Born and raised right here in coastal North Carolina. I have fished ever since I was old enough to walk. Fishing and hunting are my passion, and I am blessed to be able to do it as a living. I am a grandfather of 9 and love kids. There is nothing like seeing the smile on a kid's face when they catch a fish.

    Amazing Trip - Drum in the Sound

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Inshore • 5 adults • 2 children

    Firstly, Captain Froggy called the day before to give me a rundown, which was great. I’ve never had another Captain do this. He also informed me that Captain Mike would be taking us out on the trip. We met Captain Mike at the boat the day of, he gave us the safety rundown and welcomed us aboard. As we were on our way out he answered all of the possible questions, a very knowledgeable fisherman! Long story short, we quickly got on some nice drum! It wad a blast! Captain Mike made sure that we had a good time. Thank you, gentlemen! I highly recommend Captain Froggy’s charter!

    A Fantastic Family Fishing Trip in the Outer Banks

    2 hour inshore • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had a fantastic experience with Captain Froggy’s Fishing Charter! Captain Michael had everything ready when we arrived and made our 2-hour afternoon trip enjoyable from start to finish. He put us on the fish, and we caught two beautiful red drum measuring 31 and 35 inches, along with a nice bluefish. He also kept extra rods rigged for smaller fish, which kept our three young daughters engaged and excited throughout the trip. Captain Michael was patient, knowledgeable, and wonderful with our kids. Everyone had an amazing time, and this was one of the highlights of our Outer Banks vacation. We highly recommend Captain Froggy’s Fishing Charter!

    Fantastic Fishing!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Nearshore • 5 adults

    We all had such a great time with Captain Mike. Although the ocean was too rough that day to go out, we had a great afternoon fishing in the sound. Captain Mike found us a really good fishing hole and three of us were able to land some huge red drum with the biggest being 34 inches! My dad has been fishing on various trips throughout our years visiting OBX and he said this was the biggest drum he ever caught. I highly recommend booking through Captain Froggy, it was a great time had by all!

    Great half day inahore fishing for family

    4 Hour Trip (AM) – Inshore • 6 adults • 4 children

    It was first time taking out 4 boys aged 4- 13. Captain Mike was great with the kids. He kept them safe and made the fishing experience fun. Captain was very proficient in his craft, explaining things to adults and kids well. Bery personable. He was able to put on to bluefish and the kids caught lota of croaker and pinfish. Well worth the time and money. Would definently go through Captain Froggy again.

    Best Day!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) – Nearshore • 2 adults

    We had booked a near shore trip, but the captain had gone out earlier and commented on the breakers being tough. We opted to do sound fishing instead. We caught Pin fish, Blue fish. It was awesome just catching these fish sometimes 2 at a time! My husband and I had decided that we want to do this at least once a year! I would recommend anyone to give them a try. Micheal was awesome and we had a great time.

What's biting with Captain Froggy's Charter Fishing in Wanchese

Trout are well and truly back, as are Red Drum inshore. However, when the weather's fine, nothing beats the Tuna action offshore! Head out to the Gulf Stream and get your fill of these monsters!
