Captain Clay has always loved fishing, no matter if it is in fresh or salt water. He keeps his charters low stress and full of fun and is very safety conscious. He loves to teach both kids and adults how to improve their skills and is very patient with all angler levels. More than anything, he loves being out on the water and seeing everyone with a smile on their face.

    Kids special was a great little trip!!

    2 hr Kids Special Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    We chose to go on the 2 hour kids special trip, our daughter was so excited to get the chance to go "fishing on the boat" and the 2 hr trip was perfect for finding out how she would handle being on board. Captain Clay was great with our daughter and helped her catch her fish on a boat. Also he brought us to a nice little island to explore the beach. If you are looking to bring a young child out for their first boating experience I highly recommend Captain Clay and Above C Level Adventures.

    Family Day

    4 Hr Inshore Trip • 3 adults

    Great communication & actually got to go earlier than when booked. Overall a good day for the conditions of weather we had fishing for the week. Which we had a great family time out on the water. We did catch a few fish but nothing like earlier in the week. Like I said weather played a factor even the offshore boats were trolling inland cause they couldn't get offshore that day. Will take another charter in the future with Above C Level. (After the trip was over my kid said he actually like the hands on experience with this charter unlike some other charters where you sit and wait for fish to get hooked then you reel it in) Thanks again

    Reported catch:
    Flounder

    Captain Clay

    4 Hour Bay Fishing (AM) • 4 adults

    My two sons and I went on a long weekend to visit my other son stationed in Florida in the Air Force. We wanted to spend some quality time together doing something we all enjoy. We had found Captain Clay on fishingbooker.com and booked. Captain Clay reached out immediately asking questions about the occasion, us and other things that could help him provide the best experience he could… and he did. One of the first things he did was thank my son for his service. Got us on board the boat and took us catching! Captain Clay was educating, patient (with the tangled lines) comical and not a bad DJ either. We will be back to do more catching!! Thank you Captain Clay! Mike

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Flounder
    Speckled Trout
    Grunt

    Captain Clay was great with are sun nice time on the water. Experienced anglers might want to book something longer as they well know. But if your looking to give it a go and see what this is like definitely recommend.

    Captain clay was great and took good care of us... just not much biting today. We only got two sting rays and lots of seaweed. We only did a quick 2 hr tour, so I'm sure given more time captain clay could have gotten us some big ones!

    I would highly recommend above sea charters. You will always catch fish even on days the other charters are struggling. First class service and experience.

What's biting with **Above C-Level Adventures** in Wanchese

While many may want to stay close to shore during November to try to fill the boat with Drum, Trout, and Bass, there's still plenty going on offshore, where the Tuna bite is in its prime!
