Hieronymus Fishing Charters
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
First time fishers
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

Fantastic Casual Fishing Outing
Captain Cord was absolutely phenomenal when myself and a few friends wanted to go out for a half-day trip to catch something we could take back and eat. All equipment was taken care of and the fish were filleted at the end of the outing. We also received some fantastic local recommendations that we later took up during our trip. Would recommend Captain Cord to any group looking to have a relaxed, fun time!

A Great Experience
Cord did a wonderful job welcoming my wife and me on board. He was Jonnie on the spot to resolve any problems and answer any questions throughout the trip. Was not a great day of fishing but Cord was persistent in his efforts. He cleaned all the fish that we kept and bid us farewell with genuine kindness. Overall it was a great experience!!

Great birthday trip!
Our trip started out slow for the first hour or so but Capt. Cord made sure to put us on some fish. By the end of the trip we had all 3 lines hooked up at the same time with a cooler full of mackerel. Cord was a great host and made sure we had a good time.

Phenomenal
Cord was absolutely phenomenal. From the very beginning to the very end. He called us the day before to go over the weather and plans. The boat was beautiful. He knew all the spots and had us on fish right away. We caught a total of 13 different species. Cord is so knowledgeable and spent about 45 minutes at the end filleting and bagging our catches for us. We can’t wait to book another trip with him!
