Onslow County Skipjack Fishing Charters

Base rate is for 3 anglers. We might find ourselves casting topwater plugs for Red Drum on an oyster bar, pitching jigs and live baits to deep current swept marsh points for Speckled Trout and Flounder, or vertical jigging Breakday Bucktails for flatties. Lots of options here! Start times will vary based on weather, season, or tidal conditions. Going out nearshore is an option if weather permits, and there is a $100 additional charge.

On the 3/4 day trip, you get 6 hours either inshore or nearshore. Targeted species can include Redfish, Flounder, Trout, Bluefish, Sheepshead, Cobia, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, False Albacore, and more.

This adventure is perfect for those who don't have enough time for a full day trip and want to catch a couple more hours on the water. This trip is similar to our 4 hour, however, it gives us more range for a better variety and is a great family trip.

This 6-hour adventure will take you after interesting and tasty species. You'll have a chance to target Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and many more. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join.

On these trips, we're able to push off and have some time to get some more fish in the box! On these trips we usually see king markerel, amber jack, mahi cobia, trigger fish, grouper, seabass and much more! All fishing license and gear is included with the trip. Just bring some snacks and drinks you may like in particular. We have everything else covered!

6 hours inshore near-shore flats or backwater.

6 hour trip departing 7am. Inshore, nearshore, rock jetties, wrecks and trolling depending on what the weather allows.

Nearshore charters allow anglers to venture into the ocean while still remaining close to land. This option is by far the most kid-friendly ocean fishing experience. Nearshore trips are great to introduce people to ocean fishing and usually offer better conditions than offshore trips. This is great for anglers targeting species such as Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Bonito, False Albacore, Sharks, Bluefish, and Grey Trout.

Join Capt. Ian Farley for a full day of fishing. This trip can leave from either the Morehead City boat ramp or the Marina in downtown Swansboro for your convenience. This trip is fishing with sandbar stops & nature tour.

On this trip you will head out 18-30 miles offshore. You will be targeting King Mackerel Mahi, and Amberjack or bottom fish for Triggerfish, Black Sea Bass, Snapper, and Grouper. Please bring your own food and drinks.
