Hieronymus Fishing Charters welcomes you for an enjoyable day of fishing in Wilmington, NC. Come explore its bountiful nearshore and offshore grounds and have fun catching fish together with Captain Cord Hieronymus. The captain is a local angler from Wrightsville Beach who'll do his best to put you on the fish and help you enjoy your stay on board. He'll meet you at his boat slip in Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach to take you on your next sea adventure. With Captain Cord, free parking at his marina is provided with a parking pass so you will not have to download an app to pay an unexpected 25$ to $55 for Wrightsville Beach parking. Pick your day and have a great time fishing!

Your boat for the day will be a 25' C-Hawk center console. The vessel is wheelchair-accessible and can sit up to 4 guests. She's powered by a 250 HP Yamaha four stroke engine and uses Garmin GPS technology and a Furuno fishfinder, as well as a VHF radio. There is a food and drink cooler iced up for your convenience. The fishing gear includes rods, reels downriggers, and a livewell. To store your fish, there's even an ice-box you can use.

Depending on trip length and targeted species, you will be using light and/or heavy tackle, trolling, and/or bottom fishing for Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Grouper (in season), Seabass, and many other species that could possibly be hooked. You're free to choose if you'll keep your catch or release it back to the water.

Your trip includes all the fishing tackle, bait, and lures that you'll need. Capt. Cord will also take care of fishing licenses. There's nothing you'll need to bring except for some lunch or snacks.

Come visit Hieronymus Fishing Charters and create lovely memories on the water!

Half Day Trip on June 28, 20253 adults1 child

This was an amazing experience for our foaming of four. Upon our arrival we were met with a parking pass and great customer service. The kids 9,15 loved the boat ride and my 9 yo loved the ease of fishing and the personality of the captain to the point he asked to go again with the same crew. We saw dolphins, a sea turtle and caught a about 3-4 fishes a piece. What i enjoyed was the capt explained the different type of fishes , pointing out why they got their name. Overall amazing trip and we will be doing it again. Must Try

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel

Capt. Cord knows the waters, the fish, and his boat. Fish on 5 min into dropping lines and constistant the entire trip. I took my son (15) and his two friends (big expectations) and Capt. Cord delivered. We have fish for weeks and memories for life. Thanks angain Captain, see you again soon.

Great captain, clean convenient boat
Half Day Trip on August 13, 20252 adults

Cord managed every detail of the trip perfectly and was fun to get to know throughout the day. Was able to turn a slow day all around into a cooler full of dinner. Boat is setup perfect for these waters and is a breeze to get to. Will book again next time I’m back and recommend you do the same
