Enjoy a fun-filled fishing adventure around the Outer Banks of North Carolina! Captain Frank Riddick has been guiding since 2001, and he loves taking people out to his favorite spots and helping them catch fish.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 23’ May-Craft center console that was built locally, with North Carolina’s open inshore waters and inlets in mind.
You will find rods, reels, and tackle already waiting for you on board, as well as a range of artificial lures and fresh bait.
You will always be fishing within sight of the beach, where you could target a range of species such as gray trout, bluefish, whiting, spots, croakers, sheepshead , Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Bluefish, Flounder, Striped Bass, and more. This is a hands-on experience, even for the kids, All equipment and licenses are included in the price of the trip, so all you have to think about is enjoying the trip! there’s a good chance you all see dolphins, pelicans, osprey, and other wildlife.
Get out on the beautiful waters of the Outer Banks and let your personal guide Capt Frank show you and your family a great time fishing!

3 Hour Family Fishing Adventure Am

June fishing

VERIFIED

Super fun trip! We had 4 rods going at a time and 3 children. At one fishing spot it felt like each kid was catching a fish per minute (/losing bait to fish). Captain Frank did an amazing job “running” back and forth between everyone keeping them baited and getting fish off hooks. He’s definitely calm when people have needs from every direction haha. Very impressed and grateful. Lots of small fish, but we didn’t care because the more frequent the fish the more entertaining for the kids. More than enough big enough to take home and try to cook. Plus, the kids thought the tiny pig fish snorts were hilarious! Mom (me) had no interest in fishing when I booked the trip, I didn’t think I could get the hang of it but I wanted it for the rest of the family… Frank had me out there catching fish on my own left and right! Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed.
