Free Agent Sport Fishing
If you’re thinking about fishing the beautiful waters of Hatteras, you’re in the right place. Free Agent Sport Fishing specializes in All Day Wreck Fishing Trips and Inshore fishing of all kinds– they offer trips for all ages, skill levels, and various types of fishing. They’re full-time fishermen and have been in the business since 1985. These are professionals who will ensure you have a fun, safe, and memorable trip.
Captain Ricky Caton and his crew specialize in All Day Wreck Fishing Trips and Family Oriented Calm Water Inshore trips.The trips depend on your skill level and fish you want to catch. “Inlet Adventure” and “Happy Crabber” trips are family-oriented trips. You’ll stay in the calm waters, so no one gets seasick and everyone has fun.
You’ll be fishing from the “Free Agent”, a 42’ boat built by the Gutheries. She’s perfectly equipped for inshore and offshore fishing, having 3 bottom machines/fish finders, 4 GPS units, two VHF radios, a radar, and Sirus XM radio, so that you can listen to your favorite music. There’s also enough shade to keep you out of the sun, the carpeted floor inside, and private bathroom downstairs. As the trips are child-friendly, the boat is also equipped with children-sized life vests.
The crew will cover your fishing license, rods, reels, lures, and live bait. You need to bring food, drinks, sun protection, a cooler for the catch, a camera, and rain gear. Your catch can be cleaned at the marina for an additional cost.
Free Agent Sport Fishing is inviting you for an unforgettable day on the water. Join them and share an experience you and your loved ones will cherish forever!

Half Day Trip– Inlet Adventure (AM)
Half-day in-shore trip...
I arranged for me, my wife, three sisters, and one of my sisters' husbands to do a half-day in-shore trip while we were doing a family vacation on the Outer Banks. We traveled out a way, started trolling, and landed a mess of Spanish Mackerel, and a couple Bluefish. Caught several Lizard Fish, too, but chucked them back in. Big huge mouths full of teeth on those Lizard Fish, LOL! Captain Ricky and his mate were fantastic. Super friendly, knew the good spots to fish, had good equipment on hand, the boat was roomy for the 6 of us, etc. I can't think of anything that would be a negative, it's all positive, and I totally recommend Free Agent Sport Fishing to anyone who wants to get out and catch some fish! Oh, and fresh-caught Spanish Mackerel on the grill seasoned with either lemon pepper or Old Bay makes for a really nice dinner...

I would have to say me and my family had such an amazing time on this charter one of the best days of our life thanks so much to captain Ricky and first mate Chris they are so knowledgeable and friendly make you feel right at home and welcome I highly recommend this charter for anyone we will definitely be booking them again. Caught a good amount of fish as soon as we got on them they kept us on them. Can't thank these 2 pros enough. Can say we made a couple great friends today.
