If you’re ready to start fishing in Buxton, we’ve got you covered with Offpoint Sportsfishing. Your guide for the day is Captain James, which allows you to benefit from years of professional experience.

There’s no guarantee when you’re fishing, but some species you can catch around here include Redfish, Bluefish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Sheepshead. On these trips, you can expect to jig using light tackle. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

Your boat for the day will be a 21’ Carolina Skiff that can fit up to 4 guests. Feel free to take home some of the fish you catch, assuming they’re legal to keep. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home and throw it right into the pan. How’s that for fresh seafood?

Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Offpoint Sportsfishing is a child-friendly charter service, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! You’ll want to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, light snacks, and drinks.

Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen with Offpoint Sportsfishing!

Great day on the sound!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 24, 20252 adults1 child
Prior to the start of the trip, Capt. Jim was in constant communication with us about the meeting point and what we would be going after and gave us crystals clear directions to his dock. Once we were on the boat, we immediately set out on our day. Capt. Jim was extremely knowledgeable about the portion of the sound we’d be fishing on and was very easy to talk to. We got hit with a little rain during the day, but Capt. maneuvered around it as best he could. Once we got to the first point, my boy landed a beautiful speckled trout and we continued to pull in fish the rest of the trip. The four hour trip went extremely fast, but it was well worth it. My boys and I had a great time today! Thanks Captain Jim and we’ll see you next year!

Half day fishing with Captain Jimmy
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 23, 20252 adults
Don’t think you’ll find a better Captain than Captain Jimmy. I’m a whitewater rafting guide so I understand his job somewhat and he performs it perfectly. Which is expected from a Captain who loves what he does. The conversation never ended and when it was time for our trip to end we didn’t want it to be over! But we know it won’t be the last time we are in a boat with him. The next time we are here we will definitely fish again and hopefully we get to show him and his family around the mountains in our hometown and and get them on some rivers and mountain trout.

Captain Jimmy is very personable and knows the sound inside and out. Even though a heat wave kept the fish from being active, he knew where to take us so we could maximize our chances. It was a very memorable day, and we highly recommend him. We’ll be back the next time we’re in town!

Captain Jimmy was very friendly, helpful, and kind. Most of us in our group had never been fishing before and Captain Jimmy made it so easy. He has very nice equipment and we caught fish on a tough fishing day. We already can’t wait to go back on another trip with him!!

We had a great day on the water with Jimmy. He put us on the fish in short order, and we ended up with a great catch of blues and specks. We really enjoyed his hospitality, and the lively conversation. We recommend Jimmy highly!
