    Great morning with Captain Terry!

    Half Day Trip - 7:00 AM on June 29, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Terry did not disappoint! My father and I both caught our limit of keeper red drum, and then stayed busy catching lots of rowdy sting ray! Capt Terry made the fishing super easy for us. When we weren't catching fishing we were busy laughing at Terry's stories and sharing our own. The wind picked up at the end of our half day trip, and Terry was very cautious and alert getting us home safely. We can see why Captain Terry has so many repeat customers! We can't wait to book him again and will definitely recommend Captain Terry to everyone! Thanks for the great memories, Terry! We are following your recipe and our red drum are cooking right now! Tight lines, buddy!

    Had an Awesome Time

    Half Day Trip on August 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Terry was great! But most of all very patience with us (me). I can be a bit impatient but I never lost faith in Terry finding us the fish. With a little communication with others we found them amd all 4 rods were hit at the same time. It was awesome. He was very personable and funny! We all had a great time. We caught 8 keepers, lost several good ones and had to throw back a few but still enough for a good meal! Thanks Terry! Best wishes to you! If we ever get to do it again you will be the first person we'll call! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

    The fishing trip of a lifetime!

    Half Day Trip on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Terry is awesome! My family and I, including our two teenagers, had a fantastic fishing trip with him. He’s extremely knowledgeable, professional, and so much fun. Even if we hadn’t caught all the fish that we did, I think he still would have made it fun and memorable for us. We caught a 49 inch red drum, 30 inch bull shark, three stingrays, and countless trout, croaker, and pin fish. He made sure our kids had a blast and were safe and learned a lot. We will definitely make fishing trips with Captain Terry a tradition for our family vacations in the Outer Banks!

    Captain Terry was professional and fun! From the moment we booked our trip, he was organized with his communication and extremely honest. The weather conditions were questionable the original date we booked and Captain Terry went out of his way to accomodate us for another day. We had the best time, we caught lots of fish, learned alot and had many laughs. We are excited to come back again for vacation and when we do, we will be sure to use Captain Terry again!! Thank you Captain Terry, you are a gem!!🐠❤️

    We had a great time on the water! Terry was great and always gave a good laugh. He was very insightful and aware of the passengers needs. The kids learned that the word “can’t” is foreign language on his boat! We learned a lot, had a great catch, and left with great memories to take home with us. Thanks again! Hope to be back!

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
For me, fishing is the tranquility of being on the water, quality time spent with family and friends, the satisfaction of mastering a skill that requires discipline and patience, and so much more. It's the challenge of finding fish, and discovering what it takes to catch fish in all types of weather. It's the hunt for big fish, and the exhilaration of reeling one in. I have been fishing the waters of Northeastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia for over 35 years. I don't wait for fish to come to me; I go to where the fish are. I strive to provide each customer with a positive and memorable fishing experience
