Family fishing trip with Black Flag Fishing OBX
on June 20, 2025

We had an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Lance and First Mate Fran! Captain Lance made sure we were fully prepared and answered all questions prior to the trip. From the moment we stepped on board, they made sure we all felt comfortable and knew what to expect. Captain Lance knew all the great spots and was extremely knowable of the area and what kind of fishing we’d find in different spots. Thanks to Captain Lance and First Mate Fran’s expertise and patience, the boys were excited to reel in a beautiful drum and monster bluefish — their smiles said it all! They took the time to teach them proper technique and worked with the entire time, from cutting the bit to boating the fish. The boys learned so much more than just throwing a rod in the water. They both picked up skills and memories they’ll carry with them for years to come. And First Mate Fran’s snackle box came in clutch! Whether for kids, friends and family, or solo, if you're looking for a fishing adventure with a captain who knows how to put you on the fish, we highly recommend booking with Black Flag Fishing OBX. Can’t wait for the next trip

Family Adventure with Captain Lance
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 17, 2025

Took the family out for a morning adventure with Captain Lance, my two grandkids had an absolute blast and even though we did not take a fish home they both had their first fish fight experience trying to reel in rays and even a big blue! Captain Lance was awesome and made sure the entire time that we were having fun and customized the trip based on requests from my grandkids! If you are anywhere in the outer banks and want to have an amazing fishing experience then go with Captain Lance at Black Flag fishing!!

We had blast celebrating my dad’s birthday on the black flag fishing boat!!!!

Amazing day on the water!!
3/4 Day Trip on September 17, 2023

My wife, two young (3 & 8) daughters, and brother-in-law and I went out with Captain Lance and Fran for a 3/4 day trip, and it was amazing! They met us at the dock at Oregon Inlet, helped get everyone on board and off we went! The fishing was slow to start, but they were great with the kids, teaching them about everything we were seeing and helping them enjoy the morning! We ended up catching a couple of fish in the morning and then got to ride right next to a group of dolphin on the way back. My BIL was the big winner, catching some fish after noon, which was perfect for fish tacos for dinner that night! It was the perfect day and they made it even better by Fran and Lance being so good with the kids. If you are looking for a family-friendly excursion with good people, this is the boat! We are looking forward to coming back to the beach on our next vacation and booking them again!!

Growing up on the water in South Carolina has fostered a deep appreciation and passion for fishing. For the past 17 years I've fished the inshore and nearshore waters of the Outer Banks and look forward to sharing that experience!

    On a choppy and windy day on the boat Cap. Marler still put us on some great fish. From drum to blues to flounder and trout there was nothing he couldn’t get us on with expert knowledge of the area and put us on a great 47” redfish. This is who you have to book!

    Lance was was a fantastic captain he was very accommodating and made sure to run plans through the group throughout the trip. One of the best charters we have been on after coming to obx for 10 plus years. The boat and gear were in great shape. I would recommend him to anyone looking to catch fish and have a great time while in the outer banks.

    Great full day trip with the Flores crew. With sunny skies and SW wind, we started out the trip with some exciting top water action which resulted in some really nice upper slot trout. With a little hunting around, we were also able to land nice drum and a bonus sheepshead as well.
  • A selection of four Speckled Trout laid out on a boat's deck, showcasing a successful fishing trip.

    Captain lance runs a great charter. The boat and tackle were top notch. We sailed all over the inlet looking for trout and drum. He is very knowledgeable and taught some beginners how to fish popping corks. We booked the 8hr which gave us plenty of time to fish all over the inlet. Everyone had a great time.
