Depends on the day and conditions as always. However, you must have an experienced Captain like we did, or spend your day fishing and not catching.

Great place to charter out of. Look up Zack & Tanner from Cost of Living to allow them to give you a great experience. once you dock, drop your catch off at the fish cleaning shack while you grab a bite to eat at the restaurant on site while your catch is filleted.

Choose the right boat and Captain as we did. We were only out for 4hrs and caught 32 fish. We initially wanted an all day trip but the Captain (of the Poucher) saw the upcoming weather before we even went out and stayed in touch for updates.

I would defintely recommend the charter experience. All fishing gear was provided. All we had to do was bring ourselves and any food or drinks. A carefree day of just being on the water.

I've been on 2 fishing trips in the 2 weeks we have been here. Fishing has been hit or miss in the ocean but the sound is producing a nice mix of croaker, spot, some blues

I’m not sure I can recommend much. I really like Wanchese. For those on their first fishing trips bring a cooler to take your catch home. All the folks there are helpful and friendly. They clean your fish on site and charge based on weight. The crew who cleans the fish are great. They have an ATM on site. If you don’t want to pay fees bring cash. Tip the cleaning crew, they’re great! And, cash is king!

If you're a first timer, be prepared to listen and learn. This is a good crew for first timers and you'll have a lot of fun. Bring a cooler with your food and drinks and dress for the weather.

Simply put this is fishing, so there is no gurantee that you will catch fish no matter what time of year it is. We were fortunate enough to get lucky and catch a lot of fish the day we went.

If yer on the Backin Up, take the captain's comments with a grain of salt, he knows fish but is a bit salty when communicating with newbies.
