Wife and I booked a full day with Captain John, hoping to get out onto the ocean and hook into some bigger fish like Amberjack or Cobia. We got out there and it ended up being way too rough before we got to the wreck we were trying to get to. Captain John suggested we go closer t...

Captain John and his mate provided a close and personal experience with inshore fishing in the Manteo area! The interactions with the captain sharing his historical knowledge of growing up in Manteo area made for a Great story telling experience!
