While on vacation in Outer Banks, we decided we wanted to do a fishing trip. Captain Mike answered me promptly about the fishing for the week and we were able to book a trip for Thursday. He sent all the information we needed before hand and was ready for our trip at 7am. The weather called for wind, but it was still manageable and Captain Mike was very considerate to not get us soaking wet. Our trip started slow but he made sure to get us on some fish! We were able to catch some gorgeous Sea Trout and a Weakfish. Mike is super knowledgeable about the area and truly cares about the fisheries in OBX. As someone who works in fisheries and with charters before, I would absolutely recommend Old School Fishing Charters for a fantastic charter fishing experience. Thank you again Mike and we hope to fish with you again in the future! - Amber, Cody, Mike and Josh

This was our 3rd time fishing with Captain Mike out of Wanchese Harbor. We started out in Pirates Cove. We had some new anglers on board and they were quickly brought up to speed on the basics. The fish were biting ok, everyone saw at least some action and it was shaping up to be another nice morning. But then Captain Mike made a clutch decision to relocate south and within minutes, our nice morning became an epic adventure. Everyone was catching fish. It felt like we were pulling them in almost non stop and we ended up with our best day ever in OBX. We make this trip almost annually and we are certain to be coming back!

The fish bite was slow, but Captain Mike put in the effort to get us on several different types of fish. Very knowledgeable and a great person to go fishing with. Will absolutely book with him again when we come back to the OBX.

Capt Mike put us into fish the whole time.  He is very knowledgeable of the fishing conditions and what baits to use.  It was a really fun time.  I would recommend Capt Mike if you are looking to catch fish in OBX.
