If you’re ready to start fishing in the Outer Banks, we’ve got you covered with South Bound OBX Outfitters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Christopher knows them forwards and back.

There’s no guarantee when you’re fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Flounder, Weakfish, Largemouth Bass, White Perch, Yellow Perch, Bull Shark, Sheepshead, Striped Bass, Bluefish, and more if conditions are right. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Christopher is happy to have kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your trip begins aboard a 20’ KenCraft center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some bottled water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Our boat is trailered, this allows different options depending on weather and where the fish are biting.  Locations are Manteo, Manns Harbor and Stumpy Point.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with South Bound OBX Outfitters!

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 15, 20252 adults2 children
I had a wonderful time. First time on an actual charter and fishing. We wore the bluefish OUT. Captain Christopher Cobb was just awesome man. We had alot in common and he can hold a conversation and don't shrug you off. He got us our limit today within hours. Me and my sons would pull them in he'd take them off in a jif and me and my sons were fishing in seconds. Fast, knowledgeable, and just an all around great guy. I recommend him. Me and my sons will be back next year to book him again. Thank you sir for a wonderful day. Now I can go back to WV and share the blues with friends!

Captain Chris is fantastic!
2 Hour Quick Fix (PM) on July 25, 20252 adults
My son wanted to catch "something big" this trip, so Captain Chris focused on drum & shark for him. Unfortunately, the day of our trip was very hot and still and the fish just weren't biting. Chris offered to switch things up and take us somewhere to fish for smaller fish so we'd get some bites. My son opted to take his chances and stick with the big fish.Chris was determined that my son catch something, and extended our trip at no charge to make sure he left satisfied. Before we got back to the dock, he had reeled in 2 "big" stingrays. Chris was fun to chat with while we fished and clearly cares about making sure his clients have a great time. Highly recommend!

A Memorable Family Fishing Adventure!
2 Hour Quick Fix (AM) on August 26, 20252 adults2 children
We had such a wonderful day on this fishing charter with our 6-year-old twins! The captain went above and beyond to make the trip fun, memorable, and stress-free. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure our whole family felt taken care of from start to finish. It was more than just a fishing trip—it was a special family experience we’ll always remember. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend this charter to anyone looking to make lasting memories together.

My wife and I had an awesome time. Captain Chris is great, knowledgeable and friendly. He made the trip fun and relaxing. As an added bonus to our trip, he spotted a pod of dolphins and stopped by then so we could have a closer look. We have been on other charters and this one is by far the best we have been on. We HIGHLY recommend Captain Chris to everyone. Definitely will book with Captain Chris in the future.

Will definitely book again the next time I'm in the OBX. My 12 yr old caught a bull shark within the first ten minutes. Was a huge thrill for him and his older brothers were left proud and envious. Capt Chris is a damn good captain and a good person to hang around overall. My two older boys had been on a charter before. They said Capt Chris was top notch compared to the last guy they had.
