Make some memories in Manteo and go fishing on the "Clam Chowder". Your guide for the day is Tommy T.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into Cobia, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Redfish, and plenty more. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Trips with OBX Fishing Co are great for kids, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
You'll step aboard a 24' Privateer center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water, Tommy T. will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, 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 recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Coastal Fishing Company aboard the "Clam Chowder"

Special 4 hour trip for Michael Bane
Had a very nice 4-hour trip. Had everything that was needed for a nice trip fishing wrecks and structures. The boat was clean, had a nice variety of bait, it was top quality and fresh. My son (12) had a great time and really enjoyed this trip as well. My son said he liked this one more than the other two extended all-day deep-sea trips we have done in OBX. I highly recommend "Clam Chowder" and the captain, Thomas.

4 Hour Trip - 6:30 AM
Our Captain was very knowledge of the area. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, and we caught a great variety of fish and had a great time. We even saw the sight of an old shipwreck. Would highly recommend.

4 Hour Trip
We didn't come home with any fish, but we had a great time anyway. Captain Thomas Tillet was a pro. He took us to several spots and tried many different methods. He went above and beyond, but fish were just not taking the bait. Still, we had a wonderful time. We even got to see dolphins. No fish but quality time with the family.

Morning Trip
Enjoyed a half day trip with Captain Thomas! My 15 yo son is very serious about fishing. He not only had a great time, but actually learned a thing or two. He caught several fish, various kinds, big and small! I was impressed how knowledgeable and respectful Captain Thomas was! We’ve done a lot of charters, I would definitely recommend Captain Thomas!

We had a great experience with Captain Tom. Caught a lot of Spanish mackerel while trolling and then ended the trip with some bottom fishing. Our kids had a great time and it’s always good to be out on the water. Easy going and wonderful time!
