Ali-Kat Sportfishing is your premier sportfishing charter on the Crystal Coast. Ran by the only IGFA Certified Saltwater Captain in this area, Capt. Jason Temple is ready to take you fishing. Based out of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, Captain Jason Temple and the Ali-Kat Sportfishing fleet offer four boats, giving you options to make you and your crew's trip a success.

Ali Kat Sportfishing specializes in inshore, nearshore, and offshore trips and can put your group on the fish. From Speckled Trout, Red Drum, and Flounder to Spanish and King Mackerel, the crew will go above and beyond to target what you wish. If you want more action, venture out to the deep blue for Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna, as well as the bottom fishing buffet the coast has to offer: Seabass, Trigger, Grouper, and Snapper, just to name a few.

With over 30 years of experience and a USCG 100 Ton Master Captain's License, Captain Jason Temple will put your group on the fish. He can accommodate 2 - 6 people on his 30' Twin Vee PowerCat. The boat is powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines, rigged extensively with navigation electronics, and equipped with various gear to make your chase more efficient and fun.

For your trip, you should only bring the snacks and drinks of your choice, as the captain will take care of all the fishing equipment and licenses. While vacationing in Emerald Isle, there are two inlets available: Bogue Inlet and Beaufort Inlet in Morehead City. Capt. Jason Temple generally prefers Beaufort Inlet due to its stability and calmness. Beaufort Inlet also offers shorter runs to the fishing grounds and tends to produce better fishing.

Ali Kat Sportfishing is dedicated to providing your group with a memorable trip, contact the captain today, and he will customize a trip for you. Not finding the trip you want on this boat? Message Captain Jason Temple or search the other boats in the Ali-Kat fleet: Ali-Kat Sportfishing Too, Miss Lynn and Ali-Kat Inshore.

Best trip ever! Catching a 10-11 foot Hammerhead
Vacation Special: 6 Hour Trip on June 29, 20264 adults1 child

This was my secind fishing trip with Ali - Kat, and both trips were better then expected. The first trip we caught a lot of fish and then this second trip we caught the sharks we wanted to and then also a larger then expected hammerhead shark that made this trip and vacation. The knowledge, experience, and friendliness if the captain and first mate was amazing! Thank you Randy amd Zach. With the experience and memories that Ali-Kat has provided me and my boys with, you cannot put a price on that. so if you are planning on a fishing trip, I would definitely recommend Ali-Kat for the trip!

Great first ocean fishing experience!
Half Day Trip – Inshore on June 16, 20262 adults3 children

Captain Randy gave our 9 and 8 year an awesome experience. What started slow, after a quick tip to go just 2 mi offshore, turned into a phenomenal experience! Kids loved the fast boat roller coaster and then we got on Spanish mackerel with fish on non-stop. Capped off with a quick jaunt to Shackleford island on trip home! Oh and don't forget the arm workout with a 50lb shark! Excellent experience for first time kid fisherman and anglers looking for good eating fish. Would say once in a lifetime experience, but we look forward to making this a recurring beach trip activity and hoping they will all go this well!!

The best time!
Half Day Trip – Shark on July 6, 20263 adults2 children

Our family of four, inclusing two boys 12 and 9, had the best experience! We did the half day shark charter, and would highly recommend this trip to others! We would love to do this again ourselves! Captain Randy and Adam were super knowledgeable, helpful, and truly cared about making this experience a positive and memorable one! We would absolutely recommend them! Our boys had a blast and haven’t stopped talking about the trip!

Best trip ever!
Half Day Trip – Inshore on June 30, 20264 adults2 children

Captain Randy and first mate Adam were great! By the end of the trip our kids were calling him Uncle Randy. We caught 30+ Spanish Mackeral and a handful of lizard fish. We then went out into deeper water and caught four sharks- one sand shark and three hammerhead! Our kids (10,9,8) were so excited to reel in the fish and sharks and then pulls them into the boat! Thanks for the memories!!
