I have always enjoyed and excelled in various sports since I was a kid. I was also introduced to hunting and fishing by my grandfather at a very early age. Later, I moved to the coast where I enjoyed scuba diving and fishing. My neighbor was a commercial fisherman and charter captain and fishing with him on occasions influenced me to get my captain's license. Being a scuba diver also has given me a first-hand look at the structure and reefs I am fishing and the fish that inhabit these areas.

    Great Captain, Great Fishing, Great Experience

    3/4 Day Trip3 adults

    We had a great 6 hour nearshore charter with Captain Bishop! We were lucky enough to book with him last minute after another charter canceled, and it couldn’t have worked out better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable. We caught 24 Spanish mackerel and were also able to spend some time fishing for sharks, landing a hammerhead as well. He made sure we got to do everything we wanted, and we never felt rushed. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend Victory Charters!

    we had a great day out on the water and came home with some fish and some stories

    Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

    We caught a modest number of fish, but it didn’t really matter. We watch the sun coming up over the Atlantic Ocean. My kids and grandkid were excited to be out on the water together. My captain was great. I have no problem recommending this trip to anyone. I hope we get to repeat it again.

    Fishing with Chuck

    Half Day Trip (PM)4 adults

    Coach was incredible, even though the fish weren't biting today. Captain “coach” did everything to ensure we had a good time, kept trying, and caught a shark for some good entertainment — like my husband said, “that's why they call it fishing not catching”. Thanks Coach! We will be back!

    Solid trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM)4 adults

    The captain was super personable and contacted us upon confirmation of the trip to give us information about what to expect. We are newbies to fishing and he did a great job finding spots to troll and show us how to reel in our catch. Very memorable day for us and our two sons. Thanks Coach!

What's biting with Victory Charters in Wrightsville Beach

September is peak season for big 'smoker' King Mackerel, and the cooler weather makes fighting all the more enjoyable. Kingfish are an NC specialty and well worth targeting while you're in town.
