    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!

    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!

We will definately book with them on the next trip.

What's biting with Capt BC Sportfishing in Nags Head

The big crowds and busy beaches of summer are over, but there's still plenty going on on the water. The first few Bluefin are showing up offshore, while huge Red Drum swarm the sounds.

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.

Heading home by breakfast!

May 31, 2025 • Nags Head
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!
