Tail Chaser Charter Fishing
Tail Chaser Charter Fishing
Whether you want a nearshore expedition or an offshore extravaganza on the waters of North Carolina, Tail Chaser Charter Fishing has a trip for you. With Captain Brandon Phillips at the helm, you're in store for a catch you'll be proud of.
The 'Tail Chaser' is a 38' Luhrs, powered by twin Cummins 450 HP Diesel engines that push her along at a comfortable 22 knots. The boat has all of the latest navigational and fish finding electronics, to make sure you'll be on top of the fish. She also sports bunks and a restroom in the lower cabin. All safety gear, including life jackets are also on the boat, so you'll be traveling safely and in style.
Penn, Shimano, and custom built rods and reels are at your disposal, and when it comes to the tackle, Capt. Brandon prefers to make his own, it's proved to be more efficient. So what do you get to target and reel in this top-notch fishing equipment?
When it comes to offshore trips, all the A-listers of the area are game, so King and Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin and Albacore Tuna, Barracuda, and even Sailfish could easily find their way to your line. If you prefer nearshore angling, then you'll be on the lookout for Black Seabass, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and Amberjack. You're a fan of bottom fishing? You have the chance to see how many Snapper and Grouper you can hook on specialized trips.
You can be a seasoned seawolf or just wanting to snag your first fish, Capt. Brandon will welcome you aboard and do everything in his power for you to have an excellent trip. Children can also join and fish, though it's recommended for the little ones to join you on shorter trips, to have fun and not get bored. After you're back on land, you will get your catch cleaned and filleted, so that you can serve the fruits of your hard work for your family the same day.

Had an excellent 4-hour nearshore fishing charter and highly recommend it. We caught Spanish mackerel and had a great time on the water. The boat and all the equipment were in top condition—clean, well-maintained, and ready to go. Captain Brandon and Mate Austin were both knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip enjoyable. They clearly know their stuff and kept things fun and relaxed. Great experience overall!
The captain and first mate were friendly and helpful with me and my family. We caught several meals worth of spanish and king mackerel and blues. This wont be our last trip. We definitely recommend this boat and crew!
We caught several Spanish Mackerel. We rescheduled due to the weather. Was a bit choppy out, a few of us fed the fish lol. Captain and first mate were good people, informative and accommodating.
Capt and mate were very professional and made our trip outstanding. My grandkids had a great time and caught a lot of fish. Rates were very reasonable. Highly recommend.
Thanks Tom. We look forward to seeing you again.
