Half Day Trip (AM) on June 13, 2025

We can say enough about Captain Terry and his fishing charter. We had never taken one before and this experience with captain Terry was the best ever!! We had a little rain but captain Terry still found us great spots and we caught a lot of fish. Would definitely do this again and we highly recommend OBX Inshore Fishing Excursions. Thanks for the amazing day Captain Terry!!

Fishing with captain Terry and his first mate Moses

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip (PM) on April 17, 2025

Captain Terry and his first mate Moses took my family and I put fishing today and we had an awesome time. Terry and Moses are good friendly people who are easy to talk to and know exactly what they are doing to put you on fish. Fishing this time of year is a bit tough but they were able to put us on plenty of fish to keep us occupied. Really can't say enough good things about Captain Terry and first mate Moses. Top notch and will look them up again when we are back in this area. Thanks for a great afternoon of fishing

Captain Terry and his first mate took my father and I out on a 4 hour trip for speckled trout. They were easy to talk to and kept us entertained the entire trip. He moved us around to make sure we found fish and we were able to catch our limit of trout. We highly recommend and will be visiting Captain Terry on our next trip to the Outer Banks.

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 18, 2025

Captain Terry is awesome. The day we were scheduled to go out was very windy. Knowing we had kids he called 2 days prior to see if we could reschedule. We did and had the best morning on the water, weather was perfect that morning.He knew we wanted our kids to catch fish and he accommodated. Both kids had a great time. Captain Terry is a great guy to hang out on the water with. You can tell he enjoys providing you with a great experience. If we go back to OBX we will without a doubt book another trip with him.

Great Time

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 23, 2024

Hey folks just had a great time with Cap Terry yesterday. Had my wife and two kids with me (12 year old daughter and 8 year old son). I reeled in a 30+ inch red drum within maybe 30min of being on the water. He unfortunately had to go back as he was over the 18in - 27in limit. He put up a nice fight though. Wife reeled in her first ever fish. She caught some croakers and a speckled trout. We caught a couple of sting ray too. All in all we caught some fish, kids had a great time, and Terry was great to work with. Great communication and kept our lines baited. Will be back next year.

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
