Carolina Beach has a fish with your name on it, so let Gypsy Dawn Charters help you catch it! Captain Todd will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of sportfishing experience.
Species like Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. For these fish, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll find yourself aboard a 40' Jersey Dawn 40 sportfishing vessel with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Gypsy Dawn Charters!

Half Day Trip (AM)
We had an awesome fishing trip on the Gypsy Dawn today! Booked a half day charter today with 5 of my buddies and it was everything we were expecting and more. We ended up catching around 20 Spanish mackerel in four hours. The Captain and crew were incredibly knowledgeable and fun to hangout with. They kept us up to date on weather conditions leading up to the trip and were able to advise us on what to expect to catch. We plan on booking from them again in fall.

Upon arrival for our trip the captain was very communicative about the possible bad weather heading our way and giving us constant updates! The ride on the boat was smooth even with the choppy water and the cpt and 1st mate share so much knowledge about fishing, it was a blast learning from them! I highly recommend going out with them! The communication is unbelievably great and the time on the water couldn’t be better without them!!! Thank you!

We certainly wouldn't have moved catching more fish, but the Mackeral we did catch were delicious. The crew were great, the trip was a blast and everyone enjoyed themselves!
