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!

Awesome Day on the Water!
Had a fantastic time with captain Chuck Bishop! He was super friendly and knew exactly where to find the fish. The boat was clean, the gear was top-notch, and we caught plenty! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, stress-free fishing trip.

Great trip, great captain!
Coach took us for a 4 hour with two young kids. He was patience and helpful and made it an overall experience for the family. Looking forward to going out with him again!

We booked our trip the day before we wanted to go, and the captain still took us out for a good time! Great dude, good fishing advice, and even though it's been a slower season and it had just rained a ton, we still managed to catch some smaller Spanish mackerel.
