The Fishing
THE INSHORE TRIP..This trip is our most popular. We fish in Oregon Inlet, the adjoining sounds and up to 5 miles in the Atlantic Ocean. THE INTERMEDIATE TRIP...This trip is at least 6 hours. We fish outside of Oregon Inlet further than 5 miles in the Atlantic Ocean. Many times this trip will present the opportunities for larger fish such as cobia, amberjacks, king mackerel, or possibly dolphin fish. Species availability will depend on time of year and weather and water conditions.

I will rely on my experience as well as other’s to provide you with the catch you desire, but if there is one thing I know for sure it is no one man knows it all. Therefore, I urge you to get involved and ask questions. I want you to be a part of the fishing experience rather than just a spectator who reels the fish in when it is hooked as may be the case on some boats.
WHAT TO BRING...All bait, ice, and tackle will be provided on the boat. If you so wish to bring your own rods or other tackle feel free to do so. You will need to bring your own food, drinks, sunscreen and seasonal clothing. Please feel free to bring a cooler if you want but limit it to one. More than one carry on cooler will make walking conditions problematic aboard D.O.A. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me.
