Outer Banks Fishing

For anglers of any skill level or anyone interested in spending time on the water, Fish Ocracoke takes them to the destination of their choice with maximum efficiency in regards to their time and budget. Captain Rob custom designs offshore and inshore fishing charters, boat tours and sunset cruises aboard the Fish Ocracoke boat, Free Ranger, to fit whatever fishing or nautical experience you have in mind. This 46’ custom-built Buddy Canady sportfisher comfortably accommodates groups of up to six passengers. The boat is equipped with an air-conditioned salon, a full bathroom and all the latest fishing equipment. Based out of Ocracoke Island, their runs to the Gulf Stream take only about an hour, so full-day trips get the most out of their time trying to snag sportfish. For passengers who don’t want to commit to the full-day excursion, half-day charters give them an authentic taste of the activity in just four hours. These charters are family-friendly.

For a great, affordable day on the water for up to six anglers of any experience, including families with kids, a trip on the Gecko with Captain Ernie Doshier is a top choice on Ocracoke Island. The 46-foot Carolina sportfisher offers a swift trip to the Gulf Stream for all-day adventures that include not only catching fish like tuna, mahi mahi and billfish, but also viewing the wonders of the Gulf Stream, such as flying fish, birds, dolphins and possibly even whales. If you prefer something other than a full-day trip, half-day and custom trips are also available. Captain Ernie Doshier is an Outer Banks native and former Coast Guardsman with more than 30 years of experience on the water, so you know you’ll be in good hands. He and the mate provide everything you need for a great day on the water, including bait, tackle, fishing licenses and instruction, if needed. All you need to bring is your own snacks and drinks and get ready for the time of your life.
