My grandfather and father were both avid fishermen so I've been fishing from a young age. Everything from panfish in a pond to offshore Billfish tournaments, I love to fish.

    Fantastic trip!

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore • 2 adults

    Zack and Tanner were both awesome! I booked a surprise 6 hour trip for my wife and I and it was nothing short of spectacular. Their knowledge of the industry and allowing us to be hands on was such a fun experience. We were on top on the Blue’s almost immediately and caught roughly 12 within 20 minutes and they suggested to head out off the beach about a mile to go after larger fish and once again, they got us on top of Spanish Mackerel non stop with 60 in about 2 hours. We highly rccommend them and will be booking a yellow fin tuna trip with them this comkng Spring of 2027! Thanks for a great trip, Zack & Tanner!!

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Spanish Mackerel

What's biting with Cost of Living Sportfishing 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!
