Ocracoke has a fish with your name on it, so let Off Island Adventures help you catch it! With Captain Jimmy at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
You’re likely to go after Flounder, Bluefish, Black Drum, African Pompano Jack, Cobia, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, and more if you come at the right time of year.
During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Your fishing machine for the day is a 24’ Skiff that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials.
Capt. James will provide rods and reels for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid glass bottles.
Off Island Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Ocracoke. So, how about booking that trip?

4 Hour Trip – Inshore Halfday (AM) on May 14, 2025
Our favorite fishing trip to date! Not only did we catch a bunch of fish, the Captain went above and beyond during our trip. Even going so far as to turn the boat around so my mother in-law could take photos with her now husband in front of the place they were married from the oceans view. We will absolutely do this again on our October trip. If you're unsure about booking, here is your sign to book now!🎣🛥

A friend and I went out twice with Jimmy Whalen and couldn't be happier. He put us on fish both days. I fly fish and he accommodated me both days. His boat is the cleanest boat I've ever fished from and his skill at finding fish is great.

We tried several different spots including some trolling. Jimmy was a great guide and we enjoyed our day on the water with him. I would recommend this trip. We didn’t get a picture of the blue fish we caught. The flounder and pompano were returned to the sea.

Amazing half day on the water with Captain Jimmy. Caught some Sea Bass, a few Spanish Mackerel and a Blue - all filleted and delivered to our rental. Appreciated him sharing insights of the local islands as we headed towards our fishing spots. Would book with Captain Jimmy again!
