Tom Hughes

Wanchese, United States
50+ reviews
Captain Tom Hughes has been fishing since he was big enough to hold a rod on his own. Six years ago he decided to turn his passion and hobby into a full-time job and started guiding customers. He's caught a lot of trophy-sized fish, but his proudest catch is a massive 100 lb Cobia. He loves socializing with his customers and getting to know them. A true outdoors fan, he's usually out before the sunrise – he hopes to share this love with every single guest that comes on board.

    Highly Recommend Captain Tom

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Tom was great. His expertise is evident and made sure we had a good time. Weather was testy and not much was biting early on but he made sure to shift locations until we had hooked some Drum. Overall a great trip and highly recommend booking with Wet Kitty Charters

    Half day trip with Captain Tom

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Couldn't have been better. Tom made sure that everyone was comfortable and did everything he could to find fish on a bad fishing day. Our group caught enough ribbon for lunch and dinner. Would highly recommend for beginners and pros alike. Too bad we can't give more stars. Will definitely go back again

    Reported catch:
    Black Drum
    Cobia
    Bluefish (Tailor)

    Full day with Captain Tom and the Wet Kitty

    Offshore Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    When we arrived at the marina the CPT gave a quick overview of the boat and safety equipment. He was eager to start early and get a jump on the fish. He laid out a game plan and didn't waste any time. While heading out to the water, CPT made numerous calls to get us on the fish. After hammering some monster tile fish (4 citations) we were after the tuna. Due to some difficult conditions the tuna could not be found. Can't say the CPT didn't try. We had a blast. Everything was top notch. From the crew, equipment, knowledge of the water, and the whole trip. We would 100 percent recommend CPT Tom and the Wet Kitty. Hopefully we can get down here again soon.

    Half day charter with Captain Tom

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We wanted to catch fish to eat and Captain Tom made sure that happened. We went to several different spots and caught 40+ fish (although we didn’t keep them all). He is knowledgeable and so fun to hang out with for the day. Will absolutely book with him again in the future!

What's biting with Wet Kitty Charters – High Water Adventure in Wanchese

Change is a-coming as the pelagics start to leave the Gulf Stream. But fear not, monstrous Kingfish are on their way and the inshore season is just around the corner.
