JW Charters
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?

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!
This was our first fishing charter, and wont be the last! Captain Jonothan was very patient with my super beginner self, and helped my husband and dad know where to cast and what to feel for since ocean fishing is VERY different than what we’re used to. Not many caught, but that’s our fault (user error!) I would recommend this charter 100/10 times!
Thank you so much Bethanie! Its tough when they pull you up in the bridge like that! Im glad yall enjoyed it and haf some awesome scenery!! I hope to try yalls cheesesteak sometime!
I had an incredible. Very knowledgeable and really showed me exactly where to catch fish. I learned so much and we had an amazing time highly recommend! Definitely recommend if you just have a chill and relaxing vibe. If you’re thinking about booking do it you won’t regret it. Works hard to make sure you have a great time.
Aiden thank you so much! I had alot of fun showing you the ropes! super stoked you had a great time buddy we only had a few bites but 2 ilhouts is reslly tough sometimes. I really appreciate you taking time to type this all up! Goodluck with basic training I hope to fish eith you again! Thank you!
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!
My son and I have gone with Captain Jonathan before during our trips to the OBX. He has always been knowledgeable of the good spots and we have not come back disappointed. Not much action at the beginning of the trip trying to catch some spotted trout but the second half of the trip was the exact opposite with several large blues and some nice keeper red drum. On the way in Captain Jonathan spotted an area that looked to good to pass up so we did a little overtime and caught a few nice red drum. We are already looking forward to our next trip with him when we come back next summer.
Thank you Mark! It’s always a blast with you Gabe! See y’all in may!

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.
