Located in Wanchese, NC, Black Flag Fishing OBX is a charter service that is all about fishing, family, and fun! With years of experience on the water, Captain Marler goes to every measure to ensure everyone aboard gets an opportunity to catch a fish and have the adventure of a lifetime, regardless of your level of experience.
Your trip begins on a 21’ Parker SE, outfitted with a 150hp Yamaha, jack plate, and the latest technology to ensure we put you exactly where you need to be to catch fish.
You will be targeting; Red Drum, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, and Cobia depending on your preference and the season. For these species, you’re likely to jig, troll, and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Marler also offers fly fishing, but you will need to provide your own gear.
Your charter will include your fishing license, rods, reels, and tackle. Live bait is also an option when available. The charter also provides coolers, ice, and bottled water. Be sure to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and any other drinks or snacks you may desire. They only ask that you pack light so the maximum amount of space for fishing is ensured.
There’s nothing better than a day on the water and catching fish with family and friends. Contact Black Flag Fishing OBX today to book the adventure you’ve been waiting for!

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

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!!

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!
