There's a fish with your name on it in Nags Head and JW Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these changing tides, Captain Jonathon can tell you all about them.
These waters are known for Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Bluefish, Black Drum, Striped Bass, Spanish Mackerel, Black Seabass, Grey Tiggerfish, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!'
On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing and bowfishing (must bring your own equipment).
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome, just make sure to bring a life vest for them if you think they will not fit in one of mine. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Capt. Jonathon operates a 20' May-Craft center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
JW Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Nags Head. So, how about booking that trip?

We caught some croaker and a large crab. Things were a bit quiet, but not for the lack of trying. Jonathon tried a bunch of different locations with fresh bait, but fish just weren't biting today. Regardless, we had a nice time on the boat, the weather was beautiful, many bird species and dolphins were spotted and Jonathon was very knowledgeable.
Thank you Alice greatly appreciate the nice review! Definitely was a slow morning for us but it wasnt from a lack of not trying! Thank you again safe travels!
Wanted to surprise my dad for fathers day, We rolled the dice, booking a 4 hour trip with Johnathan. We have been on hundreds of charters and I can honestly say this was by far one of our favorites. We had a great time, and John put us on the fish. Johnathan was one of the best captains we’ve had. Being raised here his knowledge of the area and fishing skills are unmatched. Just wanted to say thanks, and we can wait for next year! FISH ON - The Mathews
Christian thank you so for the words honestly. Yall were awesome and eger to listen and learn from me. It was a pleasure meeting yall and I cant wait to get on some sheep and cobia with yall next year!
3rd year with John and will continue coming back. After allowing us to push our charter a few days in search of better conditions we went near shore looking for Trigger Fish but unfortunately weren't able to find them this time. We did get some keeper black seabass however including my personal best jumbo. As always John is great with my son who is 9 now and each year he spends more time catching fish. We ended the day up on the Bonner Bridge pilings looking for Sheepshead but unfortunately couldn't land any. We will be back next year, if not sooner, to set out with John again!.
Thank you Josh for your continued support! It was a tough ine this year I sm glad we atleast made it out with a few pretty black seabass. It is always a pleasure having you and your family aboard and I am extremely grateful for yall continued support!
We had a great time on our charter with Jon! We caught several Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and a Houndfish. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job teaching us how to use the fishing rods he had. This is a great trip for someone with any level of experience. We kept our catch and only paid $7 to have the fish cleaned at the Marina. We will definitely be joining Jon on another charter in the future.
Thank you Cameron! Glad yall enjoyed it buddy hope to see you again!
we have been going out on our vacations with Jonathan for several years - usually later in the summer. We took a spring trip this year and targeted Blue Fin for the first time . Jonathan and first mate Sage didn’t disappoint. we hooked a nice 100 pound Blue Fin about 30 minutes in. My son and I both got a good workout. We hooked a second one about an hour later. A great trip again.
Thank you Mark for coming back for yet another trip we’ve definitely made some great memories together and its been awesome watching your son grow to almost an adult now. Yall hae been so many time with me i almost know what your favorite meal is for dinner now! always a pleasure cant wait til July!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I was raised here on the Outer Banks and my love for fishing stretches back to when I was a young kid. I've spent many of days and nights on the water and can't wait to share my experiences. After high school I joined the United States Marine Corps in which I spent 4 years serving this beautiful nation. After getting out I began commercial fishing on a pelagic long line fishing vessel. Needless to say I have a few tricks up my sleeve so come join me on the water for a memorable experience.
