Lets make some memories in the beautiful Outer Banks fishing a classic 53’ Ray Davis Sportfishing boat, for the most affordable rates in OBX!

Amberjack, Black Drum, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Atlantic Mackerel, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Albacore Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, and more can be found in these waters

Reely Catchy Sportfishing is equipped with the latest tackle to handle all offshore and nearshore species. This includes Tiagra 50W and Penn 70 VIIS when specifically targeting Tuna on the troll. We use a mix of Shimano Talica ’50s, Tiagra ’30s through ’80s, Ocean Runners, and BFC’s for daily trolling use which will handle everything from Mahi, Tuna, and Billfish, including the Blue Marlin.

Our bottom fishing package includes everything from electric reels to lightweight Ocean Runner 12 IIs with Shimano Trevala rods.

For bailing Dolphin we use high-end spinning tackle that includes Shimano and St. Croix rods coupled with Shimano Stratic and Saragosa reels from 4000 a 10000 class.

Additionally, Reely Catchy Sportfishing can deploy a green stick to target Yellowfin Tuna when they get shy on the troll, an experience that is totally unique for most charter groups.

Children are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don’t forget to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You’ll be casting, trolling or live baiting lines from a Ray Davis 53’ Sportfishing boat that holds up to 6 passengers — equipped with outriggers, downriggers and a fighting chair to crank in the big one.

Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is included.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is set and all you have to do is reel, our mate works for 20% tips. Please be sure to tip the crew. Let’s make a lifetime of memories of fishing the best place on the East Coast with Reely Catchy Sportfishing!

Fishing and working on the water run through his veins, Capt. Carter has spent almost every day working on the Chesapeake and in the mid-Atlantic region in one way or another since he was 13. Carter has set sail for Wanchese Harbor and is extremely prepared. He is an exceptionally fishy and instinctual fisherman. No matter what 100% of his effort will be put into whatever he does Capt. Carter is an entertainer and a great captain to spend a day on the water with! Our Mate Jayson Meyers grew up fishing the Chesapeake Bay as a boy and started fishing out of Ocean City MD in the 1980s for Tuna and Billfish in the Canyons from the Spencer to the Norfolk. Much of Jaysonโ€™s experience comes from fishing with Captain John Brobst who fished and ran charters out of OC in the Shelly II and worked and fished with Jayson in MD and the Bahamas. Jayson has been fishing the summers in NC since 2018 on the Omie Tillet built Salvation, and Joins Captain Carter Dudzinski in Wanchese for a new chapter aboard the classic Ray Davis โ€œReel Catchyโ€.
