If fishing in Beaufort is on your bucket list, look no further than Rising Tide Outdoors NC. With Captain Ryan at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters are known for Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Redfish, Bluefish, Sheepshead, Weakfish, Black Seabass, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be dropping lines from a 22' BlackJack bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Capt. Ryan has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

4 Hour Trip
My brother and I had a great time with Captain Ryan. He was very knowledgable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our experience a great one and it was.I have a hard time with arthritis in my hands and he stood by, baiting hooks and handing me the rods without pause - and then would give me hints on what to do as I fished which I appreciated. Despite some rainy and windy weather which was NOT predicted for that day, we still caught fish and had an amazing time. We also learned a lot about the area that we did not know! We highly recommend Ryan. He's a man of integrity and works very hard to make sure his customers are happy.

4 Hour Trip
Ryan was on top of everything!! The boat was so clean, great equipment and Ryan was absolutely great at handling the boat and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond getting us on the fish. He also handled a moody teenager flawlessly lol. I highly recommend going. You will not be disappointed, he is an all around nice guy. We will be returning and he will be my goto guy for charter fishing. Picture included is Captain Ryan and my son.

Summer fun in the sun
Had an awesome time out on the water. Ryan had a great eye for the best spots and an even better men’s restroom. Caught plenty of fish and made some great memories. Will definitely be booking again when in town. Even the misses caught the fishing bug and looks forward to going back out. You’re a good man Ryan, thanks again!

4 hour shared trip.
I had the best time i caught a whole mess of fish which I took home and ate for dinner. Captain Ryan was amazing put me right on the fish 🐟 and was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend anyone to charter a trip with him anytime they want to catch fish and not just fish for fish, because catching fish is so much fun.
