Start out your day with Captain Ricky by netting some live bait close to shore, then head out into the waters of Oregon Inlet to hunt down some Cobia, Sharks, and Amberjack (known as "reef donkeys" for the stubborn fighting). You'll sightfish for Cobia, who can often be seen right on the surface, and jigging for Amberjack, who prefer to hang out around reefs and underwater structure. During the second half of this trip, you'll switch targets and practice your bottomfishing, looking for Black Seabass, Triggerfish, and Snappers. As you head in at the end of the day, you'll get a chance to troll for King Mackerel and False Albacore—both lightning-fast fish that love to fight hard. There's no better trip if you're looking for variety—if it swims, Captain Ricky will help you hook it!

He has fished the Bahamas, Florida, and up and down the coast of North Carolina. He fished for numerous years out of Oregon Inlet and has fished as a mate for numerous years for some sport fishing pioneers like Buddy Cannady, John Bayliss, and Tony Tillett.
