Captain Froggy’s Charter Fishing is a sought after charter located in Wanchese, NC. Captain Froggy 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, Capt. Froggy knows 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.

**Capt. Froggy and his mate will be wearing face masks at all times. They will be sanitizing the boat in between each trip, so you can feel free to book a trip with no worries!**

    This trip takes place in the ocean. You normally stay relatively close to the shore, and target Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Cobia, and Redfish. It provides variety, so if that suits you, this might be just the perfect morning action. The gear is on board, pack your stuff, and come along.

    This trip takes you out to the ocean. You'll target many species of Shark. Since most are protected, it is catch and release only, unless we are fortunate enough to catch Cobia along the way. It is great fun, good hard fights, and often lots of action.

    A bit later start time, but still plenty of bite. You head out to the ocean, and usually target Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Cobia, and Redfish. If you only have 4 hours and still want some variety of fish, this is an excellent match. No need to bring the gear, it's waiting for you on board.

    You will fish in the evening until around sunset for large Red Drum. This is the best time of day to catch them generally using cut bait in the sound or on the sandbar in the inlet. It is catch and release, fish normally range from 30 to 50 inches, and weigh up to 70 pounds.

    You will go into the Pamlico Sound and fish 10 to 12 commercial Blue Crab pots. The clients get to keep all the legal Crab, you can expect about a bushel of Crab. After that, you will spend the rest of the trip fishing light tackle. Great trip for kids.

    If you want to have a later start, this trip allows just that. But, it also provides plenty of fishing opportunities. It's great for kids, especially if they want to try out fishing. You don't need to worry about the gear nor the license, just bring your camera, necessities, and hop on. Then go fishing in the sound for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and bottom fish.

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.
