How It Works

Question in, video out, fish on.

01

Grab a Pass

Match the pass to your trip — a day, the week you’re down, or the whole year. Stripe handles checkout in seconds and nothing auto-renews.

02

Text Us From the Beach

Standing at Oregon Inlet wondering what that bait ball is? Send the question and a photo. Bait, tides, sloughs, rigs — nothing is too dumb to ask.

03

Get a Video Back

An OBX captain who fishes that exact water records you a video answer — watch it in the truck, rig up, and go catch.

Who's Answering

Captains who make their living on OBX water — the same guys you'd buy a $700 charter from.

Captain Mike Davidson

Surf & Inlet Fishing

Hatteras Island

Three decades walking the Point at Hatteras. If it’s a red drum over the bar or a bluefish blitz on the south beach, Mike already saw it this morning.

SJ

Captain Sarah Jennings

Offshore & Nearshore

Oregon Inlet

USCG-licensed and running out of Oregon Inlet. Ask her where the yellowfin are holding or how to set a ballyhoo spread — the answer comes with coordinates.

Captain Tom Reyes

Pier & Bottom Fishing

Nags Head

Grew up on the planks at Avalon and Jennette’s. Pompano in July, sheepshead at the bridge pilings, spot in the fall — Tom knows which rail is hot today.

Questions We Get

How fast does an answer come?

In season, usually two to four hours. Week Pass members sit at the front of the line, and anything sent overnight gets answered before the first tide.

What can I actually ask about?

Anything Banks-related: what’s biting off Avon right now, which rig for the slough at Ramp 38, how to read a Hatteras tide, what color jig for sound-side trout — send photos of the water or your catch and the answer gets specific.

Who’s answering — is this real people?

Yes. Charter captains, pier regulars, and tournament guys who fish Hatteras to Corolla every week of the year. Vetted, local, and on the water more than they’re on the phone.

What happens when my pass runs out?

Day and Week passes are one-time payments that simply expire — nothing to cancel. Annual members can turn off renewal any time through the Stripe customer portal.

Do I have to already be on the Outer Banks?

No — half the questions come in the week before a trip, from the couch in Raleigh or Charlotte. Planning from afar is where it saves the most money on wasted bait and dead spots.

Fish Like You Live Here

One question about this morning's tide can save a whole vacation of casting at dead water.
