What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Morehead City, North Carolina for the first time?

Use SPF! He did have limited shade access but if you have young ones it gets hot quickly. All we had to bring was snacks and drinks he had a cooler and provided the ice was honestly the easiest family experience as he done all the bating and casting my boys 6&12 got to reel everything in including a shark!

Book your charter with Swan Point Charters / Capt. Jeffrey when you want the full fishing experience including education on the surrounding local fishing opportunities. He is well versed not only on what is available at that time of the season, but also will put you on the hot spots to make it a successful trip.

To be a little more honest about the type of boat the people will be riding on. I would never have paid $300 to ride on this boat that we was riding on once again was very unsafe and the fishing quality was terrible. The captains appear to be a friendly guy and a nice young person but it just appeared he was over his head just past Saturday October 7th and we all have bad days so maybe he was having a bad day

Be prepared for the heat. It is really hot in July in Morehead, and this July seems noticeably hotter than normal. Fishing can be wonderful or slow, it just depends on the year. Local bait works best on the bottom and lures work when the fish are there but the trick is to find them. If you are in the water fishing, be aware of your surroundings. Almost every time Ive done this Ive had to get out because of a 6-7 foot shark cruising by. (north Shackleford banks) I fish mainly docks and the Core Sound side of Cape Lookout and Shackleford banks, as well as some offshore bottom fishing. Ive had pretty good luck offshore in July as well.

We really enjoyed it , we did not keep the flounder due to fishing laws but other than that we really had a blast any day fish catching nothing is a great day and 100% better than at work! But book with captain dale you wont be disappointed at all !

Captain Corbett and his First Mate, Jeremy were Awesome, and The Wasabi was a great fishing vessel! ,They were professional and courteous and very knowledgeable about fishing the waters around Morehead City and surrounding areas! I highly recommend them to both amateur anglers and seasoned fishermen!

Good Near / Inshore fishing in Morehead City has great clean water and populous fishery. Pretty tame waters for an easy fishing day. We didn't fish off-shore because the gulf stream/deep waters are 40+ miles off shore. Morehead City has several local restaurants to cook your catch. Always contact the captain to set and receive expectations for your best fishing day.

When you are researching a boat to fish with, contact the Captain and get their opinion when it would be best to go fishing for what you want to catch. I talked often with my Captain so we could plan for a great trip on the water.

Most fishing boats start out with no bait fish on board. They troll for them on their way out to the fishing spot. Things might have been different if the Captain of the boat brought along a small amount of bait to get thinhgs started.

It was great, even more fun if you schedule around Big Rock and enjoy the festivities.

We wished we would have caught more fish but that was totally due to weather conditions and not the captain! He was amazing in every way and we plan to book again with him in our fall trip! Thanks JG

If possible, check out fishing seasons for the type of fish you want to catch, and book accordingly.

The weather really worked in our favor… a beautiful day. Started getting a little windy around noon… as we headed back in.

Caught plenty of fish just not all the species we were hoping for because the weather conditions didn’t allow us to target them.

The water is dynamic here. You can find fish in the inlet, off the jetties, around the cape and moving up and down the shorelines. The Fall fishing is spectacular.

Try to not book during hurricane season. The water is not friendly during this time. If you arnt Lt. Dan and do have sea legs enjoy!

The weather was perfect. Light winds, calm sea, moderate temperature. The fish were biting consistently.

Just understand the boat and crew can do everything perfectly, but they don’t control the fish biting.

For this time of year wear layers and a sock hat, and gloves, bring some hand warmers for your pockets,

Be flexible. We fished for albie but we saw others catching flounders and drum. We did catch a dozen small fish in the surf.

Bring some water and snacks aboard. The Captain knows best for where to find the best catch! We caught two spotted drum on our trip!

Be prepared for windy days and choose your charter wisely! Changed plans and went inshore back country river fishing instead of running offshore.

Do your charter research I mean call and be very specific about what you are expecting out your excursion

Just sign up and go out. Rain or shine, fish or no fish, life is too short not to go out and give it a shot.

Spanish Mackerel fishing is a good choice - close to shore, trolling or sight casting, great to eat.

Next time we go out on charter it will be in late april when the water is a bit cooler and the fish are not so deep

Yes, this our third year with Outlaw fish boat. We are coming back for our fifth year.

There are multiple species running at this time, be sure to buckle up for a fun ride.

Learn the fish that are here and the times of year they are going to be in this area!

Too bad flounder are not allowed, because they're abundant. Trout and redfish are targeted.
