The small town of Beaufort, North Carolina and the surrounding Crystal Coast, offers some world class fishing opportunities. Whether you want an active adventure, or simply the chance to bag some fresh fish, Captain Jack has been fishing the local waters for over 20 years. His vast knowledge of the area will make sure you have a good time while he’s showing you around.

You’ll be going after your fish aboard a 20 foot Intruder skiff that can easily accommodate 3 anglers.

This is an inshore fishing charter so you will be fishing the local creeks, flats, and rivers. You may encounter Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Striped Bass, and Sheepshead, just to name a few.
