New Bern has a fish with your name on it, so let Inshore Bite Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Randy can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Black Drum, Catfish, Crappie, Flounder, Redfish, Shad, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, Yellow Perch, and plenty more. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Capt. Randy operates a 20' Sundance B20 skiff with capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Randy will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

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. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Inshore Bite Charters!

    Fun for First Timers

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on June 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    Randy was exceptional, He is very knowledgeable of the Area and sice me and My son were new to fishing, He took the time to Explain and Guide us through the day, The Fish were not cooperating, I guess thats why is called Fishing and Not catching!! With that said, Randy did not settle for us to go Empty Handed and keep taking us to different spots until finally we got some Nice Fish!! He even when an extra hour o our Trip just to make sure we got our Fish, For that a BIG THANK YOU to Captain Randy. Will be booking with you when we are back in the Area.

    Awesome inshore charter

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on September 3, 2025 • 3 adults

    Randy was a great Captain, he shared tons of knowledge and took us to spots all up and down the neuse. We all caught multiple types, and brought home enough croaker to make a lunch feast of fresh fish tacos. Randy was super easy going and was equal parts guide and friend. I would def recommend Inshore Bite Charters!

Benefit from Capt. Randy's extensive knowledge of the local fishing areas and ensure a memorable fishing trip for your group in New Bern. He has been fishing the surrounding area since 2010. Everything from fun fishing and tournaments, he has covered it all on the surrounding waters. This area is known for Striped Bass, Spotted Seatrout, Red Drum, and Flounder and you'll get to catch them using spinning, or other techniques. The only way to learn is to join him on the water.
