Join Cutawhiskie Charters, based in Wanchese, North Carolina, and together you will explore the sound, marsh flats, inlets, and Atlantic Ocean on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, one of the best fishing areas on the East Coast. Let Captain Clay McPherson guide you to all of his favorite hot spots in the area.

Charters are aboard the ‘Sandy Anna’, a first class 26’ Center Console Mako that is equipped with a 250 Yamaha 4 stroke, top of the line Furuno GPS Navigation and Digital Imaging Fishfinder electronics, and multimedia system. It also features a flybridge, fighting chair, live bait tank, ice box, and all fishing tackle.

Cutawhiskie Charters will have you tackling a wide variety of fish species that this area is blessed with, such as Trout, Flounder, Red Drum, Sheephead, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and more, and all within an entertaining and laid back environment. The crew cater to both novice and seasoned anglers and are family friendly, so bring the kids along for a fun day on the water! All trips include fishing gear and tackle, bait, and licenses.

If you have a certain species of fish you wish to target, or are just looking to catch whatever is the biggest and biting the best, Captain Clay will make sure you have the best opportunity to target your desired fish, and are comfortable on board the vessel.

Captain Clay has always loved fishing, no matter if it is in fresh or salt water. He keeps his charters low stress and full of fun, and is very safety conscious. He loves to teach both kids and adults how to improve their skills, and is very patient with all levels of angler. More than anything, he loves being out on the water and seeing everyone with a smile on their face.
