Be wary of traffic during the summer months. It’s not horrible, but our 1 hour 25 minute trip there took 1 hour and 45 minutes. Just plan accordingly.

Be prepared for how much fish you can catch and how you’re going to get it home. We caught our limit and left with 343lbs of tuna!

Be ready for anything, with the changing tides and water temps you never know what to expect on the other end of the line! Keep them lines tight and have fun!

Always choose a well equipped and comfortable boat for your outing, and Captain with long time experience in the area.

Go to Austin's, Ethridge's, or Billy's Seafood Markets. Fish are fresh, service is superb, quality and selection are outstanding. And you will save yourself over $400 the charter will cost!

Take dramamine and supplement it with coffee or an energy drink! It will make you drowsy, but it beats the alternative.

Fish were plentiful and the entire family had a great time! It’s hot, but it’s summer time so just bring plenty of water and you’re good to go!

Communicate with your captain if you want to try a variety of fishing techniques! If you're a novice ask to do bottom/wreck fishing.

Jeremy Patterson
Just contact the people at Oregon outlet and tell them what your looking for and they will take care of you!

Sandfleas, bloodworms, and squid seem to be the meal of choice for many of the species of fish in OBX in June!! Grab your pliers because the toadfish are hungry too!!

Captain seemed disinterested, and minimally engaged. He did attempt to keep us on the fish, but I would not rebook with him. The mate was great.

I wish we would have caught more but it is called fishing not catching! Still had fun and Russell was great!

Doug Marshall
Plan accordingly. Take motion sickness precautions. Talk to the captain for anything needed during trip.

Tough to align a spring break with warm water temperature, but if possible and fishing is your objective, best to fish later in spring or summer

Trust your Captain he knows were to find the fish , don't eat alot before you go on your charter, an have fun beautiful wild life

Nags Head has always provided great fishing, but don’t expect it to be easy in the middle of summer. The better fishing, in my experience has been in the spring or later in the summer/fall.

If you are a serious fisher I would not recommend this time of the year. I would wait until May or November time frame when there is a greater vary of fish,

Watch the time of the year to understand what will be biting when you will be here. We were hoping for more variety than what the current conditions allowed.

Parking there was ok. Not clear how the procedure to pay for having the fish cleaned after the trip is to be done.

Try the near shore fishing and use a local boat they know their area and will make it a much better time.

James Yohe
Be prepared for a long day in the sun, our day was absolutely perfect with minimal waves.

Dan Purcell
Great trip. Captain worked hard to put us on fish. Caught a few. NIce sheephead.

Bradley Armentrout
It’s hit or miss this time of year. Don’t over expect. We had a good day but others didn’t

Christopher Szymoniak
Make sure you bring sunscreen! And it's fishing, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good!

Marc Ferguson
Yes! Jonathan had everything needed and taught us techniques on different types of fishing.

Bill Lucas
The wind and weather can effect the fishing this time of year but when its good its really good
