As a general rule, the longer you go out, the better your chances of fishing. For someone who is not used to going out on a boat, a full day on the water can be a long time. Fishing trips usually come at intervals of half a day (four hours), three quarters of a day (6 hours) or full days (8 hours). Since it often takes more than an hour to reach good fishing areas, travel time on a half-day tour can be consumed simply by traveling.
Although fish can be caught anywhere, even outside the port, it increases the chance of a good catch if you move to the 6- or 8-hour charters. As is the case with most activities, if the fish bite and you catch them all day long, your day will pass quickly, but it can be a long day on the water when you're just shaking the channel. And then there's fishing on the high seas. These charters usually take you so far from the coast that you can no longer see land.
Depending on the area, a deep-sea trip can last from a full day or a night to a whole week. The goal is usually to catch a trophy fish, so it will be a difficult experience, especially for beginners. There are a variety of fishing adventures to choose from, and it all depends on what you want to fish and how far you want to go. Coastal and near-shore spots can take you after Spanish mackerel, ribbonfish, sea bass, tautog, shark, ribbonfish, cobia, drumfish, bluefish and swordfish, while offshore spots bring mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo and marlin fish into the mix. Most of the time, yes.
Since we fish every day and ocean conditions allow us to go, we generally know where the fish are. In half a day, we usually travel between 8 and 15 miles to the fishing grounds. This means that the journey time will be between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on how far we go and what boat you have booked. Most half days will enjoy about 3 hours of fishing.
We usually started by going to the place where we were fishing the day before. Most of the time this works very well; however, from time to time conditions change during the night. When conditions change, we can usually make one or two quick moves and go back to fishing. From time to time, we may encounter problems in half a day when the best fishing is far away. When this happens, the trip consumes a lot of time.
So if the fish don't cooperate in the first few areas, we quickly find ourselves in a time crisis. These are the days when a full day makes a difference in the world. However, most of the time our captains are very good at predicting where to fish and can take customers fishing on half-day charters. We publish our success rates for each type of trip per month on our reporting page. You can also see what each trip captured as a comparison. Head to the coast to fish for blue-line whitefish, black bass, golden-white, black-bellied pinkfish, grouper and more.
Fishing trips can last anywhere from four hours to several days. This will largely depend on the package you choose; however in most cases, the average length of a deep-sea fishing trip is around eight to ten hours for day trips and around three days for extended excursions. Outer Banks charter fishing is the great deep-sea fishing this area is known for. Charter fishing on the Outer Banks means heading out to sea towards the Gulf Stream where giant species of fish such as marlin tuna and dolphin lurk. Fishing charter boats are big business on the Outer Banks; it is common to gather a crew of approximately six people willing participants can split the cost of a trip. This is a great way to fish if you're new to Outer Banks fishing trips if you don't have all the tackle you need or if you just want a quiet day on the water.
If you really want to increase your chances of spending time in the combat chair it's worth hiring a guide. Outer Banks fishing head boats are large boats that take out a lot of people at once and provide all bait and tackle plus a useful companion. Headboats take passengers on bottom fishing trips either in sound or in nearshore ocean waters and wreck off coast of Outer Banks main boats are ideal for children because there are restrooms and refreshments on board and offer half-day trips.
