    Good day fishing in Hatteras

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore on July 15, 2026 • 6 adults

    Capt Ethan quickly found us some hungry blue fish. We all caught some and often had all rods hooked up at once. After the blues we changed it up and fished for shark. Each of my sons hooked into nice sized black tips which was thrilling. Capt Ethan was able to unhook and release them which provided for some nice pictures. Capt Ethan was very accommodating and friendly. Overall a very memorable day fishing on the Seas the Day. Would highly recommend this charter.

    Caught lots of bluefish!

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore on August 13, 2026 • 6 adults

    The bluefish were really active and Ethan did great keeping us on top of them. He put a few on the rod for us at first before we had him running around to unhook fish. Between three of us, we hit our limit within two hours. We puttered around see if anything else was biting and caught a few spanish mackerel before heading in. Overall it was an awesome experience. Ethan was a great guy, we will definitely be back next time we are in the outer banks.

    Ethan knows his stuff

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore on June 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Ethan is like a human fishfinder. He found and followed bait balls of fish into areas that other boats can’t or won’t go and we crushed them!!

    Very knowledgeable & made sure that my 7yro had sucess!

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore - 12:00 PM on May 28, 2024 • 4 adults

    Captain Ethan was very knowledgeable and made sure we had success. He is an extremely hard worker. We told him we wanted to make sure our daughter had a good time. He started us out in the sound because he thought the ocean might be too rough for us especially with a 7 year old on board. He heard shortly after we got started that it was calm enough for us to go out. She was a little scared going over the waves in the ocean, but he was doing his best to make it as smooth as possible. She was able to try to reel in a couple of blue, but they would bite the line or slip off. The blues gave us a good fight & were a lot of fun. On our way back he stopped at one more place in the sound to let our little girl try one more time. She finally was able to catch 2! She was very excited! I loved that he cared enough to make sure her first fishing trip was a success! I highly recommend Ethan!

captain ethan is awesome!!
Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore on August 9, 2026 • 6 adults

Well, we didn’t do so great on the fishing, but that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. But honestly, the highlight was that Capt. Ethan sympathized with us and took us to a sand island where we could snorkel, view sea life, and hunt for shells…the island was beautiful! And we had a blast! Recommend him 💯

I can't tell you the first time I caught a fish at the Outer Banks but I can tell you that most of my greatest memories growing up have been centered on fishing around Hatteras Island. I have a true passion for fishing, which has led me to fish at a competitive level for most of my life. After graduating from high school, I was lucky enough to further my education and am currently finishing my Doctorate Degree at the University of South Carolina. During my time in school I have represented multiple universities in Bassmaster, Boat U.S. and FLW college bass fishing events. I currently represent the Gamecock Bass fishing team during the most fruitful time of its existence. Together, we have won back-to-back FLW national championships and already have two teams qualified to compete in the 2017 National Championship. During my experience as a competitive fisherman. I have represented a number of leading brands in the fishing industry including: Berkley, Lews Reels, ALX Rods, Costa etc.
