Giant bluefin season officially closes at 11:30 pm today; however, that does not slow down the bluefin charters. We are allowed to keep any fish under 73" and there are a bunch of fish under that threshold out there. Yesterday, we released 4 bluefin about 68-70", caught a nice wahoo about 30 lbs, and a few king mackeral. Not a bad day at all. Still time to get in on the bluefin action

Last week was productive offshore. On a recent 6-hour charter fishing trip, our crew ran just offshore and quickly put together a limit of Black Sea Bass. The fish were stacked up on structure and biting aggressively, keeping rods bent and coolers full. Sea bass fishing remains strong right now,...

Sea bass fishing remains strong right now,
making this a great time to book a Carolina Beach charter fishing trip.

We are still seeing an excellent speckled trout bite, but are also having some incredible black drum fishing when the wind allows us to get out to the jetties. Also catching some really nice striped bass on our speckled trout trips.

    My 10y/o son and I were looking to catch our first redfish and learn how to do it ourselves in the future. Michael was phenomenal! Not only did he get us on the fish, but he was a true professional and kind hearted teacher. He broke down each spot and the techniques needed to catch em. It was an all around exceptional experience; we will certainly be using Michael again for some spring time action!

    I’m an experienced fisherman who wanted to become better at targeting red drum and trout. Joe not only put me in fish, but taught me things about fishing that area that will help me catch fish on my own for years to come. Highly recommend!

    Trip: Sunset Trip

    It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

    Thanks for the trip had fun and the first mate was awesome. He made sure the kids had fun and how to use all the equipment and educated everyone. The welds on the boat were spectacular. Captain took the time to talk with the kids and made it a great time. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the area. Thanks again Mark and Tom
