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!

Captain Jimmy is great!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 9, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

This is our second year/trip with Captain Jimmy. Before we went out for this trip, we had spoke about the plans. He informed me how the bite was slow that morning, and was willing to go out if we were interested in the challenge. We went! We tried multiple areas but there were no fish to be had. It was still a great time for us because we enjoyed the company of our Captain. My boys and I will be back again next year, and we will try again. Thing about fishing is, theres no guarantee youre gonna catch what your after, but when you are hanging out with great people it’s still a blast! Thanks again Captain Jimmy! 🎣

a peaceful trip
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 25, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

I enjoyed seeing one of my sons catching his first fish in the sound. I also enjoyed the peacefulness of just being on the water. Capt Jimmy was a exceptional captain helping us navigate the sound and helping my sons with new techniques on how to fish with lures instead of bait. I would definitely book again . Next time I would book morning trip.

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    Our family went out with Captain Jim and we had a great day on the water. The friendly captain worked hard to get us on some fish and we all caught a few. He knows the water very well. The 2 biggest ones we caught were a large slot drum and a hard fighting blue. We also caught several nice sea trout and bluefish.

    I would highly recommend booking Captain Jimmy with Offpoint Sports Fishing. We had a great time and our group of four all caught fish. Captain Jimmy is very personable and within 5 minutes of fishing it felt like you were out there with an old friend. His years of experience and expertise definitely showed. His equipment was top notch and we had everything we needed. I will for sure be booking him again when we come back to the OBX.
