Old North State Fishing is located at Wanchese Marina in the historic fishing village of Wanchese.

We fish the waters of the Pamlico Sound where we catch an abundance of Speckled Trout, Red drum, Flounder Striped Bass, and other species!

Your fishing adventure starts on a restored 23’ Hydra-Sports dual console boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat comes with an ice box and uses modern navigation electronics.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The captain works hard to make your experience unique 20% gratuity is customary.

Captain Andy has guided fishing trips part-time over the past 15 years. As of 2021, he made his passion his career. Inshore fishing being his passion, Captain Andy started fishing on the OBX with a friend's boat and had zero equipment, such as sonar, etc. He had to find fish the hard which meant riding around and casting a lot! He's got the fish dialed in now and he prides himself in being a successful fisherman! At Old North State Fishing, they target all inshore species but the captain's favorite is Speckled Trout. Join in for a one-of-a-kind fishing experience today!
