About Your Trip

If you've been looking for a big-time fishing adventure out of Wilmington, NC, then this trip with Captain Joe has your name on it! With 4, 6, and 8-hour options, you can do it all, whether you want to stick to inshore fishing or venture further off and go after some bigger species.

The North Carolina coast is rich fishery, and has a variety of habitats where you can catch everything from Spanish Mackerel to Bluefish, Barracuda, and King Mackerel! Captain Joe has been running trips here for decades, and he knows this water extremely well. Whatever species you want to target, he'll set you up with the right bait and tackle so that you can come home with a trophy, fill your cooler with keepers, or both!

On this trip, you'll use different techniques depending on the season, water conditions, and your target species. That will typically include trolling, drifting, and classic light-tackle cast-and-retrieve techniques. Let Captain Joe what you're looking for, and he's there to help you get after it!

You'll be fishing aboard his 26' Seafox center console, an ideal boat for all kinds of water. She's driven by a 300-HP Yamaha, and is decked out with electronics, gear, and amenities to keep you fishing hard all day. Captain Joe will supply everything you need, so just pack a snack and some sunscreen, and you'll be set to go!
