I started as a mate on a charter boat, over 12 years ago, since then I've worked my way up to the captain position, with my own boat, after years of commercial fishing AND charter fishing, I've learned these local waters and know exactly what to target and when to target the fish that you want to catch. The main fish we target here in onslow Bay are grouper, snappers, mahi mahi, sailfish, wahoo, king mackerel and cobia.

About Your Trip

The deep water off Snead's Ferry is where serious offshore fishing happens, and Captain Daniel's full-day trip takes you right to it. Running 25 to 45 miles out, this outing chases both pelagics and bottom dwellers across some of the most promising offshore grounds on the North Carolina coast. Trolling and bottom fishing run back to back throughout the day, keeping lines in the water and options open from the first light to the last drop.

Captain Daniel adapts the approach as the day develops, shifting between the troll and the bottom bite based on what conditions and the fish are telling him. Electric reels handle the deeper drops with efficiency, and Starlink connectivity, GPS, and radar keep the crew dialed in and positioned throughout the day. This is a well-equipped operation run by someone who puts in the work to find fish and make the most of every hour offshore.

The 26-foot pilothouse makes the run comfortable and practical, with a livewell to keep bait healthy and an enclosed helm that handles changing sea conditions with ease. A mate is on board for every trip, working for tips and fully committed to making your day as smooth and enjoyable as possible, handling rigs, gaffs, and fish so you can focus on fishing.

A full day at that distance gives you real time to work multiple species and multiple techniques as opportunities develop, and Captain Daniel fishes hard to create as many of those opportunities as possible.

If you're ready to put in a serious day on the water off Snead's Ferry, book a trip with Captain Daniel and see what the offshore grounds have to offer.
