What anglers said about fishing in North Carolina

Due to the weather the sound wasn't as clear as normal and with the water temperature high the fish were a bit lazy to bite, but not horrible. Still an amazing day on the water.

We had a very windy day and therefore had to stay in the waterway. The ocean was too rough to venture out. The captain certainly made the right call to keep us in calmer water. We caught a some keepers and the group certainly enjoyed themselves. Hopefully next time weather will be better and we can get on the ocean to catch some bigger fish. That said, we were very happy with what we caught.

Bring plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen. Do the captain and first mate a favor leave the beer and mixed drinks for after the trip at home.

Not certain - expectations vary depending on individuals experience and knowledge of past Fish’n with the Captain. It’s great to catch fish and I go for my grandsons to enjoy and to date they enjoyed each trip. Maybe we they are older we can go to deeper water for different fish if that’s an option. Lastly to all be respectful to the Captain and 1st mate as our boat both are professional and share history of their days on the water and area.

The weather is what makes it or breaks it. The hot summer days makes the bite slow down. If possible wait till fall because that's when everything is hungry before winter. We were lucky to have had some rain and a overcast day. But it wouldn't be fishing if it was easy, it would be called catching.

You never can predict what the fish will do but we got some in trolling and then four sharks on drifting. Sure it could have been more active but also could have been a skunk! It all depends but it was hot and there was a good breeze and we had a great time.

Talk to your Captain before your trip. Ask what he would recommend that you bring along with you that you might need to make your trip comfortable and enjoyable. Check the weather before you go on your trip to make sure you are wearing appropriate clothing. Take your kids along. They will enjoy it.

Have realistic expectations. It is fishing. You may not get a large number, but hopefully everyone will have a good time and you will get something. The experience and time spent together was worth the time and money.
