About Your Trip

Get ready to explore the inshore and nearshore waters off of Atlantic Beach, NC with Captain Daniel! This trip is perfect for those looking to tackle a wide variety of species, from classic North Carolina inshore sportfish—Redfish, Spotted Trout, Black Drum, and Flounder—to the hard-fighting nearshore fish, such as Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and Striped Bass.

Captain Daniel specializes in spinning gear and light tackle, so this trip is a perfect opportunity to practice your cast and retrieve with a variety of different lures and bait. You'll get to test out jigging, top-water retrieves, and some bottom fishing while you try Captain Daniel's best spots and "honey holes".

You'll get off the dock aboard your guide's 22' Pathfinder bay boat—the ideal type of vessel for fishing everything from flats to estuaries to inshore structure. It's powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine, so you'll be on the fish in no time at all. Captain Daniel 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.

Daneil is an amazing captain. He made sure that we got a large variety of fishing experiences, we caught so many that we loss count of how many fishes were caught...we just had such an amazing day. My 17 yr old grandson slept nearly the whole way home. Highly recommend him
