We had an absolutely incredible experience with Stolat Fishing Charters and Capt. Paul and mate Paul!

We were two dads taking our four kids, ages 3–10, out for the day while the wives enjoyed a well-deserved kid-free day. We honestly weren’t sure how four young kids would do on a fishing charter, but Paul and Paul absolutely knocked it out of the park.

After about a 25-minute ride out of the harbor, the lines went in and we were immediately on fish. What followed was about 2.5 hours of almost nonstop action. We had four lines out and at times were fighting three fish at once. The kids were absolutely ecstatic.

What impressed us most, though, was how great they were with the kids. Paul, the mate, didn’t just help them reel fish in — he took the time to actually teach them how to fight the fish, work the rod, and then even let them hand-line the fish the rest of the way into the boat. He was patient, encouraging, and made sure every one of the kids was involved and having fun.

By the end of our four-hour trip, we had landed 92 fish — 90 Spanish mackerel and 2 bluefish. More importantly, four kids walked off that boat absolutely thrilled and with a fishing story they’ll probably be telling for a long time.

Capt. Paul and Paul exceeded every expectation we had. If you’re looking for a charter in the Outer Banks, especially if you’re bringing kids, we couldn’t recommend Stolat Fishing Charters enough. We’ll absolutely be back!

I have been fishing in the OBX for years and after the last few years I made it a point to find a new captain. I explicitly stated I did not want to come back with nothing but blue fish. Obviously there is no way to just catch one type of fish in the ocean and Paul let helped give other suggestions like offshore and wreckage trips. However, we were more keen to stay inshore on this trip. All in all we caught 4 blues and the others were spanish mackerel (what I was looking for). I am not sure if we just got lucky or this was due in part to captain Paul knowing the area so well. Either way I couldn’t have been happier with our trip and would recommend him to others! Little Paul was great too! Oneal’s was also fantastic for fresh fish we did not catch and wanted.

We had about 8-9 on the line.  Caught 6.  Kept 3.  Fillet them at the dock.  Took them to Sam & Omie’s to eat.  Captain Paul and his First Mate Paul were great.  Nice boat.  Large lounge for anyone needing to get out of the sun.  Great for family or buddy fishing.

These gentlemen were total professionals. They did everything possible to make our trip enjoyable. They made everything clear and were helpful in every way. Boat was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely consider a future charter with them.

Both Captain Paul and First Mate Paul were friendly and accommodating. Captain Paul was communicative before the trip and the first mate was a wealth of knowledge during. Great trip for beginners. At some times we had all four fishing poles with catch on them. Wear sunscreen and comfy clothes. Flip flops were fine. We caught blue fish and spanish mackerel.
