Fresh Oregon Inlet Fishing Reports

Highly recommend Old North State fishing charter Great for family and kids aslo

Plan accordingly. Take motion sickness precautions. Talk to the captain for anything needed during trip.

Contact the Captain you are booked with and get as much info as you can from him. Capt. Vinny knew what was coming with a late weather forecast change, and let us know the night before our trip what we were to expect. So we made a change of plans and set out on schedule to a different destination. May weather in North Carolina is somewhat unpredictable and changes fast. So keep in touch up to departure and they will put you on the fish!

Start with a shorter trip with an experienced captain (such as Captain Randy). These guys know the sound so well, you’re almost guaranteed to have a great time.

make sure pack sweatshirt weather can be little tricky . But water calm fish biting !

I would recommend waiting a little later in the year for the water temps to warm up a bit.

If a storm comes in and changes everything might want to reschedule because the water is too rough.

In our 4 hours, we casted in 4 different locations. It was a great opportunity to learn how to fish. Thanks

We took two vehicles. Google Maps got one vehicle there fine. Apple Maps was a disaster and sent my daughter miles out of the way. Put the campground across the street in your gps if you are unsure you are going to the right place.

We have fished the surf and sound in the early season for years, but we would end up buying our fish at the seafood market. With the "Poacher" we went out 5 to 7 miles in the ocean and caught 25 sea bass. The 40 foot boat made us comfortable taking on large waves until we reached the fishing area. The captain and the first mate made fishing enjoyable for all. We are looking forward till we vacation again and book the Poacher for another fun time.

Lance told us that April is a pretty "dry" fishing month, but we just wanted to get out and relax on the water. Mission accomplished.

I would give Seth on the artemis a call and you will have a great experience.

It's all about timing. Unfortunately while we were here the drum weren't coming in quite yet and the fishing was slow.

If your visiting from out of state or not familiar with fishing in the area, give Captain David Luke Lance a call. Great with kids and extremely knowledgeable about fishing in the area.

Dress for colder then expected weather. You can always remove clothes when it warms up.

Trust your Captain he knows were to find the fish , don't eat alot before you go on your charter, an have fun beautiful wild life

Talk to the captain prior and get some ideas about your trip. It's all about communication.

Got a little more wet than I thought but it was a hot day so it worked out perfectly

Be prepared for a long day on the water. Pack snacks, sun block, and something to drink. Be patient. Fishing is an experience and will be fun.

Be ready for a good time. This marina has everything, included plenty of boats and captains that will catch whatever is in season.
