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.

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.

3 Hour Half Day Trip (AM)
Best experience ever
Our first time doing a fishing trip. We had an amazing time. The captain was -nice-easy to talk to- very knowledgeable. He made the experience 💯 worth every penny. The weather was perfect just no luck 🐠 but neither did any one out fishing that morning (we did get 1 but it got away) 💯 recommend going & with him We will definitely be booking with him every time we come down to the obx.

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.

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.

The only blues we had were the blue fish!
We had a great time! Captain Matt was very knowledgeable, experienced and great to talk to. We caught a ton of large blue fish. On the way back, we encountered some bad weather and Captain Matt got us through it safely and professionally. I would definitely book again. :)
