Premium 6-Hour Outer Banks Fishing Adventure

Reel in the Big Ones: 6-Hour OBX Fishing Trip

Ready to spend a solid chunk of your day on the water, chasing some of the Outer Banks' most prized fish? Our 6-hour private trip is the sweet spot for anglers who want more than a quick taste of OBX fishing, but don't need a full day out. We'll hit the prime spots where the big boys hang out, giving you plenty of time to land a trophy catch and fill the cooler with tasty fillets.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll push off from the dock bright and early, when the fish are most active and the water's calm. As we cruise out, you'll get to soak in those gorgeous OBX views – think golden sunrises over the Atlantic and maybe even some dolphins playing in our wake. Once we hit our fishing grounds, it's all hands on deck. We'll be targeting heavy hitters like Cobia, Bull Redfish, and Black Drum, so be ready for a workout. Don't worry if you're new to this – our crew will show you the ropes and make sure you're set up for success.

Fishing Techniques & Hot Spots

Depending on what's biting, we might do some bottom fishing, trolling, or even sight casting if conditions are right. We've got all the gear you need – top-notch rods, reels, and bait. We'll hit a mix of spots, from nearshore reefs to inlets and sounds. The beauty of a 6-hour trip is we've got time to move around if the fish aren't cooperating in one spot. And hey, while we're focused on the big game, don't be surprised if we hook into some Spotted Seatrout, Bluefish, or Spanish Mackerel along the way. It's all part of the OBX fishing experience.

Top Catches This Season

Our anglers have been crushing it lately. Just last week, we had a group land a 40-pound Cobia after a 20-minute fight – talk about an arm workout! Red Drum have been showing up in force too, with several bulls over 40 inches making it to the boat. And let's not forget the Black Drum – we've seen some real bruisers in the 20-30 pound range. Of course, every day on the water is different, but that's what keeps it exciting.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Cobia: These bad boys are like the prize fighters of the OBX waters. They're known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps. Cobia typically show up in May and stick around through September. They can grow over 100 pounds, but even a 30-pounder will give you a run for your money. Cobia are prized for their firm, white meat – it's delicious grilled or blackened.

Red Drum: Also known as Redfish, these copper-colored beauties are a staple of OBX fishing. The big ones, called "bull reds," can top 50 inches and put up one heck of a fight. They're around all year, but fall is prime time for the bulls. While the big ones are catch-and-release, the "slot" sized reds (18-27 inches) make for great eating.

Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you – Black Drum are a blast to catch and tasty to boot. They hang out near structure and use their sensitive barbels to root out crabs and shellfish. We typically find them in the 5-30 pound range, but they can grow much bigger. Spring and fall are peak seasons for Black Drum.

Flounder: These flatfish might not look like much, but they're one of the tastiest catches in the OBX. Summer Flounder (also called Fluke) are the most common, and they can grow up to 20 pounds. We usually find them near sandy bottoms and structure. They're masters of camouflage, so spotting them takes a keen eye.

Bluefish: If you want non-stop action, Bluefish are your ticket. These toothy critters travel in schools and hit lures and bait with reckless abandon. They range from 2-20 pounds and are around from spring through fall. While they're not the best eating fish, they're a ton of fun to catch, especially on light tackle.
