Nearshore Fishing
Fishing the ocean waters off of Cape Lookout and the Crystal Coast offers great variety and plenty of pillage! Weather is always a determining factor on what you can do on a given day, but species of fish we often target include king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, sharks, flounder, bluefish, black sea bass, cobia, amberjack and more!
These nearshore trips will be on the 25' center console, which provides the perfect ocean fishing platform whether we are casting at the surface feeding fish, trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, live bait drifting. You won't believe the action you can find without leaving sight of land, but if you want to stretch your legs and get out there, we can do that too!
The best trips for nearshore fishing, when the weather is good enough to stretch your legs are definitely the longer trips. A full day will open up range and time to do a lot! A 3/4 day is the minimum length trip for targeting species like king mackerel, amberjacks, cobia and anything that requires a lot of effort. The flexibility of a full-day trip will create the best chance of success, but a 3/4 is enough to target some big fish closer to home.
We take requests of course, but ultimately, the weather and prevailing conditions will dictate what we can do and species to target. Please trust your captain to provide the best experience possible! Believe this... he wants you to catch fish just as much as you do, probably even more!
