This is a great introduction for new groups or groups with kids to come aboard and catch some fish. Half days are typically spent trolling within 0-3 miles of the beach, definitely within sight of land. We generally have about a 15 min ride before we start fishing. Normal catches for Half days include Spanish mackerel, bluefish, false albacore and sharks. Once back to the dock, your catch is cleaned and bagged for you.

"I love fishing for everything, but would consider my specialty to be bottom fishing (grouper/snappers). Whether its hunting or fishing my number one goal is for the group to have an enjoyable and memorable experience, so they’ll come back again. I especially
like seeing kids on the boat, there's no describing the feeling when you see a kid catch their first fish. I try to be 100% professional at all times."

With a lifetime of fishing and hunting experience, Captain Stewart knows what it takes to have a successful outing. He offers duck hunting guide service in the winter and Morehead City fishing charters & Atlantic Beach fishing charters in the spring, summer and fall.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
