Background: Captain William Ross has been fishing his home waters of the Outer Banks for over 25 years. His knowledge of the Oregon Inlet, Pamlico Sound, and the Atlantic ocean will make sure you have a safe and productive day. His passion for fishing and willingness to teach others are many of the reasons he has chosen fishing as a full-time occupation and way of life on the water.
Techniques: We like to use as light tackle as possible, encourage angler involvement and make it a fun trip for all

3 Hour Inshore Trip (Mid)

Capt. Will was awesome. We had been on a couple charters before, but never in the Outer Banks. Brought my wife and 2 sons. My older saw someone catch a red drum on the pier a couple days earlier and he really wanted to catch one. I asked Capt. Will if that’s what we could do amd Capt. Will delivered. We caught 7! Everyone had a great time and Capt. Will and his boat were top notch. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great experience with a Capt. who knows his way around the... More

The captain was fantastic! We caught twelve red drum in three hours. My father, who is an experienced deep sea fisherman, and my seven year old son were both on the trip with us. I thought it might be challenging to get a charter that they would both enjoy. Inland was perfect for beginners and experienced alike! The captain was fantastic with my son. He can’t stop talking about it. If you are trying to decide whether to book a trip with Captain Will, do it! We were all very pleased with the... More

Got there and immediately found the boat at the front of the marina loaded up and headed out. We had a small dog and the first thing captain Will did was offer her a water bowl. We were fishing for trout and started hooking up at each spot we stopped at. We had a couple beginners that were struggling at first but the captain did a great job of correcting there technique and everyone caught multiple keepers. Thanks again!

Great 3 hour trip! Captain Will was great, super knowledgeable. Even with the hot weather and a slow bite Captain was still able to put us on some fish and send us home with a little dinner. Caught some nice keeper Speckled Trout.

Really enjoyed the trip. The captain was very knowledgeable and explained that the conditions were going to be a little rough. Because the conditions were a little rough and the weather change, I believe this to be why we didn’t get the fish we were targeting.What I did enjoy is the fact that the captain found alternative options and we hooked on other species of fish.He is a great Captain that adapted the weather change,kept us safe, and put us on the fish that were available at the time.
