About Your Trip

Get out there and get after one of North Carolina's premier sportfish in the beautiful waters off of New Bern, NC with Captain Joe! Redfish are among the most popular saltwater fish in the U.S., and for good reason—they're common, give a great fight, and provide a challenge for every level of angler.

These fish inhabit a range of water types, so you'll fish a range a water types, including inshore shallows and deeper areas
with some underwater structure. Expect to practice a variety of techniques, from jigging and bottomfishing to sightcasting, depending on what the fish are doing that day.

You'll get off the dock aboard your guide's 22' Pathfinder center console—a great type of boat for fishing everything that the Neuse, Bay, and Pamlico Rivers have to offer. She's powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine, so you'll be on the fish in no time at all. Captain Joe 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.
