About Your Trip

On this epic Tarpon fishing charter, you'll get out there with Captain Jeffrey to chase the "Silver King" of North Carolina's inshore water. These fish are known worldwide for their speed, power, and acrobatic fighting skills, and are on every saltwater angler's "hit list". Although they're most famous in Florida, Tarpon can grow to massive sizes here in North Carolina, and fighting one on light tackle is an experience not to be missed!

You'll get off the dock aboard your guide's 24' Carolina Skiff—a great type of boat for fishing everything from flats to estuaries to nearshore structure. It's powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine, so you'll be on the fish in no time at all. Captain Jeffrey will come prepared with everything you need for a great day, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. He's an expert in these waters and will do everything he can to get you hooked up on a personal best! Bring along proper clothing, sunscreen, and a pair of polarized sunglasses to maximize your time on the water.
