Awesome Sunday afternoon eco tour “to the Cape” and it’s always “a great day at Shack!”

10/03/2024

A great afternoon eco tour with these ladies, Carrot island and Shackleford banks horses, plenty of birds, seashells and much more! “Another great day at Shack!”

08/31/2024

Another double today with morning and afternoon trips … plenty of sand dollars, wild horses and other cool marine life which also makes for “Great day at Shack and to the Cape!” Two great groups, the morning duo wanted more fishing than touring and put a good whacking on the Spanish mackerel and bluefish, all casting catch and release. My afternoon group chose to go to Cape Lookout but, we made a quick stop for some catch a release flounder fishing with great success, our largest release was just shy of 4 #.

Great eco tour today with these two, another great day at “Shack” and “to the Cape!” Plenty of wild horses, best sign of Spanish mackerel and bluefish since tropical storm Debbie, the tide was high, which allowed us to visit several “off the beaten path spots” and see plenty of stuff you won’t see on a typical tour. “See it, like a local! When you go with us…

08/18/2024

Another great family group today and another Great day at “Shack” … wild horses on Carrot island (pictured here) and Shackleford banks, we found plenty of sand dollars, great shells and explored all kinds of living sea creatures.

08/05/2024

We had the place to ourselves, which always makes for “another great day at Shack!” Great family from MD this morning … we saw wild horses, walked to the ocean side, found sea shells, saw a loggerhead sea turtle, caught Spanish mackerel and had fun exploring the grass flats.

08/04/2024

Another great day at “Shack” … we waited out the rain to depart and had a little wind … we still had a great afternoon at Shackleford Banks today with very few other people around. Saw wild horses, found some shells, non living sand dollars and explored all kinds of cool marine life.

07/31/2024

Several great groups the past few days, we made it “to the Cape” (Cape Lookout) on one trip, the others were “an another great day at Shack!” (Shackleford Banks) Plenty of great photo opportunities for horses, dolphins, sea turtles, some great living shell life (all released) and lots of non living shells and sand dollars. We fished some too, catching a few sharks, redfish, trout, bluefish and more. If you want to “see it, like a local!” Let me know, we’ll get you out there.

07/27/2024

Today was a great 6 hour eco tour “to the Cape!” we departed right as the rain stopped and it quickly turned into a beautiful afternoon. Plenty wild horses both Carrot island and Shackleford, casting netting for bait was epic (fishing not so much), nice walk across to the ocean from the light house, we rode back down Shackleford oceanside and we finished up with large pod of dolphins in Bogue sound, that were fairly photogenic. “Another great day at Shack!”

07/15/2024

“Another great day at Shack!” Awesome crew from West Virginia today … plenty of wild horses, sand dollars, a loggerhead sea turtle (briefly), a quick glimpse of Cape Lookout and a few minutes of fishing. Seeing it, like a local!

07/10/2024

Another great day at “Shack” (twice) Two thumbs up from my morning group and all smiles from my second group … even with the cloudy and windy conditions today we had a great time on both trips. We saw Carrot island and Shackleford banks wild horses, plenty of great birds, found some nice sea shells and had some really good casting action for Spanish mackerel.

07/04/2024

“Another great day at Shack!” We set up for July 4th this morning east of Wade shore and the crowd engulfed us… everyone around us was great! Beautiful weather, great food and awesome people always make for a good time…

07/03/2024

Another great day at “Shack!” Today we had first time Shackleford banks goers, after catching Spanish mackerel and seeing the wild horses they decided to find a few sand dollars and explore all the other cool finds such as whelks, hermit crabs, bay scallops, sea fans and much more. Afterwards we made a quick stop with the cast net to catch live bait and successfully shark fished the last part of the trip.

06/24/2024

Yesterday was another great day at Shackleford banks and Carrot island… blue skies and clear water helped us find plenty of sand dollars (we kept 3 really nice non-living, which were fully intact) also found sea urchins, clams and much more. The wild horses were out grazing Shackleford banks, Carrot island plus several pods of dolphins not to mention plenty of shore birds… there’s nothing better than a great day on the water.

06/22/2024

Another beautiful day to “See it like a local!” Picked up at the Bask Hotel went to “Shack” where we saw multiple groups of wild horses, after a few photos we made our way “to the Cape” visited the lighthouse and walked across to the ocean side to the eastern beach just north of Cape point. Finished up with a stop at bird shoal for swimming, beaching and drinks with the locals. The highlight of our finds today was a giant horse conch (they are actually in the Tulip snail family, which isn’t a conch or whelk) we released this big guy promptly after a couple pictures.our

Weather wasn’t great (clouds and wind) but, we managed to get in a great 4 hour trip to the Cape! Really cool to have the entire point at Bardens inlet all to ourselves and we beat the storms by cutting back from the scheduled 6 hour to a 4 hour trip.
