Outer Banks Outdoors-Salt Grit – 37' Topaz 

4.9/5 (94 reviews)
 4457 Mill Landing Road, Wanchese, NC 27981, United States

Outer Banks Outdoors offers a variety of trips out of Wanchese, North Carolina, from inshore fishing in the sound to unlimited adventures offshore. Captain Ches Tyson grew up fishing the Outer Banks and is ready to put his lifetime of experience to work for you. From top to bottom, inshore to offshore, he provides a fully customized experience.

Step aboard a 37’ restored Topaz powered by twin 380 HP QSB Cummins engines. This vessel will enhance your capabilities to the fullest, featuring outriggers, a live bait well, fishfinder, and a toilet onboard. There’s room for up to six passengers.

While fishing the Outer Banks with Capt. Ches you will have your choice of inshore, nearshore, and offshore fishing. A half day trip allows you to explore the sound and inlet for Flounder, Bluefish, Red Drum, or even Cobia and Striped bass when conditions are right.

Adding a couple more hours to your trip gives you the choice to venture into the ocean, where you can fish the towers and wrecks for Amberjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, and more.

On the other hand, a full day trip has no boundaries—spend the day fishing inshore or head up to 25 miles out in search of big game trophies. Bottom fishing offshore is a chance to catch some of the tastiest fish in the sea, including Seabass, Triggerfish, and Tilefish.

Outer Banks Outdoors provides a license, bait, and Penn fishing gear. Trips run from February to November.

Come aboard for unlimited opportunities while fishing the Outer Banks of North Carolina!

The Captain was up front and told us fishing was going to be tough. However he still got us on some fish. The boat was very comfortable and the first mate was very friendly. I would book this charter again.
