Tarpon
Mid-Summer
Tarpon fishing out of Oriental is best in June and July. Although half-day tarpon trips are available, full-day trips are preferred. Climb aboard and help me spot the silver flashes of tarpon rolling on the surface. Tarpon fishing is catch-and-release, but the fun you'll have fighting these large fish is definitely worth your time!

Old Drum
Late-Summer
Join me on the Pamlico Sound and its tributaries for a day of drum fishing. We'll put out of Oriental and ride for a while before settling in for some fun. Old drum fishing reaches its peak in late August and September, with the best fishing around the full moon. Go to the Plan Your Trip page to view current and future moon phases for help with planning your trip.

King Mackerel & False Albacore
Fall

Customize Trips As Needed
All fishing trips accommodate up to 4 people. I provide all the bait and
tackle that is needed, unless you choose to fly fish. You will need to
bring food, drinks, sunscreen, rain gear, and a cooler to put your fish
in when we return. Be prepared for anything, as the weather in
eastern North Carolina can be unpredictable. Individual fishing
licenses are not required but are recommended.
