Welcome to the Outrigger

Hello and welcome aboard the Outrigger.  Sit back and relax to a day of Outer Banks offshore fishing with Captain Aaron Wright and first mate on the Outrigger.

I have spent my whole life living and working on the beautiful Outer Banks of North Carolina.  I started fishing as soon as I could hold a fishing rod and have been hooked ever since.  Having two parents and an uncle who love to fish contributed a great deal to my fishing profession today, I guess you could say it’s in my blood.

My real professional career started when I was about 16, when I got my first job as a mate.  From there the next 10 years of working the boats got me to where I am today.  I was lucky enough to find a job with Captain Marty Brill on the Sea Breeze.  After a period of time I bought the boat and changed the name to the Outrigger.  I’ve been fishing for over 23 years professionally and I’m still looking forward to the future and many more fun fishing trips, so come on down and enjoy a day with us aboard the Outrigger.  Remember you can’t catch them on land.

The Outrigger was built in 1993 by Bob Sullivan in Point Harbor, North Carolina.  She is a 51 foot custom Carolina Spotfisher powered by twin 500 hp engines.  With a cruising speed of 25 knots, she is a very comfortable fishing machine. The Outrigger is outfitted with all of your angler’s needs; A/C & heated cabin, TV/VCR, stereo/CD, microwave, generator and full navigation/communications/fish finder package.  The Outrigger is also equipped with a tuna “greenstick” and has a range of kites to fish for tuna in the summer months.  We also carry lighter tackle for dolphin and marlin fishing.  All of the tackle is Shimano.
