Welcome to Flat Out Flying fishing charters where fun, adventure, learning and excitement are the goals. These are all elements to create great memories that will last forever. To help you achieve these goals Captain Travis Dant will cater the trip to your interests. Whether it is inshore fishing for target species, near shore chumming for a mixed bag, or just a relaxing day on the water, let Captain Travis' experience guide you to a successful day.

If hearing a reel sing as line flies off the spool is your type of therapy then you have come to the right place. Light tackle spin fishing, bait casting, slow trolling, fly fishing, artificial, live bait, cut bait; Captain Travis has the equipment, tackle and knowledge to do it all.

Flat Out Flying uses top notch gear including Shimano rods and reels; Sage and Orvis fly outfits, Penn trolling reels, Berkley, Yo-zuri, Strike King and more. The boat isn't so bad either: a 24' Triton LTS powered by a 250 Hp Suzuki four stroke. Solid as Fort Knox and stable as the ground we walk on, the LTS is dry, fast, and quiet. With plenty of deck space to dance on, moving about the boat is effortless. Floating in a foot of water, shallow water fishing is where this boat likes to be; but take one look at the hull and you will know it is no stranger to the open ocean.

If fishing is not your "cup of tea", but a day on the water is, then let Flat Out Flying cruise you, your friends and family on the beautiful waters of Eastern North Carolina. With miles of protected waters sea (motion) sickness is not an issue. The Intracoastal Waterway is a deepwater channel that is behind barrier islands that make up the well-known Outer Banks of North Carolina. These calm waters are a sanctuary for many animals including hundreds of different species of birds and waterfowl. From the ornate Great Blue Herron to the powerful, keen eyed Osprey, seeing these animals in their natural environment does more for the spirit and soul than any day at the spa.
