Spend the day with Captain Evan on the Southern Run and find out what fishing on the Outer Banks is all about!

These waters hold game fish like Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Bluefish, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, and more, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

The Southern Run is a 24' Bay Rider center console with space for 4 passengers. Call us if you have up to 6!  It has all the essentials. The captain will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, which means all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. You can take home some of the fish you catch, assuming they're legal to harvest.  There are fish cleaning services at the marina!

It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. 

Southern Run will provide you with a relaxed, fun filled day with family and friends. So, how about booking that trip?

    Evening Trip 3 hrs on August 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My daughter in law and I took my 9 year old grandson out for some salt water fishing and man did we catch some fish! Capt Evan did such a great job! We caught a variety of fish and a stingray! He was awesome with my grandson and showing him how to salt water fish and even gave us a beautiful sunset to see. He did such a great job. He was laid back and fun to be around. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

    Surprise RedDrum

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 29, 2026 • 3 adults

    Great morning fishing trip! My wife landed a 44 inch red drum while we were fishing for spotted trout. Captain Evan coached her through reeling in this monster on light weight gear. It was incredible to watch them run around the boat, move things below the motor, and for Evan to back the boat up to unwind the line from a crab pot. Oh yeah, my father and I also a bunch of mullet and bait fish. We moved to a few locations and saw some dolphins!

    Great Captain, boat, equip, and knowledge of waters

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Evan was very friendly and great with the kids/family! He communicated w/ us shortly after booking and was flexible on the departure time on the morning of making it feel less stressful of an early morning trip. We don’t get any bites from big fish but we still had most fun catching bait fish, seeing dolphins, stingray, and a great view of Bodie Lighthouse. We will definitely book with Evan & his team again!
