Off Island Adventures – Pamlico Adventure 

We would absolutely do this trip again. Captain Jimmy is the most helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and customer oriented captain we have ever encountered. He asked us what our expectations were and then proceded to exceed them in every way. We did catch bluefish and spanish mackerel that we kept and also caught a very nice bonito as well as sea bass and lizard fish. I would chose to fish with him every trip.

I’ve been on a couple fishing charters, and none match up to how fantastic this charter was. I brought my teenaged sister, who has always wanted to go on a fishing charter, and thankfully Captain Jimmy was kind enough to take us out not just in the Ocracoke inlet, but out in the ocean due to good conditions. He was simultaneously informative about Ocracoke, the diverse fish population we caught, and the Outer Banks while helping us reel in a mix of Spanish mackerel, groupers, sea bass, blue fish, and bonitas! It was truly a wonderful time, and he was especially attentive to making sure we weren’t sea sick and had enough water (which was much appreciated)! Afterwards Captain Jimmy went above and beyond in finding someone to help us prepare our fish too - even dropping it off at our hotel! Truly a positive experience and I highly highly recommend this to anyone interested.

Jimmy called me before the trip to pivot because of weather and fish biting. Appreciated his knowledge of the water and his enthusiasm. Put us on 6-8 spanish mackerel and one of the boys caught a citation. My son caught a 24 inch black drum fishing a wreck as well. All in all a great morning

This was our second trip with Captain Jimmy and nothing short of amazing! My husband and son caught so many fish! Definitely our number one choice for fishing around Ocracoke! If you're on the fence about booking, take this as a sign to book now. You wont be disappointed!

We booked an in-shore trip with Jimmy on 7/23/25 knowing we were going out in the “slow” season. Within 15 mins. of leaving the dock we had 7 Blue fish on board. We were interested in trying our luck on some sheepshead. First time the three of us fished sheepshead and within 20 seconds of dropping lines we had a beautiful fish in the cooler. We learned so much from Jimmy about fishing these famously elusive fish and he put us over top of them every time. What our party of three lacked in skill on the bait stealing sheepshead was redeemed by the steady action with the sea bass that made the trip even more successful. The icing on the cake was the beautiful clear Caribbean waters that gave us an opportunity to see various species of ocean life including two loggerheads swimming around the boat. Capt. Jim is equal parts angler, historian, teacher and heckler. And we were there for all of it. Great trip with a great captain. Don’t miss it.
