Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for bonito in North Carolina as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and river fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in North Carolina are light tackle fishing, trolling, and bottom fishing but artificial lure fishing and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do North Carolina bonito fishing charters cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for bonito fishing in North Carolina?

The most popular season for bonito fishing in North Carolina is summer, and most anglers book their trips 14 days in advance.

Do I need a North Carolina fishing license for bonito and what are the bag limits for bonito in North Carolina?

    Trey was priceless in helping us out in a pinch! We had scheduled our company trip with another fishing charter, who ended up canceling on us last minute. Trey went above and beyond to help us find another charter in time! Our experience with Captain Shane out of Morehead NC was absolutely outstanding! They took care of us in every way making sure we all had an exciting day catching all kinds of fish and getting it all ready to take home with us. We will definitely use Trey with Captain Experience when booking our next Charter! Thank you Trey for your attention to our unique situation, we wouldn’t have pulled it off without you!

    Had a great day fishing with Captain. Cord caught a few Spanish mackerels and even real in a good size barracuda. Cord was very flexible with us rescheduling since it rained on our original day.
