NC Inshore Fishing Charters and Captain Mike Hoffman welcome you to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Capt. Mike specializes in backwater fishing but he’s always on top of the game whatever it may be by keeping a close track of where the fish is. From the shallow flats and bays to the lakes and rivers, NC Inshore Fishing Charters has what you need to make an amazing fishing trip!

You’ll fish from a 22ft Jones Brothers flats boat that can accommodate 6 guests. It runs on a 115 HP sazuki

engine and is equipped with excellent navigation technology, livewell, as well as a wireless trolling motor. There will also be an ice-box to store all your fish and drinks.

Some of the species you’ll encounter include Spotted Seatrout, Blacktip Shark, Bluefish, and Redfish. Using both light and heavy tackle, you’ll catch them by spinning, jigging, and drift fishing. You get to keep and take home all the fish you catch.

Captain Mike will have you covered for fishing licenses, all the fishing gear, live bait, and lures, and he’ll also clean your catch. Before you depart, you should just make sure you have some food and drinks packed.

Pay a visit to Wrightsville Beach and have a lovely fishing adventure with NC Inshore Fishing Charters!

3/4 Day Trip on April 17, 2025

Awesome day on the water catching fish. Captain Mike is a great guide. His knowledge of the local waterways is amazing. We all had an amazing time and caught enough fish to feed a small army. Can’t express how grateful we are for Mike and our day on the water catching fish.

We had a great time with Captain Mike, we didn’t catch many fish, but he has an expert knowledge of the area. The fish didn’t bite too well but he has expert knowledge on fish patters, cooking methods and more…. Use Captain Mike!!

Half Day Trip on August 15, 2024

We come to Willmington every couple of years for a family reunion. We always have a group that wants to go fishing while we are down here. This was are first time fishing with Captain Mike and it won’t be the last. We had a great time and caught plenty of fish. I would highly recommend him.
