If you are looking for a great inshore fishing experience in the Outer Banks, look no further! My girlfriend and I went out fishing with Captain Mike, and we had an awesome day! It was cold and the fishing was tough, but that didn’t stop Captain Mike from working tirelessly to get us on fish. He is very personable and very clearly wants his clients to feel welcomed and have a pleasant experience while out on his charters. If you are looking to get your kids into fishing, this is definitely the charter for you! Captain Mike has many great stories from his days as a teacher in the classroom, so it was really cool getting to experience his teaching out on the water. As a fellow teacher, I could not recommend Old School Fishing Charters enough!

We’re a family of four with two sons (19 and 16) who enjoy fishing. We booked the 3p-7p evening trip and had a great time with Captain Mike! Even though we weren’t new to fishing, Mike took the time to go over casting basics and tips.  When someone made a mistake, he had a great attitude and had fun with it. Best of all, though, Mike knew where to find the fish.  In our four hours, he took us to three different locations and we were landing fish in all three spots.  In fact, each of us caught our daily limit…which was more than we had expected.  Mike also took the time to tell us about the areas where we were fishing and WHY those areas were successful.  That kind of knowledge will help us on many future fishing trips.  Even though our “kids” are no longer young, we could tell Mike would be great with younger kids, too.  So, we’d highly recommend his services for any family looking for a fun and productive day on the water!

Captain Mike is very knowledgeable about the area and a long time local which helped tremendously to find the fish even though fishing ist still very slow. He was a great companion on a great and very educational trip in the Kitty Hawk Bay. Thank you!

One of the best fishing trips I have been on, and I didn’t even catch a fish! The Captain of this little boat Taught us a different fishing cast than we were used to. He gave us a wealth of information about the Outer Banks, History, and some folklore, and he was just a great person to spend your day with and enjoy great conversation and fish.

Capt. Mike got us on fish all day long.  He is very knowledgeable about the waters and the type of bait to use.  He kept in contact with me up until the trip and answered any questions we had.  We also had a lot of laughs on our trip! 
Great time and I would recommend Capt. Mike and fish with him again when I’m in OBX.
