    Tons of fun

    Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) - 3:30 PM4 adults

    Captain Spencer was great! We hit a few spots and caught our first Red Drum about 30 minutes into the trip. We even had 2 fish on at the same time and hooked a couple of bluefish too. Everyone in our group ended up catching fish. I would definitely recommend an afternoon/evening trip. The fish were biting at the end of the day and we had a beautiful sunset to close out the trip as we returned to the inlet. We'll definitely be booking with Absolut again in the future!

    Rainy Great Day!

    Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) - 3:30 PM4 adults

    The weather didn’t play in our favor unfortunatley… But boat captain Spencer was game to still take us! We fought the weather for the first part of our trip but luckily it cleared up later. Spencer was knowledgable, personable, and fun! We all had a good time lots of laughs and caught some fish too! All his gear was in great shape and top of the line. Boat is super clean and in great shape!I am already trying to decide if I should book one more outting with him before we leave.

    we had a grrat half day with captn Spencer. He was awesome, 3 of us caught red drum over 42 inches within 20 minutes of our trip, and caught another just over keeper size, at the end of the trip we went outside of the inlet and caught some spanish mackerel to cook for dinner. It was a great day!

    Best Charter on the Outer Banks!

    Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours)4 adults1 child

    Our fishing charter was hands down the highlight of our vacation. Captain Spence was professional, friendly, and worked hard from the moment we left the dock to make sure everyone had a great experience. He put us on fish quickly, kept the lines baited, and shared plenty of knowledge about the area and the fish we were targeting. The equipment was top-notch, the boat was clean and comfortable, and it was clear he wanted me and my 3 boys to succeed.

    good trip

    Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours)4 adults1 child

    The captain was very good and made sure my grandson would catch something which I appreciated . We basically caught small sea bass and nothing else . I did have to move my confirmed time which was the morning trip to the afternoon trip after the captain called with a scheduling conflict which was very inconvenient for us and then was told how good the fishing was that morning.

What's biting with Absolut Fishing Charters in Manteo

Huge 'Smoker' Kingfish tear around the nearshore structure, while Bull Red Drum patrol the sounds. This is your last chance to battle Billfish before they head south, so save some time for offshore fishing.
