Absolut Fishing Charters is located in Manteo, North Carolina and offers to take you on a trip full of fun and excitement. Captain Jed is an Outer Banks native and a seasoned professional mariner. Join him aboard the Absolut for some backcountry fishing. He will use all his experience and skills to make your day the best possible!

Your adventure starts on a 22’ Swan Point center console that can safely take up to 4 anglers. The boat runs on a 200 HP Suzuki engine and uses GPS and fishfinder navigation electronics. It also comes with a wireless trolling motor and livewell to give you the edge over all the fish you'll be targeting.

We will be targeting Speckled Trout, Bluefish, Flounder, Redfish, and Cobia, depending on the season and conditions.

The captain provides all other rods, reels, and tackle, as well as live bait and lures. He'll even supply you with drinks and cover everyone on board for fishing licenses. Don't forget a cooler to take your catch home.

This is a great family adventure!

BIG FISH

Half Day Inshore Charter (PM) on September 19, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain Spencer is the man!! I was on a mission for my first red drum and within ten minutes of line in the water, we were hooked up with a “citation” fish!!! Didn’t know what that meant until it got close. Another awesome thing which might or might not have been his plan all along was we never caught the same species which was so cool to catch so many different species and the fights they put up. I will be back for sure!!!!

Half Day Inshore Charter (mid) on June 18, 2025 • 2 adults

My Wife and and I had an absolute ball today fishing for Red Drum. Most of the time you hear to small to keep, but in our case to big to keep. We enjoyed the fight of these big drum and a couple Blue fish along with great conversation and some great food recommendations. Highly recommend for great fishing, great convo and just an amazing experience! 5 stars!

Fishing with Jed

Half Day Inshore Charter (PM) on August 17, 2025 • 3 adults

It was a slow day for fishing, but not for lack of trying on Jed’s part. He took us to half a dozen locations and we fished different ways and ended up catching a trout at the end. It was a good trip, really friendly guide with excellent knowledge of the area.

Captain Spencer was wonderful. He was very kind and took us to several different spots to try and catch a fish. We had a lot of pickers. I would really recommend this to anyone and if we ever come back to this area I will request the same guide.
