    First experience deep sea fishing and it wont be the last

    12 Hour Trip – Offshore • 4 adults

    Captain Jonathan and his first mate we top notch! Before our trip I had a lot of questions and Jonathan was quick to repond and was thorough with his answers. The day of, was a great experience, he knew where to go, what was biting, and spent the time looking for the fish. We got lucky to catch what we caught (no guarantees in fishing) but walked away with 7 yellow tail tuna and stories to last a lifetime. Ill be badk again next year without a doubt!

    Reported catch:
    Yellowfin Tuna
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    BILLFISH GRAND SLAM !!!

    12 Hour Trip – Offshore • 6 adults

    Captain Jon delivered the charter of a lifetime as we caught Atlantic blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish all in one outing - a total of 7 large billfish including one 400 pounder !! He and his mate were all-around great hosts, making this a fantastic time for our group. We’ll never forget our experience and would highly recommend Blue Chip !

    Reported catch:
    Blue Marlin
    White Marlin
    Sailfish

    BLUE CHIP DELIVERS AGAIN.

    12 Hour Trip – Offshore • 2 adults

    This was our second trip with BLUE CHIP and they delivered in the exact same way as our prior trip. This CAPTAIN and his MATE are son knowledgeable. They just get the job done from start to finish, ATTITUDE, RESPECT and COMMITMENT. We will be back again for sure. Probably next year. We caught another one of our BUCKET LIST fish, so top praise to BLUE CHIP.

What's biting with Blue Chip Sportfishing in Manteo

Huge 'Smoker' Kingfish tear around the nearshore structure, while Bull Red Drum patrol the sounds. This is your last chance to battle Billfish before they head south, so save some time for offshore fishing.
