    Great Family Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Jake is the man! Exceptional captain and boat. He took us out as a family on a beautiful day and we had a blast and caught plenty of bluefish, Spanish mackerel and 1 banded rudderfish. Anyways Captain Jake’s boat is really nice and he’s a great guide and captain for any level. Recommend 100%

    Jake is A Great Captain!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    Jake did his best to find us some fish! We only caught a few, but it was still a great day on the water. Jake is very personable and made sure everyone could cast and fish. We cast, trolled and tried to catch sharks. Highly recommend.

    Awesome Awesome Awesome, great experience forever memory

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    Mr. Jake Dempsey was great, very personable which is so helpful and goes a long way in his business, my wife was a little nervous and Jake was very helpful explaining to her how to fight and land the bluefish we were catching, as you know are a great fighting. To tell you a little more or his character he noticed a boat stuck on sandbar, stop to successfully help. Jake was very knowledgeable of the area we fished, fishing was fantastic for my 14 year old son's first charter fishing trip, we could have caught blue fish all day, but Jake first tried to sight fish for shark and that was exciting just seeing them swimming around, back to more bluefish and what an incredible way to end the day by doubling up one Sandbar and once my son Cooper got it to th boat the second pole began to go and the fight was on with a very nice size Blacktip shark...it was a great fight and an amazing experience for my wife Debbie, myself but one I know and hope for a very long time if not his lifetime and amazing time and memory for my son Cooper...truly thankful to Mr. Jake Dempsey for this opportunity and just an over great fishing experience.

What's biting with Team Dempsey Guide Service in Hatteras

Hatteras offshore fishing in September is still great for Billfish, especially White Marlin, who stick around well into the start of fall. You will also find plenty of Blackfin Tuna and a year-round inshore fishery.
