Want to experience bluewater fishing in North Carolina the proper way? Join Wet Kitty Charters for an offshore excursion in the Atlantic Ocean.
You’ll cast off on your fishing adventure out of Wanchese, aboard a 25’ Cape Lookout. She’s captained by a true outdoorsman who’s been fishing since he was a small kid. You can bring 3 of your fishing buddies with you, she’s roomy so you won’t be bumping elbows.
The waters of North Carolina have plenty to offer to anglers of all skill levels and preferences. You can fish the nearshore waters, 15 miles away from the coast for a wide range of species like Black Drum, Bluefish, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and others.
The pelagic action takes place approximately 50 miles away from the dock. You can hook up Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Wahoo, and whatever else takes the bait – depending on the season. Check with the captain in advance to figure out what has the best bite.
The captain will provide you with high-quality tackle made by Shimano, Okuma, and Daiwa, included in the price. Feel free to bring snacks and drinks with you, so you keep your energy up between strikes. Fish cleaning and filleting is available at the marina for 40 cents per pound.
Book a trip with Wet Kitty Charters today and explore the nearshore and offshore waters of North Carolina the right way!

Captain Tom was great. His expertise is evident and made sure we had a good time. Weather was testy and not much was biting early on but he made sure to shift locations until we had hooked some Drum. Overall a great trip and highly recommend booking with Wet Kitty Charters

Couldn't have been better. Tom made sure that everyone was comfortable and did everything he could to find fish on a bad fishing day. Our group caught enough ribbon for lunch and dinner. Would highly recommend for beginners and pros alike. Too bad we can't give more stars. Will definitely go back again

Offshore Full Day Trip on June 16, 2021
When we arrived at the marina the CPT gave a quick overview of the boat and safety equipment. He was eager to start early and get a jump on the fish. He laid out a game plan and didn't waste any time. While heading out to the water, CPT made numerous calls to get us on the fish. After hammering some monster tile fish (4 citations) we were after the tuna. Due to some difficult conditions the tuna could not be found. Can't say the CPT didn't try. We had a blast. Everything was top notch. From the crew, equipment, knowledge of the water, and the whole trip. We would 100 percent recommend CPT Tom and the Wet Kitty. Hopefully we can get down here again soon.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We wanted to catch fish to eat and Captain Tom made sure that happened. We went to several different spots and caught 40+ fish (although we didn’t keep them all). He is knowledgeable and so fun to hang out with for the day. Will absolutely book with him again in the future!

Captain Tom Hughes has been fishing since he was big enough to hold a rod on his own. Six years ago he decided to turn his passion and hobby into a full-time job and started guiding customers. He's caught a lot of trophy-sized fish, but his proudest catch is a massive 100 lb Cobia. He loves socializing with his customers and getting to know them. A true outdoors fan, he's usually out before the sunrise – he hopes to share this love with every single guest that comes on board.
