We were down in Nags Head celebrating my upcoming birthday with the kids, and I was eager to make it a memorable trip. So, I decided to book a 4-hour fishing adventure with Poacher Sports Fishing, and let me tell you, I'm so glad I did! Despite a little seasickness hiccup with my little guy, he bounced back and had an absolute blast! We reeled in some false mackerel, sea bass, and a boatload of albacore tuna. Can you believe we ended up with 60 tuna steaks, 20 sea bass fillets, and 4 false mackerel fillets? It was an awesome haul! Captain Devin and first mate Spens were absolutely incredible, making the whole experience even better. Looking forward to doing this again in the future!

Being a retired Captain, I couldn't have picked a better option than Captain Devin and his boat, Poacher, for an enjoyable outing during our vacation in the area. The boat impressed me, and Captain Devin efficiently guided us to the fish, giving my grandkids an unforgettable experience that's got them hooked on fishing. Without a doubt, he'll be our go-to boat in the future.
