The rocks
+2
This trip will be a all dayer . We will head out early in the morning hang a right at the seabury and run about 14 miles. At that point in time we will drop our rigs in trolling for whatever might bite which are blue fish Spanish mackerel false albacore and then slowly head out off the beach where the fish get bigger. We will end up on a couple racks and on a pile of rocks searching for some of the best fish that you can eat and let's don't forget looking for a good fight. This will be a 10-hour

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM)
Nearshore trips are great to experience high-quality sport fishing in the Outer Banks while staying close to shore. Six hours give the captain more time to go further and target different species. Depending on the season, you'll run into Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, False Albacore, King Mackerel, and possibly Wahoo. One of the largest nearshore boats available, the 53' Viking sportfish is nothing like you've experienced before. A great trip for younger kids. The departure also possible at 10:30 a.m.

Taylor and Edward were great
5/5
First off, the boat dock was easy to find. Taylor and Edward provided a great atmosphere for me and the kids. We caught fish, talked, and had a great time. Plenty of room on the boat for my crew of 5. We would definitely book Miss Banx again.

July fishing trip
5/5
We had a great time fishing inshore with Captain Jonathon! He kept the lines baited and made sure my three kids were engaged, letting them cast themselves while fishing for trout. All three of them caught fish 🐟 and had fun!

Great morning on the water!
5/5
Went with 4 older boys, and everyone caught something. Spanish mackerel and bluefish were biting. Plenty to take home and have for a great lunch! Boat was clean, big enough for everyone and with an air conditioned area was great for a break out of the heat. Captain had us on fish within 10 minutes and his 1st mate was friendly and helped us know what to look for when getting hit. Overall a great experience!!

Fishing Conditions Challenging
5/5
Wind was strong and water temps were down due to tropical storm that passed by two days ago. But Capitan and Mate worked really hard to find us fish and our grandkids were thrilled with the result. We'll return to Hayden Express again next year
