Ernie Foster (right), son of the late Ernal Foster, has been a charter boat captain since the mid-1960s. Ernie’s father started The Albatross Fleet, which consisted of three charter fishing boats which he had built between 1937 and 1953 which are still in use today. Ernie is one of the few remaining native Outer Banks captains on Hatteras Island, NC where he continues his father’s legacy with his wife Lynne Foster (left).
The Outer Banks is known as "The Billfish Capital of the World," and for good reason. Hundreds of blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish are caught and released in our waters every year. The billfish season is long, with the peak for blue marlin in June and white marlin and sailfish most plentiful in August and September. All are caught consistently from late spring to early fall. In order to preserve the species, most billfish are tagged and released so they can continue to reproduce. Another big draw are yellowfin tuna which are caught year-round here on The Outer Banks.
