We did both the half day fishing trip and the sunset dolphin cruise. The trips went well…read more Keep in mind that these boating trips are highly dependent on the weather and what may seem like good condition conditions on land are not always the same out on the ocean. The trip can get canceled, so it's best to book them during a time where you'll still be able to reschedule if needed. Both our fishing trip and the sunset cruise were canceled due to poor conditions, but because I booked them earlier in the week, we were able to reschedule and still do both later in the week. My daughter (who is only 9) got sea sick on the fishing trip, which was a bummer but the crew and other passengers were very kind and helpful. There needed up being several sick people on the trip. It seems like a norm for this kind of thing. I guess you don't know until you try it. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more info about how long it would take to get out of the sound and how long you would actually get to fish. Of the 4 hours we booked, we fished for maybe a little over an hour. It took 1 hour to get out and 1 hour to get back. Then there is moving around in between. My son loved it though. He caught several fish and was able to take a couple home. Overall, it was an interesting experience and I would take my son again. The sunset dolphin cruise was great. The crew was awesome and the music was nice. We didn't see any dolphin but I knew booking that it was a maybe. I'm a glass half full kind of person, so it depends on your expectations and how you handle things. Just cruising around on a boat with the sun going down was super nice. I was a little worried because it said smoking was allowed on the boat, but thankfully no one was smoking because it would've made me sick and I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Another cool highlight of the trip was that on the sunset cruise there was a kid fishing off the back (a family member of the captain I assume) and he allowed my son to fish with him. A fish was caught, and he told my son he could take it home. The captain even fillet the fish at the dock for us. It was such a fun and unique experience. Everyone run Miss Hatteras was great!

I recommend you de-stress by going for a trip on the Miss Hatteras! She is a fishing boat that sails out of the picturesque Oden Dock in Hatteras, N.C. Our leader for the trip was Captain KP Scott, also the owner, and is supported by first mates Chase and Wolfie. Natalie Scott is also a Captain but most frequently is the one booking your trip over the phone and does all kind of other important tasks. All were friendly, helpful and professional. The half day trip is approximately six or seven miles off shore. Trigger fish and black sea bass are most commonly caught. Please be generous with these hard-working mates, 25 percent tip based on the trip cost is a reasonable gratuity. Highly recommend the Miss Hatteras!

The stories that you hear, lol as we know how fish stories go if this is the best place to go out on a fishing excursion and actually catch fish., not knowing whether to believe the fish tails or not we decided to give it a try I've always loved fishing and hey why not. We had no idea which boat to choose or anything else so it was just kind of luck of the draw. It started off, once we reached the point that Captain Jack wanted to la said anchor out of MySpace. And then nothing, 4 hours nothing. But during this time Captain Jack in his first made tiptoes quite amused with various fish tales of previous days in the years. Of course we love hearing all the crazy fish tails and had a great time. Luckily for us, the fish started biting again and it was like a feeding frenzy. We could barely get Airline back out we were catching another fish. Most of the fish were definitely keepers and we ended up with a smorgasbord of fish for dinner including mahi mahi, tuna, and wahoo. Can't say I'm crazy about flying fish but I sure enjoyed eating it. Overall a wonderful day it was a great experience and I would definitely do it again. If you go to the OBX make sure you check this out and take a half day or full day fishing excursion. You will think yourself and have a wonderful time. What's a girl to do? When you love to fish and you're on the water you take advantage of it.

This is a beach on the sound side of OBX. The ocean side was too too windy today and the waves were…read morecrushing us. It was too much for our kids so we headed to Salvo. It was a blast. The beach is clean, has easy access from the car, there are public restrooms, and it is big enough for many people to share. There are picnic tables, but you may want to bring your own seats. I'd suggest beach umbrellas also if you want any type of shade. Since it is the sound side, there are no waves and it is 1-2' deep almost everywhere. Check out my pictures for how far out we were and we could have kept going. This was a really fun day, we brought inner tubes and did a lot of floating. People were also jet skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and sail boarding as well. The place is big so we never felt crowded at all. A+ day.

There were a plethora of fishermen and fisherwomen. I was astounded by how many catches everyone got, in the hour I spent on the pier. Many different types of fish were caught using different lures, fishing rods, and homemade contraptions. There was a shop, where I paid my entry fee, that had fresh blood worms, fishing tackle, t-shirts, and anything else you needed to be great. The view was amazing and humbling. I think I started to get a little sea sick because the pier was rocking as the waves hit it The further I walked to the end of the pier, I said a little prayer that my knees/legs wouldn't give out on me or I wouldn't lose my breakfast, in front of all these people I will be back and enjoyed every moment!

Then we set out for bluefish and, within 30 minutes, we were consistently casting and hitting throughout the remainder of the trip. By the end of the trip, we caught one less than the limit.
