Each year in the fall the fishing comes to a pinnacle in the southernmost Outer Banks at Cape Lookout. False albacore upwards of 15 pounds show up and blitz bay anchovies and silversides, all within 5-10 miles of the shoreline of the Crystal Coast.

Bring your 9 and 10-weight faster action rods with stiff fighting butts for these junior members of the tuna family. 20lb fluorocarbon leaders and tippet, and clear intermediate shooting heads for rapid-fire casting to busting fish.

We rent a house on the oceanfront. Each house sleeps 6-8 people, with regular amenities like cable, WiFi and internet, and breakfast in the mornings cooked by our hosts. You'll partake in 3 days of fishing for 6 hours each day, with a break midway through the day to sample waterfront dining options and fresh local fare.
