Please note: We leave from Carova, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is necessary to reach the boat’s location, also we do not provide fish cleaning. You will need to be prepared to handle them if you plan to keep.

Test your lines in the brackish waters of North Carolina’s Outer Banks with Split Shot Sound Charters! Captain Brian is ready to take you out and show you what it means to have a successful and fun-filled fishing trip.

Brian is a local and has been fishing in the area for 20 years, so he’s an expert in getting you on the fish quickly. Catch a giant Catfish and set your new personal record, or go after one of the most popular targets in sportfishing – Largemouth Bass.

On both half day and full day trips, you will get the chance to come face-to-gills with White Perch. They are quite delicious and always fun to catch, especially on light tackle.

All these fishing adventures will be happening on a brand new 24’ Carolina Skiff that is prepped and ready for some serious angling. With a 2017 Mercury four stroke engine that has 115 HP, she is perfectly suited to carry 4 anglers through the waters of the Carova Beach area.

Capt. Brian always puts his anglers first, which means all the fishing gear you might need is provided. This includes all rods and reels, live bait, coolers, and fishing licenses. All you should bring are some snacks and water.

Split Shot Sound Charters is family-oriented and kid-friendly. There’s nothing Brian loves more than seeing families having a wonderful time fishing aboard his boat. Teaching youngsters how to catch their first fish is always a uniquely beautiful experience.

Fishing on a new boat with a friendly captain, who knows where all the best fish hide, will make this your best vacation yet.

There’s no better time than now – pick a date and book an unforgettable trip with Split Shot Sound Charters!
