I can't tell you the first time I caught a fish at the Outer Banks but I can tell you that most of my greatest memories growing up have been centered on fishing around Hatteras Island. I have a true passion for fishing, which has led me to fish at a competitive level for most of my life. After graduating from high school, I was lucky enough to further my education and am currently finishing my Doctorate Degree at the University of South Carolina. During my time in school I have represented multiple universities in Bassmaster, Boat U.S. and FLW college bass fishing events. I currently represent the Gamecock Bass fishing team during the most fruitful time of its existence. Together, we have won back-to-back FLW national championships and already have two teams qualified to compete in the 2017 National Championship. During my experience as a competitive fisherman. I have represented a number of leading brands in the fishing industry including: Berkley, Lews Reels, ALX Rods, Costa etc.

    Good day fishing in Hatteras

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore • 6 adults

    Capt Ethan quickly found us some hungry blue fish. We all caught some and often had all rods hooked up at once. After the blues we changed it up and fished for shark. Each of my sons hooked into nice sized black tips which was thrilling. Capt Ethan was able to unhook and release them which provided for some nice pictures. Capt Ethan was very accommodating and friendly. Overall a very memorable day fishing on the Seas the Day. Would highly recommend this charter.

    Caught lots of bluefish!

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore • 6 adults

    The bluefish were really active and Ethan did great keeping us on top of them. He put a few on the rod for us at first before we had him running around to unhook fish. Between three of us, we hit our limit within two hours. We puttered around see if anything else was biting and caught a few spanish mackerel before heading in. Overall it was an awesome experience. Ethan was a great guy, we will definitely be back next time we are in the outer banks.

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel

    captain ethan is awesome!!

    Half Day – Inshore/Nearshore • 6 adults

    Well, we didn’t do so great on the fishing, but that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. But honestly, the highlight was that Capt. Ethan sympathized with us and took us to a sand island where we could snorkel, view sea life, and hunt for shells…the island was beautiful! And we had a blast! Recommend him 💯

    we had a very slow day of fishing but Captain Ethan went above and beyond to keep changing things up until we got on the fish! Ethan was very knowledgeable and personable. We will be returning customers next time!

    Ethan is like a human fishfinder. He found and followed bait balls of fish into areas that other boats can’t or won’t go and we crushed them!!

    Captain Ethan asked us if we were up to travel a little further to clear some storms in the area, and we were all for it. He knew exactly where to go to get us hooked up to 5 Mahi on a half day offshore trip! A little rain, and a little rocky, but we were on the fish! Thanks for being so flexible and making this a successful and memorable trip!

    We had a wonderful time with captain Ethan! We caught our limit of blue fish and drums and he kept us on fish our whole trip. Would highly recommend booking with him on your next trip!

Who likes seared yellowfin tuna???

May 14, 2020 • Hatteras
The yellowfin tuna are still being caught off the coast of hatteras. We caught this one about 30 miles from the inlet in about 280 ft of water. Other species of tune such as Blackfin, Atlantic Bonito and false Albecore were also caught on standup tackle using a vertical jig. After the sun was high we switched up and found a nice weed line that was holding some gaffer sized dolphin. We picked up a few heading south against the stream. We stopped by the tower on the run home but there was no sign of Cobia. As water temps warm we hope the Cobia will make a strong showing in late May through early June.
