Looking to explore the Pamlico with someone who runs these waters every week? Step aboard with Champs Coastal Charters and let a local put you on the fish. Capt. Chandler focuses on inshore and nearshore trips chasing Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and Striped Bass, depending on the time of year and conditions. One day you might be working grass lines and creek mouths, the next you’re drifting open river structure, the mission is always the same: bent rods and a relaxed day on the water. Most of the fishing is done with light tackle, which makes for fun, hands-on battles that beginners and experienced anglers both enjoy. If you want coaching, the captain is happy to talk through what he’s doing and why. If you just want to cast and hang out, that works too. Trips are family-friendly, and kids are welcome onboard. Safety comes first children will need to wear life vests, so please share their sizes ahead of time. Snacks are highly recommended to keep everyone comfortable through the trip. You’ll fish from a 22’ bay boat set up for up to 4 anglers. The listed base price includes up to 3; a 4th angler is +$75. The boat is rigged with the electronics and livewell you need for a productive day, and all rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided just show up ready to go. Anglers will usually need a valid North Carolina fishing license, which can be purchased online in just a few minutes. If you’re not sure what you need, Capt. Chandler can walk you through it. Plan to bring non-spray sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, and plenty of water. The captain will have some drinks onboard, and moderate alcohol is fine just no glass bottles. If you want to know what’s been biting lately, have questions about the area, or would like to tweak the trip to fit your group, send Capt. Chandler a message. He’ll help you plan a day on the Pamlico or Neuse that fits your crew.

Simmerson Susan5.0VerifiedNewFANTASTIC EXPERIENCE
6 Hour Trip on October 29, 2026 • 4 adultsAn Absolutely Outstanding Fishing Experience! We cannot recommend Chandler highly enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely fabulous. He is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely committed to providing an exceptional experience. He was attentive to everyone’s experience level, and as the day progressed, he individualized his instruction, gradually introducing us to new techniques and building on what we had learned. He’s an outstandinf teacher. It was a wonderful combination of expert guidance, patience, and fun. We caught plenty of fish and had an incredible day on the water! But what made this trip truly special was that we brought my elderly father along. He was once an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman, and our hope was simply to get him back out on the water and let him experience a little of what he has always loved. Chandler made that happen in a way that meant more to our family than he probably realizes. My dad had a fabulous day, enjoying the boat, watching the action, and being part of the experience again. That alone made the entire trip worthwhile. The boat was comfortable, clean, and well maintained, and every detail of the day reflected Chandler’s professionalism and genuine care for his customers. We have been on plenty of fishing trips, but this one was special for us. Chandler didn’t just put us on fish; he gave our family a wonderful day together and helped create a memory that we will treasure. I cannot thank him enough for that.
