Southern Run Fishing Charters
Southern Run Fishing Charters
Have a fun and memorable experience with a great crew aboard Southern Run Fishing Charters! You won't know where to head first when it comes to fishing in Willmington, but Captain Ben Morris specializes in epic offshore adventures. He'll do his best to put anglers of all skill levels on the big fish!
Your vessel for the day is a 32' Yellowfin center console that can fit up to 6, but for comfort reasons the ideal is 4 customers. She's a dry, fast and very comfortable boat with great seating and plenty of room to relax during a long day of fishing. Equipped with 2 300 HP Yamaha engines, this smooth ride will get you to the fish fast, increasing your fishing time and productivity.
Light line trolling is a recipe for success when it comes to hooking nearshore species like Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and Bonita. On longer offshore trips you'll also have your shot at Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi and the occasional Blue or White Marlin. In this range, bottom fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and delicious Seabass is super productive too! No bottom fishing for groups larger than 4.
All of your gear, including top-notch rods, reels, and tackle are waiting on board when you arrive. Capt. Ben is also happy to clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip for easy transport home. What you will want to bring are any drinks and snacks you'd like to enjoy, as well as sun protection.
Hop on board for some of North Carolina's finest fishing with Southern Run Fishing Charters!

Our target species was Grouper! Captain Ben and his First mate Brody were very informative and helpful. I've fished all my life and caught some really big fish yet this is really a whole new level. My boys and I just had a blast and it took a while to sink in but we learned technique from both of them.We caught some really good size grouper, sea bass and other species of keepers. We also caught many fish we weren't allowed to keep due to regulations. I caught a couple giant red snapper. due to what I feel is flawed Federal Regulation, I was not allowed to keep them. they put up a good fight and were fun to catch. All in all this was an amazing fishing trip of learning, catching and having a blast. totally recommend the 12-hour trip
We had an outstanding half day of fishing with Captain Ben, easily a 5-star trip from start to finish. He was great with my three teenage kids who don’t have a ton of fishing experience. He took the time to show them the ropes, explain things when needed and laughed along with us the whole trip. There was no time wasted on the dock. As soon as he was back in, we hopped aboard and took off. Started the day trolling, but no luck. Captain Ben quickly changed things up and had us on some great bottom fishing, which really got the kids excited and into the action. Later we went back to trolling and pulled in quite a few bonitas before the day ended. Back on the dock he cleaned/fileted/bagged our catch for us. You can tell Captain Ben really enjoys his job. I highly recommend and the best compliment I can give is; on the 30 minute drive to the dock, the kids were mostly playing Clash Royale on their phones. On the 30 minute drive home, they were trying to plan the next fishing trip. btw….extremely nice boat. I was a little jealous.
I booked a trip for my son’s 13th birthday. Early March can be challenging, but Ben did not disappoint. He got us on fish fast, and kept us on them. It was exactly the experience I wanted for my so ‘s first charter experience. Will book with Ben again!
My son and I went out for 1/2 day fishing trip with Captain Ben. It was a great time! Captain Ben knew exactly where to go to catch fish! Highly recommend booking and will book again in the future.
This was a great trip on a very nice boat where we got to do several different types of fishing, including kite fishing Great learning experience with a great teacher
