Based out of Hatteras, Gambler Sportfishing is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard with Capt. Stephen, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 5-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, King Mackerel, Amberjack, and Little Tunny, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your adventure begins on board a 42’ Cape Dory boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet, an ice box, and a fighting chair.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Stephen runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Gambler Sportfishing.

Awesome time, tons of fish, and a whale!

VERIFIED

We couldn’t have imagined we would have such a blast. Four adults and two children under 6. Everyone caught fish. Captain Stephen put us on a bunch of king mackerel and mate Bob worked his butt off to keep lines in the water so we could keep reeling em in. Would definitely book with the Gambler again during mahi season in the summer.
