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, 20263 adults2 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!

More fish than we could eat for dinner!
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Nearshore on August 17, 20262 adults1 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.

A Fantastic Family Fishing Trip in the Outer Banks
2 hour inshore on July 22, 20262 adults3 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!

Fantastic Fishing!
4 Hour Trip (PM) – Nearshore on June 1, 20265 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!

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.
