The Fish

World Class Fishing

The Outer Banks of North Carolina is a world-class fishing destination. The nearby Gulf Stream provides anglers with the opportunity to make their fishing dreams come true. The Gulf Stream is home to six different billfish, giant bluefin tuna, fast swimming wahoo, yellowfin tuna, colorful mahi mahi, and many more pelagic fish for anglers of all levels to pursue.

In the late summer and early fall, white marlin fishing can be phenomenal. It is not uncommon for boats to rack up double digit catches of these high flying acrobatic fish. If your desire is to test your skills against a real sea monster, giant bluefin tuna lurk the waters off of Oregon Inlet in February and March.
