Whatever Sport Fishing can put you on a fish of a lifetime, ‘whatever’ you want to catch. They are based out of Oden’s Dock in the famous sport fishing destination of Hatteras, North Carolina.

Cobia, Kingfish, Gray Triggerfish, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Black Seabass, Bluefish, Redfish, Gag Grouper, and more could be biting if you cast your line at the right time of year. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to take with you. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home without any hassle.

The ‘Whatever’ vessel is a one-of-a-kind 34’ Custom Carolina Express sport fishing machine with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything you need for a productive day on the water, plus a toilet on board for your convenience. Children are welcome aboard.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. Trips can be fine-tuned to cater to whatever you want to do and whatever you want to catch. The charter boat covers your fishing license.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show appreciation for their hard work. Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. While the crew is all about catching fish, they consider providing excellent service and making their customers happy the most essential part of any trip.

Take one trip with Whatever Spot Fishing, and they promise you will be hooked for life!

    Target species are Cobia, Amberjack, Sea Bass, King Mackerel, Triggerfish, and/or Shark. In the late spring, the full-day trips are for Cobia. For Cobia trips we need the sun to get up to be able to spot the fish so we typically leave the dock around 7:30–8 a.m., returning around 4–5 p.m. In the summer months, we run full-day wreck fishing trips for Amberjack, Seabass, Triggerfish, King Mackerel, and more.

Raised on Hatteras Island, fishing has always been part of my blood. Some of my first memories were fishing with my Dad either from the beach or on one of his many commercial boats. Fishing has always been a way of life.
