Surf City Blackfin Tuna Fishing Charters

We leave the dock early, as it takes 2 plus hours to reach the gulfstream. We start off our day trolling for the poligic fish as the sun is just rising off the horizon. We finish off our day bottom fishing for our meat fish such as groupers, B liners, cobia, (red-snapper when in season) and much more. We always provide waters to drink. Make sure to bring a cooler with your food, snacks and other bevereges, and to transport your catch home. Dont forget hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen lotion!

The inshore creeks and shallow waters of North Carolina are home to some exceptional game fish. Go after Sharks, Cobia, Bluefish, and Mackerels, and you'll even get to take the tastiest of your catch home with you. Use all your strength to reel in one of these tough fighters on the boat during this 5-hour trip. Stay in the inshore or nearshore waters up to 5 miles from the coastline. You'll spend 5 hours going after exciting species such as King and Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Cobia, and even Sharks.

This is the longest trip with this charter and is completely dependent on weather and sea conditions. Call ahead of time and prepare to be flexible as weather windows open and close with short notice. You'll be running beyond 50 miles to fish the edges of the Gulf Stream for big fish, including mahi mahi, blackfin tuna, big king mackerel, and wahoo. Billfish is not specifically targeted, but catch and release is always a possibility. This is also a good trip for a smaller group (2–3 fishermen).

Our personal favorite trip. We will be running about 55-60 miles out to the gulfstream to troll with heavy tackle for Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi and Sailfish. This trip can be great year round and is also very good in the winter months for Wahoo and Tuna. We will also do a little bottom fishing on this trip if the trolling is slow.

An 8-hour trip within 40 nm. A wider range of target species with more time on the water! May include Amberjack, Cobia, Grouper, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Porgy, Seabass, Snapper, Triggerfish, Wahoo, Tuna, and Sailfish. A Mate will accompany all fishing charters and works for tips. 20% of the total trip price is customary.

Ten hours of fishing offshore. Greater than 50 miles offshore. The species you'll target will vary based on the time of year. For example, you may have the chance to catch Marlin, Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Tuna. Remember to give your first mate a tip and reward him for his hard work, 20% is the standard.

On these trips, we're able to push off and have some time to get some more fish in the box! On these trips we usually see king markerel, amber jack, mahi cobia, trigger fish, grouper, seabass and much more! All fishing license and gear is included with the trip. Just bring some snacks and drinks you may like in particular. We have everything else covered!

This trip allows us to travel out to the Atlantic Ocean's Gulf Stream. This South to North flow of warm water is where some of North Carolina's most prized fish reside. We'll be using big tackle to do battle with big fish. Different species are more prominent during different times of the year so be sure to ask if you are looking to target something specifically. A typical 12-hour trip consists of trolling and bottom fishing unless the trolling bite is hot or the group strictly wants to bottom fish.

Weather dependent, we run to the Gulfstream troll for wahoo, dolphin and tuna. We also offer deep water slow pitch jigging for tile fish, snowy and yellow edge grouper.

Just a short ride from the inlet, we fish productive reefs, wrecks, and live-bottom areas where bait and predator fish gather. Depending on the season, we commonly target Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Red Drum, Grey Trout, Bonito, and a variety of bottom species. Start times can often be flexible — just ask when booking
