This is the longest trip with this charter and is completely dependent on weather and sea conditions. Call ahead of time and prepare to be flexible as weather windows open and close with short notice. You'll be running beyond 50 miles to fish the edges of the Gulf Stream for big fish, including mahi mahi, blackfin tuna, big king mackerel, and wahoo. Billfish is not specifically targeted, but catch and release is always a possibility. This is also a good trip for a smaller group (2–3 fishermen).

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 extended adventure will take you to the offshore spots for some big game fishing. You'll go trolling for Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and Billfish, or bottom fishing for Grouper, Snapper, and Triggerfish. You'll usually go 45-75 miles out.

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.

This trips are great for targeting, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Red Drum, Grey Trout, Bonito and a variety of bottom species. Choose between trolling, bottom fishing or drift fishing or a combo of them all. (Ask about start time flexibility)
