About Your Trip

Get ready to experience the hidden fishing gems of Cape Hatteras with Captain Jimmy—a Buxton native who knows these waters like the back of his hand. Running locally owned Offpoint Sportsfishing, Captain Jimmy offers inshore saltwater trips that’ll have you reeling in dinner and bragging rights.

Fishing the legendary Pamlico Sound, you’ll target prized species like Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Gray Trout, Bluefish, Flounder, and even Sheepshead, depending on the season. These waters are full of opportunity and far less crowded than many Outer Banks fishing spots, giving you a relaxed, rewarding experience.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 21’ Carolina Skiff built for shallow water action and comfortably accommodating up to 4 anglers. Whether you choose a half-day, 3/4-day, or full-day charter, Captain Jimmy will guide you to the hottest bite using light tackle and jigging techniques. All rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided—and fish cleaning is available so you can take your fresh catch straight from the water to the pan.

This family-friendly adventure is perfect for all experience levels. Just be sure to bring your NC saltwater fishing license, sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, snacks, and drinks.

Born and raised in Buxton, Captain Jimmy is USCG certified, fully insured, and all about showing you a good time on the water. Book today and discover the kind of Outer Banks fishing most folks miss out on!

Fishing trip with Captain Jimmy Pititti on Pamlico sound was a pleasant experience! We had some fun and close sightings with Dolphins but not much fish that day. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your vast knowledge of local history. Terri Lynn Boyd

Had a great time fishing with Captain Jimmy, caught a bluefish and a spotted sea trout on our morning outing. We only needed to bring ourselves and a cooler of drinks and snacks, he handled the rest, including poles, rigging, and fixing tangled & snapped lines. We only wish we would have planned our trip in spring or fall so we could catch even more fish, but we were satisfied with what we caught for...
