About Your Trip

Ready for 6 hours on the water? Let's go get 'em!

Join Captain Lance for a fun morning of fishing as you target a variety of local species, including Red Drum, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Bluefish, and whatever else may be biting that day. Fishing conditions change with the weather, tides, and season, so every trip is a little different. Captain Lance will adjust the plan as needed and do his best to maximize your opportunities throughout the trip.

This trip departs at 7:00 AM and is designed for all skill levels, from first-timers to experienced anglers. It's also child-friendly and disability-friendly, making it a great option for families, friends, and groups of all kinds.

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' federally permitted center console equipped with a restroom and Bluetooth audio, so you're welcome to connect your favorite playlist and enjoy some music while you're out on the water.

All fishing gear and live bait are included, so there's no need to bring any equipment. We do recommend bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, and any food or drinks you'd like for the trip. Beer is allowed in cans.

If you'd like to keep your catch, fish cleaning is available through the marina fish house for a small additional fee.

Before heading out—or after the trip wraps up—be sure to check out the marina, which offers great options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Captain Lance would love to have you aboard and looks forward to spending the morning fishing with you!

About Your Guide

Lance L.

Outfitter

Captain Lance has fished almost his entire life. Being introduced to fishing at an early age, he has developed a strong passion for the sport. He spent time and worked hard throughout the years to improve his angling skills. 15 years ago, he fell in love with saltwater fishing, and ever since he has spent his time becoming a top guide and learning more every day! He enjoys giving people the experiences he grew up with so they can love fishing as much as he does.

Captain Lance loves nearshore sight-casting for Cobia. He runs these charters during May or Jun. On other months, he spends time in the water searching for and sight casting Redfish, bait fishing for reds, trout and sheepshead. And when he isn't out fishing with his guests, he's usually still found on the water.

Our eco/island hopping/dolphin watching boat tour with Mike was amazing. He made sure we saw everything we came to see. My son saw dolphins in the wild up close for the first time. Each island stop was so cool seeing the different birds and water creatures. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. Highly recommend!!!

I would give the overall trip a 6 out of 10,
Mike our guide did all he could to put os on fish, without much luck. I believe the wind was a factor and in our never leaving the shallow sound areas. Also Mike stated with a child aboard he wasn’t comfortable with leaving the shallower sound areas. The overall experience was not what it was advertised to be. Maybe we will have better...

Response from Lance:

Hey Thomas, sorry the weather put a hindrance on the options today, like to start off by saying shallow water in the pamlico sound is some of the best fishing in the world, we have 50" red drum swimming around in less than 1' of water haha, but, its fishing brother, one day we kill em the next day its a struggle, some afternoons are better than mornings and vise versa... the ocean was rough, the bar was dangerous, and on a hard SW wind like yall had today, thats PRIME drum fishing conditions, but not always do we find em, I spoke with Mike and almost everyone today in the ocean and the sound had scrappy fishing, or nothing at all, I know the feeling, took a 6hr bass fishing trip in FL caught 2 small bass, next day they tore em up all fat 6 plus pounders lol... its fishing brother, im sorry the trip wasn't "as advertised" per your words, but you also have to remember social media has ruined fishing, not every day is a stellar day of catching, over all... I hope you enjoyed the time spent with your dad and son and yall made some family memories catching what you did catch. Mike said the little boy seemed to have a ball!

Mike was the captain, but we still had a nice time. Fish were not biting today, and we only caught two bluefish over the 4 hour trip. However, he took us up and down the coast in attempts to catch more.
