Get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime with Fin Reaper. Up to 75 miles out in the heart of the Atlantic, you’ll come up against some of the sea’s most prized creatures, using all your skills and strength to fill the boat. Marvel as you hit the Gulf Stream, bringing with it a perfect storm of pelagic action. While fishing the nearshore wrecks is just as exciting, as you target something delicious for dinner.

A latecomer to the fishing game, Captain Mike Moore has been making up for lost time fishing since 2011. Following his wife’s advice to find a hobby, he became a fishing nut in 2012, and now spends as much as possible on the water. He hopes to share his passion with you, taking you out on his boat to the productive deep seas.

The 45 SeaHunter center console is a thing of beauty. Up to 6 guests are welcome aboard to make yourselves at home on the spacious deck, taking advantage of the 360-degree views as you battle it out with monster fish. Capt. Mike will provide plenty of Gatorade and water, so you stay energized and refreshed all day long, but feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks too.

Start the day by going after live bait, which you’ll stock in the vast livewells on board. You’ll then whizz off to the fishing grounds at speeds reaching up to 60 MPH, getting you to the sweet spots in no time.

Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, Marlin, Tuna, and Sailfish will be your primary targets in the deep, while shorter trips will see you go after Seabass, Triggerfish, Porgies, Grunts, Groupers, and Snappers. Wherever you go, you’re in for a productive day, so make some space in the freezer for plenty of meat!

Capt. Mike will clean and fillet your catch at the end of your trip at a charge, meaning you can head home with the prospect of a delicious dinner on your plate right away! He’ll even pick you up within a 15-mile radius, so all you need to do is bring yourself aboard with plenty of enthusiasm, and settle in for an incredible day out with Fin Reaper.

Great trip
6 Hour Trip on June 28, 20233 adults
Captain Mike was great communicating with me. We had to cancel our original date due to weather and he did rearranged his schedule to get us out the next day. We caught 2 mahi which made it worth it. We wish we would have caught more, but that's fishing. The Fin Reaper is the real deal. The boat and gear were great. Captain Mike knows fishing and he was a great guy to chat with. I will definitely charter the Fin Reaper next I'm in Carolina Beach.

Thanks a lot for the review and going fishing with me and understanding it ain’t always catching most of all. I’d like to tell you how great it is to see a parent has raised two very respectful young men and I know success as in the future.

Such a great time!
6 Hour Trip on August 20, 20225 adults1 child
Captain Mike is the best. We had a great time. We didn't catch all the fish, but Mike did everything in his power to put us on them. The water wasn't ideal and no boats were catching anything based on what was coming over the radio. We did end up doing some bottom fishing so our boys could reel in some fish and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Can't wait to go back and do it again. The deck hand was great too, he was really attentive to the kids helping them bate their hooks and get the fish off for them!
