Year Round

Nearshore Fishing

Ocean fishing off the Crystal Coast targeting king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, cobia, amberjack, flounder, and more. Wrecks, reefs, live bottom, and open water, often within sight of land.

August and September

Trophy Redfish

Giant red drum, 40 to 50 or more inches, invade the Neuse River tributaries for their annual spawning migration. This is a catch-and-release, light tackle fishery unlike anything else on the East Coast.

October and November

Fall Albie Blitz

As the waters cool, baitfish pour out of the inlets and the predators put on a show. False albacore, sharks, mackerel, bluefish, and redfish, all within reach of Cape Lookout.

Built for These Waters

22-Foot Triton Bay Boat

The go-to platform for inshore and shallow water fishing. Equipped with an iPilot trolling motor, Power-Pole, Lowrance HDS electronics, hydraulic jack plate, trim tabs, and a 225hp Yamaha outboard. This rig gets you into the skinny water where the fish are.

Bluewater 23T Center Console

The offshore workhorse. A deep-V hull, flat deck, open bow, and a massive livewell for keeping bait alive all day. Powered by a 300hp Suzuki outboard, built for wreck hopping, bottom fishing, albie runs, and those windy days on the Neuse chasing old drum.
