What anglers said about fishing in Oregon Inlet

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.

If you have kids and they like fishing and like to try fishing, smaller boats are the way to go.

Fishing sliwed dramatically once we hit midday, presumably due to high temperatures.

Plan your trip a couple days before the end of your visit in case weather hits and you have to reschedule. Pop up storms can definitely change your plans . Bring cash . The credit card app charges a pretty hefty processing fee. Be positive and enjoy the fresh air and time on the water if you don’t hook one. This time of year is definitely geared more towards a morning or late evening time frame if you have kids that aren’t accustomed to the heat.

The bite was a bit slow but that's summer fishing. Not much you can do with that.

Would recommend without reservation. We had just missed trout season, but had a great fishing expedition which was entirely due to Captain Chris who knows the area and has been fishing OBX his whole life.

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.
