Captain Froggy's Charter Fishing is a sought after charter located in Wanchese, NC. Captain Froggy and captain Mike provides professional fishing trips that sell as hotcakes. If you want to place your bet on one charter to take you out and turn your day into a great fishing adventure, book your spot.

Wanchese overlooks some of the finest fishing spots in the area. Pamlico Sound lies nearby, and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean are a boat ride away. This means that Capt. Froggy knows how to put you on a variety of fish.

You'll go fishing aboard a 25' Carolina Skiff center console that can take up to 6 people. It is powered by a 250 HP Suzuki 4 Stroke engine and can reach speeds of up to 35 knots. In its lifetime, 'Here Fishy Fishy' has taken numerous customers out on the water and provided memorable fishing excursions to many kids.

The boat is rigged with the standard safety and navigational equipment, and also has a flybridge, live bait well, and an icebox. For more precision, it is equipped with outriggers and downriggers. Whether you want to troll for Spanish Mackerel or cast a jig for Redfish and Flounder, We know how to go about it. He's also a grandfather of 9 and simply adores when kids come along.

Depending on the season and fish biting, you will encounter the likes of Striped Bass, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Redfish. Cobia and Tuna are not an uncommon sight. These fish swim at different distances from the shore, and that will determine what you'll catch. One thing is sure, though – this charter is a safe choice wherever you fish.

When you step aboard, you'll be greeted by the captain and his first mate. You'll get rods, reels and tackle, lures, and live bait. No need to worry about the license, it's been taken care of.

    Amazing Trip - Drum in the Sound

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Inshore on June 18, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Firstly, Captain Froggy called the day before to give me a rundown, which was great. I’ve never had another Captain do this. He also informed me that Captain Mike would be taking us out on the trip. We met Captain Mike at the boat the day of, he gave us the safety rundown and welcomed us aboard. As we were on our way out he answered all of the possible questions, a very knowledgeable fisherman! Long story short, we quickly got on some nice drum! It wad a blast! Captain Mike made sure that we had a good time. Thank you, gentlemen! I highly recommend Captain Froggy’s charter!

    Fantastic Fishing!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Nearshore on June 1, 2026 • 5 adults

    We all had such a great time with Captain Mike. Although the ocean was too rough that day to go out, we had a great afternoon fishing in the sound. Captain Mike found us a really good fishing hole and three of us were able to land some huge red drum with the biggest being 34 inches! My dad has been fishing on various trips throughout our years visiting OBX and he said this was the biggest drum he ever caught. I highly recommend booking through Captain Froggy, it was a great time had by all!

    Best Day!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Nearshore on July 9, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had booked a near shore trip, but the captain had gone out earlier and commented on the breakers being tough. We opted to do sound fishing instead. We caught Pin fish, Blue fish. It was awesome just catching these fish sometimes 2 at a time! My husband and I had decided that we want to do this at least once a year! I would recommend anyone to give them a try. Micheal was awesome and we had a great time.

    More fish than we could eat for dinner!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Nearshore on August 17, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt Froggy and his first mate Drake worked hard to find us the fish; with the idea of getting enough for dinner, and then going after something bigger. We caught 22 Spanish Mackerel and 1 Blue Gill which gave us more than enough to eat that night. We weren't able to pull in a Red Drum, but all in all the trip was great and my kids had a blast.

    great trip!! worth the spend

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Inshore on June 8, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    captain mike was great! super accommodating! Great with the kids. He even noticed when they were cold and offered rain coats to keep warm saving the trip. At one point we had 4 rods hooked up all at once. fishing is a patience game and this was definitely one we will do again! bring drinks and snacks to fill in the gaps and you should have a great time! Maybe a couple extra layers because it gets cold if its windy and cloudy.

    Another great trip!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Nearshore on June 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    We rebooked another trip this year with Captain Froggy. The experience with him and his grandson is always great. He does his best to find you the fish. This trip would have been even better with more fish but that was no fault of Captain Froggy at all. I would definitely book again and fully plan to.

    Great fishing experience

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Nearshore on July 2, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Mike was great. He made the boat ride in and out very manageable for members of our group that experience challenges with heavy swell. We managed to catch several Spanish mackerel which always makes the time on the water even better. Thank you again for an awesome time.

A Fantastic Family Fishing Trip in the Outer Banks
2 hour inshore on July 22, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

We had a fantastic experience with Captain Froggy’s Fishing Charter! Captain Michael had everything ready when we arrived and made our 2-hour afternoon trip enjoyable from start to finish. He put us on the fish, and we caught two beautiful red drum measuring 31 and 35 inches, along with a nice bluefish. He also kept extra rods rigged for smaller fish, which kept our three young daughters engaged and excited throughout the trip. Captain Michael was patient, knowledgeable, and wonderful with our kids. Everyone had an amazing time, and this was one of the highlights of our Outer Banks vacation. We highly recommend Captain Froggy’s Fishing Charter!

Great half day inahore fishing for family
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Inshore on July 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 4 children

It was first time taking out 4 boys aged 4- 13. Captain Mike was great with the kids. He kept them safe and made the fishing experience fun. Captain was very proficient in his craft, explaining things to adults and kids well. Bery personable. He was able to put on to bluefish and the kids caught lota of croaker and pinfish. Well worth the time and money. Would definently go through Captain Froggy again.

Born and raised right here in coastal North Carolina. I have fished ever since I was old enough to walk. Fishing and hunting are my passion, and I am blessed to be able to do it as a living. I am a grandfather of 9 and love kids. There is nothing like seeing the smile on a kid's face when they catch a fish.
