Spend the day with High Tide Guide Service and get hooked on fishing in Oriental! With Captain Jackson at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

You're likely to fish for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and more if conditions allow. On the day of your trip, you're likely to use light tackle.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Jackson will bring you aboard a 26' C-Hawk center console that holds up to 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with High tide guide service is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    A great trip all around

    Family trip on June 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

    Capt Jackson took myself and three boys out on a half day trip and absolutely delivered a great time. he was personable, professional, and willing to teach me and the boys about the area, what fish he was targeting and how to fish for them. It could not have been a better trip. I highly recommend Captain Jackson Willis.

Capt. Jackson runs trips out of Oriental, NC aboard a 26' C-Hawk. These waters are known for Redfish and Speckled Trout and he will show you how to catch them. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
