Wonderful weather and great support from Captain Bobby Smith and the First Mate made for a lovely trip on our annual vacation to OBX for our family. Our goal was to catch enough for our dinner, and there were plenty of Spanish mackerels and Bluefish caught, and so that goal was met, with all fish cleaned by our son-in-law and then the remainder vacuum sealed and frozen for the trip home. Even our experienced fisherman (son-in-law) was pleased. And the kids (two 10-year-olds) had a great time “working” the rods to bring in fish. Saw a huge shark that came alongside the boat for a brief instant! Boat was clean, well maintained—very important! Easy booking online, and final payment at the marina. Recommend highly, especially for kids.

There were 6 of us (ages 47, 21, 17, and 18) and we all caught about 20 Ribbonfish and about 8 Spanish Mackerel in about 3 hours. They put us on a bunch of fish. The captain and mate were awesome and we’ll forgive the mate for being a Carolina Hurricanes fan, go Sabres! The Oregon Inlet Staff was able to recommend a place (Sugar Shack) to get our fish cooked before taking it back to our rental and it was great. All around great experience and would recommend Fish-N-Fool. We’ll definitely book again next year.

We had a great time on the water with these guys and it was an awesome way to celebrate these young men graduating high school. 10 out of 10 recommend. We threw back a lot because we didn’t want to freeze any. This is probably only half our catch. So much fun! So grateful to Captain Bobby and First Mate Russell. Y’all really made the trip memorable and fun.

Captain Bobby and Russell were excellent! Great experience! Caught 10 fish on our trip and fed a family of 19 with left overs!! We had a blast learning and chatting with First Mate Russell in between catches. Cleanest boat I have ever seen. Would definitely recommend and we will be contacting the same crew when we come back in two years to do it again!
