Drum Roll Charters welcomes you to North Carolina’s Crystal Coast! We are excited to offer you many different fishing trips and aquatic adventures to show you all our beautiful waters have to provide! Inshore, nearshore, or offshore, Captain Travis loves to do it all!

You will use a 23’ Contender that can comfortably carry up to 4 passengers. Powered by a 300 HP Suzuki outboard and outfitted with all of the latest navigation, fishfinder, and Bluetooth sound system to ensure a productive, safe, and all-around good time.

Depending on the trip you book, you can expect to go after several different species, including Flounder, Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, False Albacore, Spanish and King Mackerel, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Amberjack, and more! Depending on a few factors such as season, fishing reports, and any specific fish you want to target, Captain Travis will utilize various techniques, such as light tackle, fly fishing, spinning, bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and trolling.

You may keep your catch as long as it’s of legal size and in season, and the crew is happy to fillet it for you upon returning from your trip.

All of the necessary equipment will be provided, including all terminal tackle and bait. We also supply all safety equipment for adults and children. A cooler full of ice and water bottles, as well as small snacks, will be on the boat.

Drum Roll Charters is excited to have you on board!
