Southport Gag Grouper Fishing Charters

We will only be going out for Amberjacks!

Join our Cooler Buster Fishing Charters for an unforgettable offshore adventure! We head 10 to 40 miles out, targeting a mix of species with both trolling and bottom fishing techniques. Whether you’re chasing fast-moving pelagics or hauling up hard-fighting reef dwellers, our trips are built for action and packed coolers. Great for anglers of all levels looking to experience serious saltwater fishing with experienced guidance.

Our personal favorite trip. We will be running about 55-60 miles out to the gulfstream to troll with heavy tackle for Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi and Sailfish. This trip can be great year round and is also very good in the winter months for Wahoo and Tuna. We will also do a little bottom fishing on this trip if the trolling is slow.

This trip will take you all the way to the gulf stream, 65 miles out.

If you're looking to fill the cooler up and have the experience of a lifetime, this 12-hour trip is for you. Be sure you bring your A-game! This trip is for beginners and avid anglers alike. We will be bottom fishing for Grouper, Snapper, Triggerfish, Jacks, and many other species. We also will have a drift line off the back for Mahi Mahi, Kings, and Wahoo. The 3-hour boat ride out to the fishing grounds will be well worth the wait. We will be fishing 100–130 feet deep water up to 60 miles offshore.

This trip allows us to travel out to the Atlantic Ocean’s Gulf Stream. This South to North flow of warm water is where some of North Carolina’s most prized fish reside. We’ll be using big tackle to do battle with big fish. Different species are more prominent during different times of the year so be sure to ask if you are looking to target something specifically. A typical 12-hour trip consists of trolling and bottom fishing unless the trolling bite is hot or the group strictly wants to bottom fish.

Trips consist of targeting Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Barracuda, Mahi, Black Bass, and other species of bottom fish. This trip allows more time to run further offshore to locate and fish for a larger variety of species as compared to the nearshore/inshore trip. The distance ran offshore will be a maximum of 40 miles, weather permitting. This trip allows for a maximum of 4 people.

The 8-hour trip gives you plenty of time to go out and do some trolling along with some bottom fishing. This is a great trip for beginners and experienced anglers. It is enough time to go out around the 30-mile range and get back in time to enjoy an afternoon on the beach!

Catch us up to 40 miles off the beach targeting Grouper, Snapper, Mahi, larger Amberjack, Bonito, and many more species. Trolling and bottom fishing will be done during this trip. Fishing Licenses are FREE and included in price. Up to 6 people and kids are more than welcome.

Join us for 8 hours of fun and adventure. On this trip, we will be trolling for King Mackerel, Barracuda, and Bonito. We will also be Live bait fishing on wrecks for Amberjacks, Cobia, and Gag Grouper. This is an intermediate trip with the possibility of catching fish up to 40 lbs.
