Looking to catch some fish in Nags Head? Patriot Sportfishing is your ticket!

Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, White Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions. You may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!

You'll fish aboard a 55' Offshore sport fishing with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain has rods and reels for you, along with lures.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip!

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! It's always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and a hat. Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Your trip with Patriot Sportfishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Amazing day on the water!
Full Day Trip – Offshore on July 25, 20265 adults

Captain Mitch and 1st mate Caden made everything look easy. Heavy swells were no issue with some that were very inexperienced offshore. We were on fish all day with no down time. Easiest return and processing of catch with very fast turnaround. Can’t wait to go back out!

Reported catch:

Great Trip because of a great crew!
Full Day Trip – Offshore on July 1, 20266 adults

Great trip, captain was knowledgeable and first mate was amazing. We caught our limit on Blue Line Tilefish, a large amount of Mahi-Mahi and a Bonita. Only downside was generator feeding air conditioning wasn’t working at time so it got a little warm.

Wonderful Experience
Full Day Trip – Offshore on July 23, 20246 adults

I have often heard from people that taking a fishing charter is too expensive. It's not the expense but your experience once you're out on the open water. Captain Mitch and First Mate Bradon provide you with that experience. Captain Mitch provided my family with first-class service. First Mate Bradon took his time to explain every aspect of the equipment and what it was used for. Along the trip, you get to know these two men and have nothing but respect for them. If you are looking for a great time and a truly wonderful experience I would highly recommend the Patriot and its crew, you will not be disappointed. From my Family to yours Thank you for everything. William Grubb
