Expert Offshore Fishing in Wrightsville Beach

Reel in Adventure: 6-Hour Offshore Fishing Trip

Get ready to hit the waves on a killer 6-hour fishing trip off Wrightsville Beach, NC. We're talking prime time on the water from 7 AM to 1 PM, chasing after some serious gamefish. Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Bonito, Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish – you name it, we're after it. This isn't your average day at the beach; it's a chance to battle with some of the Atlantic's most prized catches.

Trip Overview

We'll be cruising 10-20 miles offshore, where the big boys play. The season runs from April 1 to October 31, so you've got plenty of time to plan your attack. For $750, you and three buddies can have the boat to yourselves. No overcrowded party boats here – just you, your crew, and miles of open ocean. And hey, if the fish are really biting, we might even push it a bit further out. The best part? You can cancel up to a week before without losing a dime. It's fishing without the worry, folks.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll be doing a mix of trolling and bottom fishing, depending on what's hot that day. Expect to use some heavy-duty gear – we're talking sturdy rods, big reels, and lines that can handle a serious fight. We'll set you up with everything you need, from bait to tackle. You might be working with live bait one minute and tossing lures the next. It's all about adapting to what the fish want. And trust me, when a Mahi hits your line or a Sailfish starts dancing on the water, you'll be glad you came prepared for a workout.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Captain Coach did an excellent job putting us on the fish. We reeled in several Spanish mackerel and a few bluefish during the trip. It was my grandson's first time fishing on the ocean, and he had a blast. Coach was incredibly patient and took the time to teach him some solid fishing techniques. A truly memorable experience!" - Edwin

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi, or as we like to call 'em, Dorado, are the rockstars of offshore fishing. These beauties are known for their acrobatic leaps and stunning colors. They're fast growers and can hit sizes of 30 pounds or more in our waters. Spring through fall is prime time for Mahi, with summer being the peak. Anglers love 'em not just for the fight, but for the delicious fillets they provide.

Bluefish are the bulldogs of the sea. These guys are aggressive feeders and will hit just about anything that moves. They range from 2 to 20 pounds and are most active in the spring and fall. When a school of blues moves in, get ready for non-stop action. They're not the prettiest fish in the sea, but pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighters you'll encounter.

The Atlantic Sailfish is the holy grail for many offshore anglers. These speedsters can top 60 miles per hour and put on a show like no other when hooked. We see them more in the late summer and fall, usually chasing schools of baitfish. Landing a Sailfish is a bucket-list experience – their bills are longer than your arm, and they can easily top 100 pounds. It's catch and release for these beauties, but the photos and memories last a lifetime.
