Captain Devin grew up fishing the Outer Banks of NC. He has also fished professionally all over the world, Africa, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, Bahamas just to name a few places. Since 1993, he's been running inshore trips on his charter boat Poacher out of Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. I've fished my whole life and still get excited from a bite whether it's a Spanish mackerel or a large cobia. I especially enjoy the families I take with small children seeing them running to the rods in a good bite!

    Great crew and a nice variety of fish caught.

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults • 1 child

    We took the half day 12-4 trip. Devin put us right in top of the fish, for which we caught a variety that day including Black Sea Bass, Croaker, Sea Trout and a super nice Trigger Fish. His first mate, Spencer, was cery personable and worked super efficiently helping us while we fished and filet our finish on the way back. The trip was also special because it was the first for my grandson and my wife and son who all caught fish sometimes two at a time! We highly recommend Devin and Spencer. All in all it was a great day, great crew, great weather (sunny but a little choppy) great family outing and lastly plenty fish!

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass
    Gray Triggerfish

    It doesn't get better than this!

    Full Day Trip - Ocean Side • 3 adults

    I've been fishing all my life and this was among the best fishing outings ever! The captain and mate put us on fish and were extremely helpful. Rods, baits, and lures were constantly being changed as we moved locations. I can't tll yo how may ties we had doubles and triples going with no tangled lined and smooth teamwork and communication. Just as we were throwing in the towel and told the captain that we had more fish than we'd hoped for and were just plain tired from all the work, he managed to put me on a big bull red that shattered my personal best. When all was said and done, we had 182 lbs of fish for the fish cleaning crew! So many albacore! We will definitely be back!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Little Tunny (False Albacore)
    Black Seabass
    Bluefish (Tailor)

    best trip so far

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults

    I told captain Devin I wanted to catch some bigger fish than what I usually caught in the sound with other fishing boats. He told me that there were some big bluefish biting a good ways out so we went out 8 miles off shore. With Devin captaining the boat Spencer the deck hand helped all of us get our rods and reels out into the water and continuously helped us with the fish that we caught. Devin put us on the fish and we ended up with our limit on bluefish. After we hit the limit on bluefish we decided to start fishing for albacore and mackerel while on the way back to the dock. Only ended up with one mackerel but it was an amazing fishing trip. 10/10 recommend captain Devin and his deck hand Spencer. Best trip so far we had a Total of 24 fish between 3 people.

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Spanish Mackerel

    Amazing fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults • 4 children

    Captain Devon and First Mate Spencer have a wealth of experience and are super friendly. Spencer kept all rods baited and untangled like a machine while helping our group of six… non stop. The 84 pounds of fish (minimum) we caught included 8 sharks! When we returned to the marina, Devon and Spencer put the fish lined up on the dock, and took group photos. The cleaning crew whisked away the fish to be cleaned and filleted. One is able to purchase coolers and ice at the marina. A fabulous time was had by all!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Atlantic Sharpnose Shark
    Bluefish (Tailor)

    Great fishing trip!

    6 Hour Morning Trip - Ocean Side • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Devan and his first mate spencer were fantastic! We took two 10 year old kids out and they had a blast and made it very easy for them to reel in fish even let thwm hand line thwm into the boat. We ended up with about 30 fish. Mostly Spanish mackerel. One big king mackerel, two albacore and a moon fish. We also tried shark fishing but didnt have any luck. Also the dock side fish cleaning was very affordable and fast. $60 with tip! Booked the 6 hour trip.

    Reported catch:
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Spanish Mackerel
    Little Tunny (False Albacore)
    Bluefish (Tailor)
