If you’re ready to love fishing in Ocean Isle Beach, we’ve got you covered with Capt Billy Baxley. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Billy can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Amberjack, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Grunt, Almaco Jack, African Pompano Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Redfish, Gray Triggerfish, Black Seabass, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! The charter supplies life vests.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 26’ MayCraft center console with room for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait when available is provided. You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Great fishing trip for our 4 year old

Kids Trip1:00pm 2Hrs on September 20, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

My 4.5 yo son and I went out with Captain Billy recently and had a great time! My son is just starting to get into fishing, and Captain Billy was so nice and patient with him--he has a grandson about the same age, and it certainly shows. We caught a lot of fish, which was great for reinforcing my son's love of the sport. And one of the major highlights for my kid was that captain Billy let him steer the boat, which he hasn't stopped talking about since. We'll certainly go back out with him when we are back down in Ocean Isle, and hopefully my younger son can tag along in future years. Thanks so much for all of the memories.

Title: Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Bill Baxley

6 Hour trip on August 16, 2025 • 2 adults

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Captain Bill Baxley, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget! From the moment we set sail, Captain Bill’s passion for fishing and knowledge of the waters were evident. He took the time to explain the best techniques and shared tips that really made a difference in our catch. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making our day on the water enjoyable. We were fortunate to reel in some impressive catches, and Captain Bill was always there to help and ensure we were having a great time. His enthusiasm and dedication to providing an excellent experience were truly commendable. If you’re looking for a fantastic fishing adventure, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Bill Baxley. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, he tailors the experience to fit everyone’s needs. Can’t wait for my next trip!

Professional guide beautiful outing

Kids Trip1:00pm 2Hrs on August 20, 2025 • 3 adults

Captain Baxley took us out and put us on the fish. The teenagers really enjoyed the outing as much as they did the sharing of his passion for fishing. We all learned a lot from him, even though we did not catch very many fish due to the recent bad weather. He did his very best to make sure our fishing experience was very memorable. We will definitely book with him again when we are in the area.

Great fishing trip with fantastic captain

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on August 14, 2025 • 6 adults

Captain Billy was one of the best charter captains we have experienced. He was super friendly and provided hands on help to folks in our group who wanted it, and he allowed a lot of independence to folks who didn’t want much help. He was great with our mainly teenage crew, and gave them lots of fishing tips! Would highly recommend. We went on the four hour hear shore trip.

Incredible!

Kids Trip1:00pm 2Hrs on July 31, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

Captain Billy was amazing! We did the 2 hour kid charter as a first introduction to fishing on a boat for my 4 year old. Billy was amazing in how he worked with my son and he delivered on every request that my son made. He went the extra mile, including educating my son on features of each fish that we caught (pin, croaker, and blacktip shark, which was exactly what my son asked for). We are already checking schedules to see when we can get back to the coast and book with Captain Billy again, for a 4 hour charter.
