For near shore fishing, this boat was ideal. Had an internal seating area to keep us out of the short rain storm we experienced at sea!

Your targeted species might not be hitting on a given day so be prepared for the Captains to change to different species. We were going for Blues and Black Drum but ended up having to switch to Spanish Makerel.

Choosing a seasoned captain, like Capt tom- whose family has been on the water of Hatteras for over 200 years was key! Get a Capt who can navigate the shoals and waters, but also getting you on the fish. We have a six-year-old so we did half day starting at noon. Next time we will probably take the early trip and spend a second after the day enjoying the nearby beach.

I've done a couple of inshore trips and they've always been productive. Keep in mind that your captain can't control the fishing, some days are better than others. Also the weather plays a factor on what is bitting.

Check with your captain, and consider booking a longer trip if the big fish are being caught further from shore so that you'll have time to get out there and get 'em!

My son and daughters first fishing trip. My daughter seemed to catch a fish every time she dropped her line. Capt. Brian snagged a huge catfish for my son to reel in. It was almost as big as he was. What an experience!

Take cash. Remember to tip the mate - 20% is customary. Fish cleaning is available on site, but there may be a wait if other charters were successful.

Really important to check out conditions to make decisions on weather and wind which can change the movement of the fish. A good Captain like the one we had will find an alternative option. With bad weather it's hit or miss.
