Reel Obsession Fishing Charters
Treat yourself with a great day of fishing and visit some of the best fishing grounds in North Carolina. Based in Swansboro, NC, Reel Obsession Fishing Charters and Captain Ryan Dolph invite you to join them on inshore and nearshore trips and enjoy yourself on the water.
You'll fish on a restored 22' Blackjack flats boat powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine, with the maximum speed of 55 knots. Up to 6 persons can be on board. The boat features GPS and fishfinder systems, a wireless trolling motor, and a livewell.
Using light tackle, you and Captain Ryan will target Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Redfish, and some other species. You'll be bottom fishing, jigging, and popping. You can keep all the fish you catch and the captain will clean and fillet it for you free of charge. Or, if you prefer, you can return the fish to the sea. Kids are welcome on these trips, so bring them along as well and have a great time with your family.
The charters will provide you with all the fishing gear, meaning rods, reels, terminal tackle, live bait, and lures. You're also covered with fishing licenses, so there's nothing you'll need apart from some snacks and drinks perhaps.
Don't hesitate and book a trip at Reel Obsession Fishing Charters, and embark on North Carolina's finest sea adventures.

Ryan worked so hard to get us onto fish! He was great with our children and answered their million questions. We couldn’t have asked for anything to be better other than catching… but that’s why we call it fishing and not catching! Thank you Reel Obsession Fishing Charters! We hope to fish with you again!
Thank you so much, Joshua! I truly appreciate the kind words. I had a great time with you and your family, and those million questions from the kids made the day even more fun! Sometimes the fish just don’t cooperate, but I’m glad you still had a great day on the water. I’d love to have y’all back anytime—hopefully next time we’ll turn that fishing into catching! 🎣
The trip was in August when ii was really hot. Ryan was able to find the fish in the right spot. We got cooled off by a rather large rain downpour for several minutes. It was cooling and refreshing but we got soaked. We got our limit of red fish. Anticipating some good eating later.
thanks for booking Mr.Jim enjoy yalls stay.
went with the expectation of catching a couple meals worth of fish, some shrimp, and something “picture worthy”…got about 2 lbs of shrimp in cast netting, some nice sized mullet that fried up really well, and I caught a 22” redfish and son caught a 20” redfish
Thank you so much, Jason! I’m glad we were able to hit all the goals for your trip and put some good fish and shrimp in the cooler. It was a pleasure having you and your son aboard. Hope to fish with y’all again soon! 🎣
Dolph had us in hundreds of redfish. We asked to use only artificial bait and that’s what we did and we caught plenty of red fish!  great experience and I highly recommend this Captain. 
thanks for booking had a blast fishing with yall.
captain Ryan put us on the redfish, 3 of us caught 3 slot fish and a couple hours later were eating fried drum sammiches and nuggets! had a great time cant wait to go back!
Thanks so much, Derrick! Glad I could put y’all on the redfish and that you had a great time. Those fried drum sandwiches sound pretty good! Hope to have y’all back out again soon! — Captain Ryan

Your captain
Captain Ryan Dolph was born and raised near the sea and has always loved the coastal life. Fishing was his first love. He started fishing as soon as he was able to walk and hold a pole and has owned his own boat since he was 12 years old. For him, living near the water is heaven on earth. He knows the local and surrounding waters better than the highways. Fishing and being on the water is his way of clearing his mind and relieving stress. His firm belief is, it's not work when you love what you do. Let him show you a little piece of his, Heaven on earth.
