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.

Mid day 5hr near shore (noon)
We had a great time with Captain Matt. The weather was an obstacle as it was pretty rough and windy, but Matt was very upfront with expectations and we were game for a good day on the water. It took us a while to get a bite but the sights were worth it. We had a good time talking with Matt and it was an experience being in some rougher weather. Would we have liked to catch some more fish? Sure, but we would happily go out with Captain Matt again. Great guy and a fun day. Thanks for everything Matt.

Mid day 3hr near shore (pm)
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.

Sunset fishing quick trip
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.

Half day near shore mid day
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.
