Roanoke Island Fishing Reports

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.

Get ready for some beautiful scenery as well as plenty of areas to search for multiple species. Very well maintained parking lot and boat ramp.

Captain Kenny and Brandon his first mate really know their business. The Carrisma is a great boat to fish from and we had an awesome fishing trip.

Manage expectations. Every trip is different- sometimes you catch, sometimes don’t.

Great area for the novice and experienced anglers. There is so many different types of fish to pursue.

Let the captain guide you in planning a trip most appropriate for your party.

Try to get a morning trip weather for shrimp with the family or fishing mornings are always better i have been on many characters.

Nags Head has always provided great fishing, but don’t expect it to be easy in the middle of summer. The better fishing, in my experience has been in the spring or later in the summer/fall.

What a great place to set out on a Sportfishing trip. The weather is great, great location and the fish are biting.

Remember it’s not called catching, it’s called fishing and just enjoy the experience.

This was our first time fishing in Manteo, we caught a quantity of small fish that will be perfect for dinner, which was our goal. We also took and hour to go for another type after we had the quantity that we were looking for. It was a great experience, a little different than we expected, but a good time was had by all. We know it is early in the season so we did anticipate to have less options as far as what was biting.

We were hoping to catch a bit more fish, but the weather was maybe a bit too perfect with no current whatsoever. Still able to bring in speckled trout, gray trout, flounder, red drum and had a couple of blues get away.

Big game fish are 40 miles out so plan an all day charter. Inshore fishing is fast and furious and fish are smaller. Fun nonetheless!

If you are a serious fisher I would not recommend this time of the year. I would wait until May or November time frame when there is a greater vary of fish,

Bring sunscreen and plenty of water. Fish are biting so expect to be out in the sun.

Ribbon fish are predators and scare other fish away…but great eating so that is a bonus.

Plenty of charter options. Tiki bar was great. Filet guys were fast. Ships store was great. Friendly folks all around.

Read the reviews of the many different charters before you select schedule a trip.
