We had 4 adults in our group. We caught 5 Blue Fish and 1 Sting Ray on a 6 hour trip, which ended up being a little long for the ladies in the group. I would probably do the 4 hour trip the next time we do a fishing trip. I loved being out on the water. Captain Lance took us to quite a few spots. Our eldest daughter that doesn't fish was the one to catch the Sting Ray. It gave her a good fight. I would highly recommend Captain Lance if you want to do a fishing charter trip.

Chris was fantastic! 10/10 recommend In Debt Charters. This was our first time fishing in the OBX and we caught Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel. Chris told us how to cook them up and we had a fantastic dinner because of it. We'll definitely be booking with In Debt Charters again.
