Captain James moved to Hatteras in 1994. His love for the ocean and being outside is what brought him there. Fishing is something he always did for fun with friends and family. He first got his captain's license in 2007.

    GREAT DAY of fishing!

    Half Day Trip (AM)5 adults3 children

    Last Friday was the second time this summer ive been out with Jimmie and Mitch with Bonehead Charters. I took my two kids (10 yrs old) the first and we caught a load of Spanish Mackerel. Last week I took my kids along with my brother-in-law and his 8 year old daughter. We caught 23 keepers of Spanish Mackerel and Blue Fish. The fish started hitting almost immediatley and we had a great day of pulling them in. Here is whats special about Bonehead: Not only are Jimmie and Mitch good fellas and know how to find fish, they are SUPER awesome with kids. Mitch shows them what to do, how to do it, and why its done that way. He keeps the kids engaged and how to recognize when they fish are on. Before our half day was over the kids were spotting the lines and knew exactly when to grab a rod or pull a line, unhook them, and measure them. Ill never book with anybodys else in the OBX. Thanks guys.

    Family Friendly Experience!!

    2 Hour Trip – Sunset Cruise/Fish6 adults3 children

    Our trip with Captain Jimmy and first mate Mitch was truly one of the best experiences our family has had in OBX. We had 3 adults and 3 kids (ages 7, 10, and 15) on our trip. The focus was the kids having a good time - and they had a blast! Jimmy and Mitch wasted no time getting us on the water, lines in, and fish on! I'm still in awe of the patience and gentleness that the crew had for us. Answering every inquiry with very informative answers in a way anyone could understand. I wanted to book a second trip with them while we were here this week, but there aren't any slots available. Don't miss out on a once in a lifetime experience and book a trip with Bonehead! We're looking forward to coming back for our next adventure!

    Caught our limit!

    Half Day Trip (AM)6 adults

    We had an awesome time on this charter! The captain worked hard to keep us on the fish, and it paid off. We caught our limit of bluefish and even added some mackerel to the cooler. The mate was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a fun day on the water with plenty of action, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be back!

    amazing trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM)2 adults

    first charter and i would definitely book another! The Boneheads were great! The Captain was keeping us safe while finding fish! While the first mate was keeping us informed while helping us land them. Also the mate was telling s history about Hatteras in the surrounding areas about how the island works, how it grows and shrinks with the wind and seas. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel

What's biting with Bonehead Charters 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.
