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!

Half Day Trip
Captain Mike got us on some fish! I booked thia charter with my buddy and his son (my Godson). Boat was very clean and ran well. Plenty of room for us. Good rods and plenty of live bait. The Captain was super knowledgable and new all the good spots. We caught a ton of re drum and kept our limit. Caught some monster flounder as well but they were not in season. Also caught some black drum. We kept the red drum and Captain Mike cleaned them for us. We cooked them that night and it was delicious. Highly recommend this charter.

Half Day Trip
We were looking for a nice day on the water, without rough waters, but still wanted to catch some clean and delicious fish. This was the perfect trip - the captain knew where to go and we got 3 days worth of dinner of red fish. The mornings are the best - we went out a little before 7 am, also to beat the heat. If you want a nice, no stress, calm fishing trip, this is it!

Captain Mike was great! The family and I had a blast with him leading the fishing trip for my birthday. He help me catch my biggest fish ever, which made my birthday one of the best days ever. I appreciate the hospitality and making us feel like his boat was our boat. Thank you Captain Mike!

This was our first time in Wilmington and fishing in NC. Captain Mike is super knowledgeable of the area and put us right on the fish. We enjoyed moving to different places and just getting to enjoy the time on the water in general. Highly recommend for a great morning trip!
