I'm a 3rd generation fishing captain and owner-operator. I have been running trips out of Oregon Inlet, North Carolina, since 1993 and have fished all over commercial and charter. My crew and I take pride in our strong network of boats in the Oregon Inlet fleet, and we all work hard to stay on top of the best fishing option for the conditions. My crew and I have been featured on two seasons of the National Geographic channel's 'Wicked Tuna Outer Banks' hit series, where we finished 3rd place overall for the season against some tough competition like the 'Hot Tuna' and other cast members! We just wrapped filming of Wicked Tuna Outer Banks, season 6, aboard the Kahuna! We had an excellent Bluefin season, and I can't wait for everyone to watch! I can't reveal any details about the season yet!

    We struck out on Tuna but still caught fish

    Offshore deep sea gulfstream fishin' • 3 adults

    Due to no fault of the captain or first mate, it just wasn't in the cards for us to catch tuna when we went. There were only a few charters that ended up scoring one. However the captain and first mate made sure we at least finished with fish in our cooler. After trying all day and striking out, we moved on to catch more than enough tile fish to eat for months! We appreciated his persistence and effort to try and get us a Tuna. Next time, we hope. Thanks to Reed and Justin.

    Awesome experience for the entire group.

    Full Day Trip – Offshore • 6 adults

    The captain and mate were knowledgeable and helpful. This was the first time I have caught yellowfin tuna. Compared to other saltwater trips I have made this was the best boat and crew I have been with. All 5 people in our group caught tuna and we will use them when we go again. If you want to catch tuna take this boat.

    Reported catch:
    Yellowfin Tuna

    Took my two kids for first time for deep sea fishing. 10yr and 12yr had a great time as did the adults. Caught 14 big tunas and had a blast. Crew was personable and perfect for first timers doing a deep sea outing. Boat was roomy and very clean with all the amenities you could need. Will be booking with them again next time I am in town.

    Captain Reed and 1st Mate Jeff gave us a great day of fishing! The weather did not cooperate with our originally scheduled day so Captain remained in contact with us and was able to get us out on the best day possible. We caught yellow fin and black fin tunas. Great day of fishing!

    I feel like I was overcharged and because of that I probably won’t book again. When booking the trip I agreed to pay $2600.00 I paid the deposit and that left a balance of 2340.00 when the trip was over and I was paying the captain I was then charged an additional 6% sales tax. I’ve fished a lot of charters from Maine to Florida and I’ve never been charged sales tax before. There was no mention of said tax in the booking. I would have appreciated transparency on any additional fees that I never agreed to

    Marcy And her son were back to fishwith us this week and they wore out the mahi! Add a few tunas to it and a Blue marlin for the centerpiece! What a day those two had! Not to mention last year these two caught 30 blackfin tuna and a limit of yellowfin tuna with us!

    We spent most of the morning hunting for a marlin where we caught multiple the day before but it seemed as if the water had moved up the beach so i went looking for it but only found more current and grass. After plowing through the gulf weed for a few hours we found a blue tarp and a box crate and both were loaded with nice summer MAHI!

    Had a GREAT TIME with Reed and Omie. Tried for billfish or wahoo, or both, but stumbled upon lots of Mahi Mahi, which stuck around for 70+ minutes an gave us quite a thrill. Would definitely enjoy another boat ride on the KAHUNA 4.0

    Our august fishing is NOT disappointing so far we have seen some unreal mahi action this week with great sign s of yellowfins as well! The sailfish have moved into our arra in great numbers as well this week.

What's biting with Kahuna Fishing Charters in Nags Head

This is the top month for giant 'Smoker' King Mackerel, so get your stand-up gear ready and prepare for some arm-melting action. Too stressful? Stay inshore and catch Red Drum and Striped Bass instead.

Top catches for November
