Duck Hunter

Manteo, United States
50+ reviews
I have been fishing the Outer Banks since I was a small child. Fishing and hunting is something I have always been passionate about, and I love sharing my passion with my customers and creating memories together. I specialize in inshore fishing, focusing on Flounder, Speckled Trout and Redfish, but if my customers prefer clamming or sightseeing, or having a picnic on an island, I can tailor the trip just for you.

    We were carching black drum within minutes. Good time. Captain Josh was knowledgable, answered all of our questions, and taught us a few new tricks

    Fun captain and atmosphere

    6 hour trip • 4 adults

    Hunter loves what he does, and it shows. He arrived with a clean boat and a big smile. I went fishing with him on back to back weeks with customers, and everyone had a great time. We caught a few fish on both trips. Would definitely recommend.

    GREAT FISHING WITH THE DUCK HUNTER

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 1 adult

    So I came out from California for some East Coast fishing for the first time. I have fished Northern California for many years, ocean fishing from kayaks mostly. Booked with Hunter for a half day trip on the sound. Got on the fish right away with 2 trout just over 20 inches right away. We moved around the sound to different spots and got a few more fish. It was a totally AUTHENTIC experience with a local guide. Putting us on the fish is his mission, not cramming as many trips in a day as possible. I would recommend Duck Hunter for your next trip.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Sheepshead

    Unforgettable experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    As a native of the OBX,Hunter is a true professional and does a fantastic job navigating through the sound and other areas. He made the experience for my son and me unforgettable and so fun. Not only did we catch fish,we did some shrimping and caught blue crab. As a bonus we saw dolphins and sea turtles. My 16 year old son doesn’t impress easily, but he said it was an awesome experience. Thank you Hunter! We’ll look you up next time we’re in the OBX. Stay safe brother!
