Mako Mike- who are your contacts for offshore charters in OBX. I'm looking to book a boat the last week in September.

Rudden,
Man you couldn't pick a better week to be in OBX as far as offshore fishing goes. That time of year is great for blue and white Marlin, wahoo and of course the tunas. Only setback could be weather, late September is prime time for hurricanes and tropical storms otherwise fishing usually is off the hook!
As far as contacts here they are:
Hatteras
Capt. John (Jersey)
Reliance sport fishing
252-996-0002
Oregon inlet
Capt. Greg
Fishing Frenzy
Yup from wicked tuna
252-216-9034
If you book a trip at Oregon inlet fishing center, walk the docks and talk directly to the captains and mates to book. May save you some money. Fishing center used to add a booking fee, not sure if they still do.
Good luck and enjoy your stay in OBX. Both of these captains are great guys with several years experience.
If in Hatteras village stop by Sonnys for breakfast or lunch. Leanne is one of the owners and is also Jerseys wife.

Thank you Mike! Yea we are excited to be there that time of year due to the variety of possibilities. I tried to book FIN AGAIN out of teach's but he will be out of town that week. Why are the rates cheaper out of hatteras vs oregon inlet? It's several hundred in difference.

They have to run further out of OI to get to "the promise land" so I'm sure it's to cover their fuel/time.

So far, nothing to compare to the great day we had on Friday in Chincoteague....As some of you know my oldest son bagged a 300+ pound Sand Tiger shark and we both pulled in several sharpnose sharks (which were delicious on the grill), and a number of spinner sharks...To go along with them we caught a ton of trout and kingfish(which were great to eat as well)...

Saturday we headed to Hatteras, and I have to say the fishing in the sound has not been as good as it was in Chincoteague, especially size wise...I have caught good numbers of trout, redfish, pinfish, croaker, kingfish, and here and there a flounder or puffer has shown up. The number of fish has been great, the size, not so much....

At it again today, will update in a couple of days...

Hope the fishing is still good at home...

Looks like I am going to disappoint...The spot here are scarce as well...Fishing has been good but still the size has been lacking....

Pretty much a fish every cast, certainly every other cast...

Do miss home, so while I have had a blast, looking forward to being home and hoping to get on some of those bluefish that people have started talking about.

Hope all are doing well.
