On the 1/2 day trips you stay within sight of land and target species such as Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Flounder, Drum, and Cobia, as well as Shark. The smaller children love to spot the wild horses on the shoreline as well as the dolphins. The captain and the mate will work hard to put you on fish, for their efforts, a 20% tip at the end of the trip is customary.
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 full day trip, you get 8 hours to do both inshore and nearshore fishing. Or you can just concentrate on one. Targeted species can include Redfish, Flounder, Trout, Bluefish, Sheepshead, Cobia, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and more. Your catch can be cleaned at the dock and will cost you extra.
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.
Take a longer ride out to the deeper water for trolling or even bottom fishing. No fishing license is required. Cash only + 20% or more as a tip for the mate.
Explore the nearshore waters within 15 miles of the beach. Depending on the season, you can expect to catch King Mackerel, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, a variety of bottom fish, and Seatrout, Sheepshead, and Black Seabass. This is a great trip for anglers new to the sport who want to learn more about local fishing.
Spend an hour more on the water and have a great time fishing with your loved ones! Staying within sight of land, you will chase Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Flounder, and Drum. This trip is especially suitable for the whole family as well as young kids as it allows not only fishing but also watching the dolphins and wild horses near the numerous islands. For these trips, there is a customary 20% tip. Also, departure times are flexible, so you can start your trip at 10:30 instead.
On this trip, you'll be targetting a similar range of species as on the crew's 8 hour trips. Fishing North Carolina's fish-rich grounds close to the shore, you'll have lots of fun chasing Spanish and King Mackerel, Redfish, Spadefish, Bonito, Black Drum, Flounder, and more.
Right along the beach! Out to two or three miles not very deep! Trolling for Spanish mackerel blue fish king mackerel false Albacore and Atlantic Bonita

Half Day Inshore with Captain Justin
5/5
I have rated him before and again he is one of the absolute best in the business. We had a great time and caught a lot of fish. I and family will for sure be back to book with him again.
It was a little slow this morning so we headed in towards shore caught lots of live bait, and had the time of our life. Captain Justin was great so .ake sure you give him a call.
It was a great and beautiful day on the water. Captain J ran a bunch of different spots looking for redfish and looking for the right tide. He worked hard keeping our baits fresh, no sitting back and hoping. It started slow but that’s fishing but in the end we found the redfish and finished strong with a bunch of great memories especially for my wife on her first redfish!
Thanks Captain J
