Bounty Hunter Guide Service – 22' Bay Boat
+54Bounty Hunter Guide Service offers inshore and nearshore fishing charters in the area surrounding Cape Lookout and the Neuse River. They serve Harkers Island, Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, and the rest of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.
Guiding your experience is Captain Will Jones, a lifelong fisherman who grew up casting lines in these waters. Whether you prefer light tackle or fly fishing, he’ll help you reel in a catch to remember!
Step aboard a 22’ Triton powered by a 225 HP Yamaha engine. This craft is fitted with the latest fishing technology, including GPS, fishfinder, a wireless trolling motor, and a live bait well. There’s room on board for up to four passengers and children are welcome.
While fishing the waters of Cape Lookout you will have the chance to catch a wide variety of species. The local flats, marshes, and creeks are home to Red Drum, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Jack Crevalle, sharks, and more.
If you enjoy catching big fish on light tackle, look no further than fishing for Red Drum in the Neuse River. You can join Capt. Will for six to eight hours and target monster Red Drum weighing 50 lbs and above!
A nearshore trip allows you to cast lines in the ocean, fishing the wrecks and reefs for Spanish Mackerel, False Albacore, Bluefish, and many other species. When the weather allows, you can venture out a little farther and add larger fish to your list, such as Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and King Mackerel.
Bounty Hunter Guide Service provides a fishing license and top of the line gear, featuring the likes of Penn, Shimano, Orvis, and more. You are welcome to keep your catch and Capt. Will can clean and fillet it for you.
Come aboard today for some drag screaming action and a catch to remember!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) on May 31, 2022
Capt. Will was great, very knowledgeable of the fishing waters we covered and what worked best to catch fish. We had to work to find fish but we persevered and finally found them. Plan on booking him again in the fall for some bull reds.

Captain will loves his job and it really shows. He was just as enthusiastic about our catches as my friend and I were. It felt like we were out fishing with a buddy rather than someone taking us from point A to point B, and that is why I will be booking him again.

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 9, 2020
I booked two back to back half days. The trips were great. We had a lot of fun. The captain was layback but stayed focused on keeping us in the fish. I took my sons along on these trips. The captain was just as entertaining as knowledgeable of the area. Had a great time and highly recommend this trip to anyone.
