trip description for Hatteras Island Inshore Adventure in Hatteras

If you're looking for the perfect combination of drag-screaming action, beautiful scenery, and calm waters, then this trip is meant for you. North Carolina's Outer Banks is a widely known as world-renowned fishing destination, but its vast, interconnected network of protected inshore sounds is sometimes overlooked. This inshore environment is ideal for hooking up a record fish, whether you're chasing a personal best Redfish, or a variety of other species, including Speckled Trout, Flounder, Striped Bass, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Sheepshead, Cobia, Tarpon, and more. On this trip, you'll employ several different techniques, from casting artificial lures to jigging the bottom to live-baiting. Captain Jerry is a true expert fisherman who has fished all over the world, from the Bahamas to Belize and back, and knows exactly how to put you in the best position to catch prizewinners. On the day of the trip, you'll get off the dock aboard Captain Jerry's 25' Parker center console. This is the perfect type of boat for fishing the inshore waters off of Hatteras, with a bow that's made to cut through the chop and a comfortable cabin area. Plus, she's powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine, so you'll be on the fish in no time. Bring along a pair of polarized sunglasses, a hat, proper clothing, and sunscreen to maximize your experience on the water! Read More
