you and yours.

Because
the Outer Banks features several different habitats, a day of fishing offers endless possibilities. Depending on the season and your preferences, you could be sightcasting for Cobia, fishing the bottom for Black Drum, or trolling for Mackerel and Striped Bass—all in one day! There are also opportunities closer to shore for Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead, and Spotted Seatrout. Get ready for great fighting and great eating—Captain Bud will happily clean your catch for you.

On the day of the trip, you'll head out aboard Captain Bud's 24' Skeeter bay boat. She's a fast and versatile craft that can easily handle both the inshore and nearshore waters off of the Carolina coast, and is equipped with all of the necessities—plus a few extras to really give you an edge over the fish and ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable day.

Captain Bud will bring along everything you need for a fantastic day of fishing, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. To maximize your experience on the water, remember your sunscreen, a pair of polarized sunglasses, a hat, and the right clothes. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime with Captain Bud!
