Due to its location, Wanchese is a great harbor to start the fishing charter. It's about as close to the Oregon inlet as possible and the Stolat Captain Paul and Mate Paul are first class. They will make you an expert in no time. Expect to be put in a position to do some catching as well as fishing.

It's all about the weather in the fall. We lucked into a 2.5 ft at 9 seconds day with plenty of sunshine and a light breeze. It was the first day in 8 the boat was able to get out on the ocean due to the weather.

Communicate with your captain and first mate to know what to expect. Captain Duke and his first mate, Dillon, were professional, knowledgeable, and knew what they were doing and communicated what was biting and how far off shore we would be. If you have any questions, just ask.

Go with a big comfortable sport fisher instead of a smaller boat especially if you are bringing beginners or folks who are not familiar with or comfortable on the water. The Game Change is a first class vessel piloted by a first class skipper and crew. Our day was flat and sunny but this vessel can easily handle much more challenging conditions with ease if needed.

Talk to the captain before the trip to get specific information on the trip. Certain types of fish are caught at different times of the year, they will tell you what type of fish you that you can expect to catch while your there.

My three grandsons all said this was the best day of their lives. They are 18, 16 and 12. I would recommend the captain and his crew as my number one choice if you want to enjoy a day on the ocean.

Itโ€™s warm, bring drinks to keep cool and sunscreen. Fish will not be as active as other times. Advice we got was that the fish would be more active as low tide hits.

Be wary of traffic during the summer months. Itโ€™s not horrible, but our 1 hour 25 minute trip there took 1 hour and 45 minutes. Just plan accordingly.
