Victory Charters
Victory Charters
Victory Charters is operated by Captain Chuck Bishop (Coach). Coach Bishop has been a teacher and coach in the Wilmington area for over 30 years now. Coach is an avid outdoorsman: he tried his hand at fishing, hunting, and scuba diving, to name a few.
Nowadays, he has turned over his whistle for his second passion – fishing. Coach has been fishing and diving on wrecks and reefs off Wrightsville Beach for many years and has the experience needed to lead you to the fish.
You will be fishing on a 26' Maycraft center console powered by a 300 HP Yamaha outboard with a closed transom. The boat has plenty of room for family and friends to enjoy a great day of fishing. Coach welcomes all passengers including children. It can accommodate 4 passengers comfortably and up to 6 on near-shore trips.
The waters off Wrightsville Beach provide some of the best fishing on the North Carolina Coast. There are so many reefs and wrecks that attract a wide variety of fish. Trolling nearshore will produce the likes of Bluefish, Spanish and King Mackerel, and the occasional Cobia.
On offshore trips, you'll be going after King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Cobia, Barracuda, Sharks and more. Bottom fishing in these waters is usually for the likes of Flounder, Black Bass, Snapper, and Grouper.
Trips with Coach include your fishing license, rods and reels, bait, and all the gear needed to catch your desired fish. He will also clean and fillet all the fish you wish to take home with you. All you need to bring is some snacks, drinks, sunscreen, and a pair of polarized sunglasses. When you're all packed and good to go, get ready for a great time on the waters off Wrightsville Beach!

We had a great 6 hour nearshore charter with Captain Bishop! We were lucky enough to book with him last minute after another charter canceled, and it couldn’t have worked out better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable. We caught 24 Spanish mackerel and were also able to spend some time fishing for sharks, landing a hammerhead as well. He made sure we got to do everything we wanted, and we never felt rushed. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend Victory Charters!
awesome cachh of mackerel. drove over 1300 miles just to fish off the Carolina coast. Captain made sure we had a good time especially my boys. got to see two schools of dolphins and had absolutely a 😁 time will do it again with Victory Charters. P Allen B
We caught a modest number of fish, but it didn’t really matter. We watch the sun coming up over the Atlantic Ocean. My kids and grandkid were excited to be out on the water together. My captain was great. I have no problem recommending this trip to anyone. I hope we get to repeat it again.
Coach was incredible, even though the fish weren't biting today. Captain “coach” did everything to ensure we had a good time, kept trying, and caught a shark for some good entertainment — like my husband said, “that's why they call it fishing not catching”. Thanks Coach! We will be back!
The captain was super personable and contacted us upon confirmation of the trip to give us information about what to expect. We are newbies to fishing and he did a great job finding spots to troll and show us how to reel in our catch. Very memorable day for us and our two sons. Thanks Coach!

Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, United States
I have always enjoyed and excelled in various sports since I was a kid. I was also introduced to hunting and fishing by my grandfather at a very early age. Later, I moved to the coast where I enjoyed scuba diving and fishing. My neighbor was a commercial fisherman and charter captain and fishing with him on occasions influenced me to get my captain's license. Being a scuba diver also has given me a first-hand look at the structure and reefs I am fishing and the fish that inhabit these areas.
