Fish Advisor - Wanchese
Wanchese has a fish with your name on it, so let Capt. Matt and the Fish Advisor help you catch it! With Captain Matt at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters are home to, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, wahoo, sailfish, sharks and more if conditions are right. These species are all dependent on the trip that you choose.
You’ll target your catch by spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Your day begins aboard a 34’ Center console with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.
Capt. Matt has rods and reels for you.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Beer is the only alcohol allowed.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Fish Advisor is just a click away.

Sunset fishing quick trip
Peaceful trip, knowledgeable captain
We went on the sunset 2 hour trip with 4 adults and a two year old. The captain was very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure the toddler was comfortable before going out. We were fairly inexperienced with fishing in general and definitely wouldn’t have been able to tell what kind of fish we caught, but the captain knew immediately and gave us tips on how to bring the catch in. We caught 2 blue fish and 2 Spanish mackerel in an hour. The views were incredible, too.

Mid day 3hr near shore (pm)
Great views, great company, great fishing!
Captain Matt is a class act. Prior to booking, he was quick to respond on the messaging app within FishingBooker and answered all my questions. Once on board, Captain Matt made sure we learned a lot about fishing in the area, the Oregon Inlet, and more. We were followed by a pod of dolphins which was incredible to see. We did a 3hr tour in the evening. While we only caught two fish (one Mahi and one spanish mackerel), we had a great time! I fully recommend Captain Matt to anyone looking for a fishing and educational experience.

Full Day Trip - Inshore/Nearshore
Capt Matt is the man!
On a day when no one was catching much of anything Capt Matt put us on a boat load of Mai and an Amberjack. Knowledge Captain that shares his fishing wisdom and is very laid back. Toilet is a huge plus and he even provides water and has rain jackets if necessary. Definitely recommend Capt Matt for both the novice and experienced fisherman.

Great Trip
Had a great time on the fish advisor, beautiful weather on a nice fast boat. Fishing was a little slow but thats why its calling fishing and not catching 😉 My dad and I had some great conversations with the captain and shared lots of laughs the whole day. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a fun time.

Matt is a fantastic captain for chartering in the obx area. My wife and some friends felt spontaneous for our last day in the area and booked with Matt. Mid day 4hr trip bagged 10 fish total (Blues and Spanish Macs) and we would do it all.over again. Hopefully plan to do just that in the future. Matt is a great option to get out on the water for not only fishing but for a great time. We definitely recommend booking him for a trip.
