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?
