Awesome captain and first mate. Boat was first rate and we had an amazing experience. Would highly recommend and definitely worth the money. Plan for extra money for the fish cleaning cause you are going to catch fish.

I would watch the weather and fish when it’s a little cooler. I like fishing anytime, but hot weather is testy regardless of whether you’re fishing or on the beach trying to relax. Hatteras is still a great spot.

Absolutely. There’s just something damn near mystical about fishing in Hatteras. It’s unlike any place in the world I reckon. The hatteras natives are damn good people.

To let you know fishing is fishing. You can find the fish but can’t make the bite. The weather was a big factor on this trip. Over a 100 degree end of the fishing trip, humid and hardly any wind.

If you are a family with young children, or if you don't want to be bothered with ocean waves, but want delicious fish, inland fishing is the way to go, and hit it early morning.

Just let the Captain know ahead of time if you have any questions and or requests. We had such a great experience. We did bring some cooling towels and snacks and drinks that helped with heat. Although we were lucky the breeze helped and having an air-conditioned cabin was great! We also took Bonine the day before and 1 hr prior to the charter. No one got seasick.

Variety of fish species available in the area this time of year. Boat and crew very flexible and knowledgeable adapting to these different species as the day goes on depending on the bite. We had success while other boats in the area had some struggles getting fish, would recommend and rebook myself in the future.

Fishing is still good with a good captain however it is not the best time of the year to fish and does narrow the options down on what you can catch

Lots of Red Drum around all year round...fun to catch and good eating. Certain times of the year you can catch beautiful speckled trout. There is also a lot of black drum, sheepshead and flounder around. Its a good spot.
