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!
