    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Family Fishing Trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM)4(pl) max. • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome experience with Sounds Good Fishing Charter! We went out as a family with our 12- and 10-year-olds and had a blast trolling for Spanish mackerel. We caught plenty of fish and the kids had a great time. After that, we headed inshore and were able to hook into a red drum, which was a great way to finish the trip. Captain Mike was fantastic—personable, patient, knowledgeable, and especially good with the kids. He made sure everyone was involved and having fun throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing charter and want to put some fish in the boat, I’d definitely recommend Sounds Good Fishing Charter. We’ll absolutely go out with Captain Mike again!

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)

    Target species acquired!

    Half Day Trip (AM)4(pl) max. • 2 adults

    I took my step grandson for his first fishing trip in the sound. We fished with cut bait without success. We then switched to popping corks with soft plastics. My step grandson toyed with one fish for about 10 minutes before it took the bait. We were using light tackle and a great fight ensued resulting in netting a 17” speckled trout. We caught other fish as well, but this one catch made the day! Captain Mike is a great guide for teaching young anglers how to fish. I will be fishing with him again!

    Response from Captain

    Awesome trip!

    2hr. Fishing trip 4pl.(max) • 2 adults

    We had a great time with Captain Mike. We caught our bait and moved to catch a big trout, a skater, and a crab. Many bites and he was fun to talk to and knowledgeable. Will go back to him next time we are here.

    Fish weren't biting great but Capt Mike kept searching and finially caught some fish. From what I could tell no other boats was catching them as well. Hats off to Capt Mike for a good time and working hard to helping us catch fish !!

    we booked our trip shortly before a storm was on its way in, capt mike called me and gave me the option to cancel my charter because they didnt have much luck the day before, and the weather was making conditions worse. we decided to still go out, we limited out on trout, mike knew where to take us to have a good chance on a bad day and we struck gold. Awesome dude, get out there and fish with Mike!!

    Wow, just wow! From the first minute to the last Captain Mike was on point. He got us on the fish and that is great. Even if we didn't catch one fish the day would have been worth it. I could write a novel telling you how worth the day was. He was friendly and talking to those fish all day long telling them to bite. If you want a great day no matter what then go with Captain Mike. Aye, aye Captain!

    Captain Mike got us on fish quickly in the morning.My nephew tore it up reeling them in. He got the BIG fish of the day! Both of us enjoyed it all. I highly recommend fishing with Captain Mike, especially if you have a young person or a beginner. Thanks, Captain Mike!!

What's biting with Sounds Good Charters in Wanchese

While many may want to stay close to shore during November to try to fill the boat with Drum, Trout, and Bass, there's still plenty going on offshore, where the Tuna bite is in its prime!
