    Best Trip Ever!

    Half Day Inshore Trip • 6 adults • 3 children

    Booked this tip so my grandsons could try their hand at ocean fishing. They LOVED it! They were busy and engaged the entire time. The Captain and Crew were great with boys, letting them help and teaching them about the fish and what they were looking for. We left with lots of fish and tired boys..they did say they would see them next year and they wanted a longer trip!

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Spanish Mackerel

    60th Birthday/Reunion

    Full Day Bottom/Troll Combo Trip • 6 adults

    Great time! Wesley was amazng as a first mate!!! We caught plenty of fish for dinner, but according to the Capt after the trip, we were reeling wrong and could have had more. Be sure to ask the first mate to show you how to reel in the fish to maximize yer catch. Heads up, the door to the bathroom doesn't lock, so knock. If your on the tower hold on to your bottles or they'll blow into the water. We left a new cigar lighter in a drawer (too hot to put in pocket), hopefully it will turn up during the big clean this weekend.

    Reported catch:
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)

    this was a very special trip for my two sons and I. We love fishing and have always wanted to go ocean fishing. Captain Jeremy and his first mate Wes made this experience absolutely wonderful. Wes was so knowledgeable and so sweet! we didn’t catch too many, but Jeremy and Wesly made every effort they could to make sure that we did. We caught a big variety!

    Amazing trip!

    Half Day Inshore Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    From the moment we arrived until we got back to the dock the captain amd crew were professional amd friendly. This was the first time my 10 year old daughter was on a boat like this amd fishing in the ocean and she had a blast. Within the first kinute of dropping the first line in the water we were hooked onto a Bonita and we jad constant action. Highly recommended!

What's biting with Backin’ Up Sportfishing Adventures in Manteo

Huge 'Smoker' Kingfish tear around the nearshore structure, while Bull Red Drum patrol the sounds. This is your last chance to battle Billfish before they head south, so save some time for offshore fishing.
