 1100 South Bay Club Dr, Manteo, NC 27981, United States

Enjoy a day of exciting fishing out of Manteo, North Carolina with C-Legs Sportfishing! Just a stone’s throw away from Oregon Inlet, one of the most prolific offshore fishing spots in the US. Captain John Abel has over 28 years of charter fishing experience, and he’s fished all over the world. He’ll provide you with a customized experience and he’ll make sure you have fun.

You’ll head out on his 28’ Carolina Classic offshore sportfishing boat, a serious sportfishing vessel powered by twin 330 HP Cummins engines. The boat will have you fishing in comfort, featuring AC, fresh water, plenty of seating, and a toilet for your convenience. It’s equipped with the latest electronics to help put you on the fish.

These waters are truly a fishing dream, boasting a variety of species to target. The deep waters are just a short boat ride away, and there’s a whole world underneath the surface waiting to be explored. From world-class Blue Marlin, Bluefin, and Yellowfin Tuna port, to nearshore Cobia, Amberjack, Kingfish, as well as Seabass and Redfish, there’s something for everyone.

Capt. John will have all the fishing equipment ready on board – Okuma, Penn, and Shimano rods and reels, as well as electric reels for deep dropping. You’ll try out a variety of fishing techniques, using both live bait and artificial lures depending on what you’re targeting.

All you need to do is pack some food and drinks, some sunscreen for your protection, and you’re ready to explore the waters of North Carolina. Feel free to bring your kids with you if you want to spend some quality time with your family. They’ll remember a trip like this for years to come!

So what are you waiting for? Join C-Legs Sportfishing and have a day of adventure!

Capt. Abel started fishing at the age of 3, started deck handing at the age of 9 and hasn't stopped yet. Being Active Duty Coast Guard has allowed Capt. Abel to fish some of the most spectacular fisheries in the world, as well as learn those techniques to bring it all into one package. From successfully chasing giant blue marlin and yellowfin tuna in Africa to owning one of the most successful charter operations in Kodiak chasing king salmon and halibut, he hasn't done it all yet, but he's getting there.
