Fowl Hooked Sportfishing offers sport fishing charters and licensed waterfowl hunting guide services on the Outer Banks and Northeastern North Carolina, led by Captain Troy Boyd, a USCG licensed captain who grew up fishing these waters. Trips run aboard the Fowl Hooked, a 35-foot custom Carolina boat built by legendary boatbuilder Sheldon Midgett, featuring an open cabin and deck, the latest electronics, and a Cummins diesel engine, operating out of the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center.
Sport fishing season runs May through October, targeting Cobia, Amberjack, Red Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Sea Mullets, and Croakers, among other Outer Banks favorites. When fishing season winds down, Captain Troy shifts to waterfowl hunting (October through March), guiding for Ducks (Mallard, Green Wing Teal, Pintail, Bufflehead, Redhead, Black Duck, Blue Bill), Sea Ducks (White Wing, Surf, and Common Scoter), permitted Swan hunts (apply by October 1st), and Snow Goose (season varies), ranging from Currituck to Hyde County. Hunts are offered from a simple boat layout, scissor rigs, or stationary blinds, all set over a large spread of decoys.
For anglers and hunters on the Outer Banks looking for a genuinely dual-season fishing and waterfowl guide, Fowl Hooked Sportfishing offers a well-rounded, deeply local operation with Captain Troy Boyd.
