What anglers said about fishing in North Carolina

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

Had an awesome time with Kent! We had two young boys with us and he was very patient and helpful the entire time. He is clearly knowledgeable and put us on fish in multiple locations. We will definitely be using him again next time we’re in NC!

Be patient. Tides can be very important and can completely change the fishing. We didn’t start seeing a ton of action until the tide started to go out. Also, dress appropriately. Cold mornings and hot afternoons!

Dress for the weather you have and be happy when you get fish in the boat. You may not catch what you were planning to catch but that’s what you call fishing.

Be ready for any kind of weather. Ocean water temperature was about 70 degrees in mid-October. Air temperature experienced during our mid-October visit was from 45-82. But, in-shore, near shore, and offshore fishing should be available most days.

Pick a day that doesn't consist of clear skies if any way possible. Cloud cover definitely helps the trout bite.

Don’t go fishing in the ocean with expectations of catching a trophy…but you never know! Try everything your guide suggests (they know what they’re doing and WHEN to do it), and enjoy the ride. Maybe don’t watch Jaws the night before like we did.

Captain Thomas was amazing. He’s been fishing all his life. He knows exactly where to go to get the fish on your plate. My family loved him. Great vibes. Caught way more fish than what we expected. WE ARE EATING GOOD TONIGHT! Even if we were to not catch any fish, was a great time with Captain Thomas. Definitely recommend!

It can get windy on the water as the boat is moving, especially in the morning so you may want a jacket. Be ready to be patient and enjoy the water and surrounding.

We come in October every year to take advantage of the great weather and fishing. We highly recommend the backwater trip if you enjoy the thrill of catching red drum.

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.

May want to bring a light jacket especially for children on early morning trips. The captain can only do so much. Know that just because you charted a boat that doesn't mean you're guaranteed to catch a boat full of fish.
