Great fishing just have to be patient. Caught a lot of fish just wasn't one right after the other.

Windy and we really wanted to catch drum or cobia but they are not in abundance in April. We had fun catching blues and cow nose skates.

Book later in the year if you want to catch a variety of fish. We only caught Tuna and could only take one home.

offshore deep sea trips can go out of pirates cove or anywhere, the nearshore and inshore trips I would stick to the guys at Oregon inlet

I don’t have any idea if the location or weather or what had an impact on whether or not we caught any fish. I am the wrong person to ask :)

Weather is so fickle on the coast. So people need to be prepared to have things change. Also learned that there is a heavy shark presence which makes it hard to catch the super monster fish that we really want to catch.

I recommend live bait, and had success with that. Depending on the weather and water artificial bait may work better.

I’d book the 6 hour trip due to the time it takes to get to the ocean from the dock…

Finding the right captain with knowledge and experience in the area is definitely the number one goal anyone should follow

Take the time and money to charter a guide who knows the area. You'll have a much better time and learn the area.

The best time to fish Manteo is April May and June. You might need to dodge high winds and hurricanes after July through November. Good news though, Manteo has inshore opportunities in the sound for anglers who love to bring home tasty catches. Speckled Trout and Red Drum are GREAT eating fish. So are sheepshead and Striped Bass.

Remember it's called fishing and not catching, so some days you win, some days you don't. But if you're looking for a great experience go offshore fishing.
