Great Day out Oregon Inlet

Half Day Trip - 6:30 AM6 adults1 child

We had a great day of fishing! Lots of fish caught. Very knowledgeable Captain and First Mate. They were friendly and great with kids of all ages. We caught Spanish mackerel, bullets, and four large red drum to finish the morning trip. It was a great day!

    What a great day!

    6 Hour Morning Trip - Ocean Side • 5 adults

    Had the best time with Captain Devon and First Mate Spencer! We started catching blues right out of the channel and then went on to catch Spanish Mackerel, False Albacore, and Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks! I think the catch weighed in at over 213 pounds! This team is great at not only catching what they target, but also treating the fishing party with respect and patience, something a lot of charters could learn to be better at! Thanks for a great day!

    It doesn't get better than this!

    Full Day Trip - Ocean Side • 3 adults

    I've been fishing all my life and this was among the best fishing outings ever! The captain and mate put us on fish and were extremely helpful. Rods, baits, and lures were constantly being changed as we moved locations. I can't tll yo how may ties we had doubles and triples going with no tangled lined and smooth teamwork and communication. Just as we were throwing in the towel and told the captain that we had more fish than we'd hoped for and were just plain tired from all the work, he managed to put me on a big bull red that shattered my personal best. When all was said and done, we had 182 lbs of fish for the fish cleaning crew! So many albacore! We will definitely be back!

    best trip so far

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults

    I told captain Devin I wanted to catch some bigger fish than what I usually caught in the sound with other fishing boats. He told me that there were some big bluefish biting a good ways out so we went out 8 miles off shore. With Devin captaining the boat Spencer the deck hand helped all of us get our rods and reels out into the water and continuously helped us with the fish that we caught. Devin put us on the fish and we ended up with our limit on bluefish. After we hit the limit on bluefish we decided to start fishing for albacore and mackerel while on the way back to the dock. Only ended up with one mackerel but it was an amazing fishing trip. 10/10 recommend captain Devin and his deck hand Spencer. Best trip so far we had a Total of 24 fish between 3 people.

    Amazing fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults • 4 children

    Captain Devon and First Mate Spencer have a wealth of experience and are super friendly. Spencer kept all rods baited and untangled like a machine while helping our group of six… non stop. The 84 pounds of fish (minimum) we caught included 8 sharks! When we returned to the marina, Devon and Spencer put the fish lined up on the dock, and took group photos. The cleaning crew whisked away the fish to be cleaned and filleted. One is able to purchase coolers and ice at the marina. A fabulous time was had by all!

    Best Captain and Mate!!

    Half Day Trip • 6 adults

    We had a BLAST!! The captain put us on put us on the fish as soon as we got out there! At times we had 4 rods on fish at the same time and the mate was “on-point” and handled it like it was nothing while laughing and joking with everyone. If you want fish, this is the boat to be on! We are looking forward to the next time!
