Morehead City has a fish with your name on it. Come catch it with Third Day Fishing Charters! With Captain Adam Price, as seen on Wicked Tuna Outer Banks, leading the way, you'll be fishing alongside 35 years of local knowledge and hands-on experience up and down the east coast of the US to give you the best chance at landing something unforgettable.
Depending on the season, you could reel in species like Amberjack, Cobia, King Mackerel, Black Seabass, Redfish, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, and more. Whether you're trolling offshore or bottom fishing closer to the reefs, every trip is tailored to where the fish are biting. We also offer Blue Marlin trips by request. Our inshore trips are especially productive and a guest favorite. These 4-hour trips consistently put anglers on fish and are a great option if you're looking for steady action and a high chance of success. For those wanting more time on the water, we also offer 8-hour trips, where you'll have the opportunity to travel farther and target even bigger fish. For the ultimate offshore experience, we offer 11-hour trips that reach the blue water, targeting prized pelagic species.
You'll be fishing aboard a spacious 28' sportfishing boat, comfortably accommodating up to 6 guests and equipped with everything you need for a successful day on the water. All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided. Just show up ready to fish. If you're interested in fly fishing, you're welcome to bring your own gear and give it a shot.
This trip is perfect for everyone, from seasoned anglers to families looking to make lasting memories. Kids are always welcome, and you're encouraged to bring snacks and drinks for the ride. No fishing license? No problem, that's all taken care of for you.
Just bring the essentials like sunglasses, sunscreen, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation (no glass), so feel free to pack a cooler and relax while you fish.
All that's left to do is book your trip and get ready!

Bob Bateman•
Buffalo, NY, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewGreat Captain!!
Half Day Trip (PM) on September 21, 2026 • 3 adultsA beautiful day on the water with a fantastic Captain! things started a little slow, but Captain Adam persisted and we finished strong. His knowledge of the area and where to find the fish. The boat is great, tackle is top notch, and the stories and conversation with Adam made the day complete. I highly recommend to individuals or families who are looking for a great day fishing!
Richard Walker•Tennessee, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedA great "First" ocean fishing experience
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 28, 2026 • 3 adultsAdam was a great captain, and squid, his mate. The were very friendly and education. We mostly caught Spanish Mackrell. The three of us caught 8 in 3 hours. The weather wasn't that great and two of us (not me) got a little sick. Had the weather been a better and sea sickness not a thing, we would have caught more and bigger fish. It was a good experience for a first time out. My only wish is that we could have been a bit more hands on with the fishing polls. Next time!
David Sanford•Pittsboro, NC, USMember since 20205.0VerifiedNewGreat trip!
3/4 day near shore - out to 20 nm on August 29, 2026 • 3 adultsCaptain Adam, Was great. We went out with my two boys. Our first four fish were all different. We caught a King Mackerel, 4 Mahi, 4 Albacore, 3 Barracuda and 1 Spanish Mackerel. we could not have asked for a better day! Many thanks to Captain Adam for a memorable and wonderful day!
Patrick O'sheaRepeat angler•Delaware, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedTough Weather, but Great Trip!
12 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 30, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 childrenI took my 11 year old son and his friends out for a special trip. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing and seas were 4-6 ft on the way out. Captain Adam and Squid were very patient with the boys and made things happen. We had some good success with dolphin, including a few who got away. They’re experienced and skilled, and they know where the fish are. I would gladly go out again with the two of them.
Bradley Hicks•North Carolina, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewGreat trip
Half Day Trip – Sunset on August 25, 2026 • 3 adultsWe enjoyed the fishing trip and was active in fishing. The Capton was knowledgeable and easy to engage and communicate with. My wife and daugher loved the experience and highly advised the trip. We caught 15 fish and had 12 keepers.

Captain Adam was amazing, had everything you needed on the boat, to include some extra items you might have forgotten. He was great with the kids, my oldest caught plenty of fish and my youngest enjoyed the ride, and he did a great job at including them both. Overall great trip caught plenty of fish, 10/10 reccommend.

Patrick, thank you for the great review! We appreciate you trusting us with such a special trip for your son and his friends. The weather definitely made things challenging, but we’re glad everyone stayed positive and we were able to put some dolphin in the boat. Squid and I enjoyed having y’all aboard, and we appreciate your patience and kind words. Looking forward to fishing with you and the boys again soon!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
As a young kid growing up in Core Creek, I spent my days fishing the local waters. I began commercial Bluefin Tuna fishing at the age of 20, chasing fish from the Gulf of Mexico all the way up to New Jersey. I also spent three years fishing out of Ocean City, Maryland, where I had the opportunity to compete in—and win—the White Marlin Open. While those years on the road were exciting and rewarding, I ultimately decided to scale back on traveling and stay closer to home, focusing on the same waters I grew up fishing and know best.
