    Such an awesome experience!

    Full Day – Offshore • 5 adults

    Captain Buddy and his first mate, Wes, provided an outstanding experience, and their cabin was impeccably clean and comfortable for our group of five. They were both so friendly and professional, even taking the time to manage our expectations by letting us know the previous day's fishing had been slow. Despite that, we had an incredible day on the water and hauled in a fantastic mix of tuna, wahoo, tilefish, black sea bass, and Bonita. We ended up with 110lbs of fish after cleaning, which the fish cleaning crew confirmed was the most caught by any boat that day! We had such an exciting time that we are already planning our next trip back to the OBX just to get back out on the water with Buddy and Wes.

    Reported catch:
    Yellowfin Tuna

    Full Day – Offshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt was very communicative, knowledgeable, and communicated with others on the water constantly to give us the best shot at catching fish (which we did). Landed on a patch of dolphin that we couldnt reel them in fast enough! I took my dad and 5 year old son, cabin was comfortable when needed and my son got to catch his first deep sea fish. Would recommend!

    Epic Day of Gamefishing

    Full Day – Offshore • 6 adults

    This was our second trip with Capt BC. This trip we brought a sailfish and white marlin to the boat and over 40 mahi in the fishbox. Captain BC is dedicated to a great experience and his mate was on top of it all day. The boat and equipment are all top notch. Thanks for another great trip. We will definately book with them on the next trip.

    Reported catch:

    Top Tier Sport Fishing!

    Full Day – Offshore • 5 adults

    Great time with Captain BC and First Mate W. We booked this trip for a bachelor party, and they exceeded every expectation. Even on a tougher day when the fish weren’t biting as much (which is all part of the sport) they worked nonstop to put us in the best spots possible and did everything they could to make it a great experience. Their effort, attitude, and the overall environment made the trip unforgettable. Would highly recommend and absolutely book with Captain BC again!

    Response from Captain

    thanks so much, Billy! we look forward to having yall out there again!

    Considering the weather heading our way, we had a great day. We got a fish on in less than 1 minute of dropping the lines with the next 5-6 fish on within the first 10 minutes. Over 25 fish...mostly tuna, an amazing king mackerel. Captain and mate, Wes, were super nice - We're happy!

    Captain BC knows where the fish are. His mate was friendly, knowledgeable, and working. Max catch of Mahi and then fun with White Marlin. Great equipment and bad ass boat. Best Deep Sea trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend!

    I would highly recommend Capt BC Sportfishing! My family had a fantastic day on the water with Captain Buddy and his deck mate West on the Capt BC boat. Both men were professional, knowledgeable, and shared our excitement for the catches made. The boat was spotless and had a comfortable inside cabin. They had all of the equipment needed for our deep sea fishing trip. Once we reached the first location, Captain Buddy immediately had us on a school of Mahi. We maxed out in under an hour! We will be eating fish for months. Then we went on the hunt for sailfish. My husband had a blast catching and reeling in a white marlin. Captain Buddy and West made our first deep sea fishing experience memorable! We can't wait to do it again!

What's biting with Capt BC Sportfishing in Nags Head

This is the top month for giant 'Smoker' King Mackerel, so get your stand-up gear ready and prepare for some arm-melting action. Too stressful? Stay inshore and catch Red Drum and Striped Bass instead.

Tunaaaaa

Jun 7, 2025 • Nags Head
Unfortunately, today’s charter had to reschedule due to a family emergency. Wishing them all the best — this family has been fishing on the Capt BC since the early ’70s, and we’re looking forward to chasing marlin and mahi with them this fall. Let’s catch up from this weekend. We had the pleasure of fishing with the L.F. Jennings crew this past Saturday, and these guys brought the good luck with them! We put together a solid catch of Yellowfin Tuna. Can’t wait to have them back next year! We still have June 22nd, 29th, and 30th open.

We had our good friend David Hefner from Crawl Masters out of Pungo on board. We slipped up to the Northeast and with hardly any boats around, we pieced together a solid catch of Yellowfin Tuna! We’ve still got June 25th, 29th, and 30th open.

We gave Frank and his crew the option of a refund today due to unfavorable weather conditions, they said they wanted to give it a try! Lucky for us, the Tuna were hungry! The box was full and we were heading home by 9am!
