What to Expect on the Water

We'll be pushing off at 7:30 AM sharp, so grab your coffee and let's hit it! The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the fish. Our skipper, Captain Roland Mulder, knows these waters like the back of his hand. He'll be your guide to the hottest fishing spots around Hatteras, where the bite is always on. We're talking about targeting a mixed bag of inshore favorites - Cobia, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, and Speckled Trout. With room for up to 4 guests, it's the perfect trip for a family outing or a day out with your fishing buddies.

Tricks of the Trade

On this inshore adventure, we'll be using a variety of techniques to maximize our catch. Depending on what's biting, we might be doing some light trolling for Spanish Mackerel, or bottom fishing for those tasty Sheepshead. Captain Roland's got all the gear you'll need - from light spinning tackle to heavier setups for the bigger game. We'll be working the inlets, sound-side flats, and nearshore waters, switching up our tactics as we go. Don't worry if you're new to this - the Captain's always happy to show you the ropes, from baiting your hook to setting the perfect drag. Before you know it, you'll be fishing like a local!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Spanish Mackerel: These speedy swimmers are a blast to catch and even better on the grill. They're usually hanging out near the surface, so we'll be keeping an eye out for birds diving - that's a dead giveaway. Spring through fall is prime time for Spanish, and they love to hit fast-moving lures. Get ready for some exciting topwater action!

Bluefish: Pound for pound, these guys are some of the hardest fighters you'll encounter. They've got a mouthful of teeth and an attitude to match. Bluefish can show up any time of year, but they're really firing off in the warmer months. We'll likely find them busting bait on the surface - it's a sight you won't forget.

Summer Flounder: Also known as fluke, these flatfish are masters of camouflage. They lie in wait on the sandy bottom, ready to ambush anything that swims by. We'll be drifting and jigging to entice these tasty bottom-dwellers. The bigger ones, called doormats, are a real prize and make for some excellent eating.

Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes, Sheepshead are as fun to look at as they are to catch. These structure-loving fish have powerful jaws full of human-like teeth, perfect for crushing crabs and barnacles. We'll be targeting them around pilings and jetties, where their favorite snacks grow. It takes a bit of finesse to hook 'em, but the fight and the flavor are worth it.

Cobia: The heavyweight champion of our inshore waters, Cobia are the fish that dreams are made of. These bruisers can top 100 pounds and will test your stamina like no other. They start showing up in late spring and stick around through summer. Sight-casting to these giants as they cruise near the surface is an adrenaline rush you've got to experience to believe.
