Ocean Isle Beach fishing charter delivered again today with a red-hot nearshore bite! This gorgeous gag grouper was caught just a few miles off the beach while bottom fishing nearshore structure. The action’s been steady lately with reef species like gag grouper, black sea bass, and more biting on live bait, cut bait, and verticsl jigging. Conditions have been great, and now’s the perfect time to take advantage of the summer bite while it’s on fire. Want to get offshore just far enough to bend a rod and bring home some fish? Book your Ocean Isle Beach fishing charter today — let’s go fishing!

We’ve been having a blast chasing sharks just a couple miles off the Ocean Isle Beach coastline. Most of the action has been coming on fresh cut bait, and the sharks haven’t disappointed. Lately, we’ve been hooking into plenty of feisty sharks in the 3–6 foot range, including this 5.5-foot nurse shark pictured here. These trips are perfect for anglers looking for big fish and fast-paced fun. Shark fishing offers an exciting challenge and a chance to go head-to-head with some powerful fish — and it’s all happening close to shore, which makes it ideal for families and first-timers too. If you’re ready for a hands-on battle with a shark, now’s a great time to book. The bite has been steady and the smiles have been nonstop.

Mason joined me from upstate SC this week and got his first ever inshore grand slam, catching a redfish, multiple trout, and multiple flounder. And to add icing on the cake, he did it all with lures -no bait! Great job young man! If Mason can do it, so can you! Book your trip with Captain Harvey right here on FishingBooker!
