Ambition fishing charters invites you to spend a day fishing in Southport, North Carolina and create many fine moments on the water. You will be in the safe hands of Captain William Goss who can take you both nearshore and offshore and help you have an enjoyable fishing experience you will wish to relive. Pick a day and have a memorable day fishing in gorgeous nature!

Your trip will start on a 26ft center console that runs on twin 150HP Yamaha engines. The boat has got enough space to sit 4 anglers, uses modern GPS and fishfinder technology for navigation, and is equipped with a livewell to supply you with live bait. You will also have an ice box so you can store fish and drinks.

You can go after Scamp and Gag Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Vermilion Snapper, Black Seabass, Mackerel, Blacktip Shark, and more. Using light tackle, you and the captain will chase them by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, as well as trolling. Kids are welcome to join your trip and you can keep all the fish you want.

Captain William covers you for all the tackle, lures, live bait, as well as fishing licenses. Before you go, just make sure you have your food and drinks packed.

Come visit Southport and have a great time fishing with Long Bay Fishing Company!

Awesome people, very friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I took an early October a.m. charter and we caught king mackerel, Spanish mackerel and a couple sharks (we tossed back). We had a great experience and felt like it was money well spent. He also cut up the portion we chose to keep right at the dock and bagged it for us so it was a very convenient transfer in the cooler back to the beach house. Fishing isn’t always a guarantee but these guys know what they’re doing and were wonderful at helping us make the most of our morning!
