    Amberjack after amberjack — an outstanding day with Patrick

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    What a fishing session. Patrick really listened to what we were after, and then took us somewhere we never expected — and it paid off big time. We landed plenty of amberjacks, all of them a great size, with some serious fights at the end of the line. You can tell straight away he’s passionate about it: he knows the area, the bottom structure, the fish and the baits inside out. On top of that he’s a genuinely cool, easy-going guy, and he took the time to explain everything to us throughout the trip. If you’re thinking about a trip with Patrick, don’t hesitate. Thanks again, and see you next time!

    Great Red Drum Bite!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults

    Had a blast fishing with Captain Patrick. Booked him for a 4 hour trip and we hit the water searching for the Red Drum bite. We had some luck with bluefish early on but the drum didn’t start to bite until later on. Wind started to pick up pretty good but Patrick went above and beyond and kept us out on the water longer so that we could catch the drum we were looking for. We ended up catching a handful of bluefish, 2 slot keeper drum and a nice breeder size drum which we released. Patrick was also very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He made our experience with him very fun.

    Great day on the water!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    This was our 2nd trip with Captain Pat! this time he took us fishing in the ocean for Spanish Mackerel. He taught us everything we needed to know so we could reel in and set up the lines when needed. We saw multiple pods of Dolphins and caught enough fish for the whole family to enjoy some great fish tacos! Thanks Pat!

What's biting with I Sea Fish 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.
