About Your Trip

Let Captain Jamie be your guide to the rich inshore waters of Wilmington, North Carolina on this half-day trip. You'll get to chase a variety of inshore gamefish species on light tackle, including Carolina classics such as Redfish, Spotted Trout, and Flounder, plus the chance for cruising Cobia, Triggerfish, Striped Bass, and more. If you get a little further out, cross your fingers for Bluefish, Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, and other speedy fish. Captain Jamie is an extremely experienced fisherman—if it swims, he's probably hooked it, and would love to help you do the same.

Captain Jamie's will take you out aboard his 21' SeaPro bay boat—a perfect vessel for the inshore waters you'll be fishing. It's equipped with a 150 HP Yamaha motor, so you'll be on the fish in no time, plus a trolling motor so you can sneak up on your targets. Captain Jamie will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. All you need to bring are a pair of polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and any snacks or drinks you might need. Book your trip today and let Captain Jamie take care of the rest!

Had an absolutely amazing day with Captain Jamie. He's incredibly knowledgable about fishing and the area and super personable. The fish were a little slow to bite at first but Jamie went above and beyond to try different spots he knows and put us on some fish. The mackerel started biting and we ended with the day with a full cooler! All of us were new to fishing and he was very good with beginners...

Had a great half-day trip fishing with Capt Jamie near Wrightsville Beach and Masonboro Island. We caught a few fish and learned a lot about the fishery and habitat. Knowledgeable and patient captain. Saw some dolphins, too.

We even got to fish one of the shipwrecks from the Civil War, which was amazing. We couldn’t of asked for a more...

My son and I had such a fun trip with Captain Jamie! He was great with my son, a patient teacher, and he navigated the area with ease. He even tried to hook us a shark! We also saw dolphins and lovely wildlife, and we caught some interesting fish. My son can’t wait to go back and is counting down the days until we see Jamie again!
