What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out past the breakers as the sun starts to climb, the salt spray in your face and the anticipation building. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll head straight for the most promising spots. We provide all the top-notch gear you'll need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time offshore, we'll make sure you're set up for success. And with a max of 4 guests, you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention to hone your technique.

Trolling, Jigging, and More

We'll use a mix of fishing methods to maximize your chances of landing the big one. Trolling is our bread and butter out here - we'll set up a spread of lines and cruise at the perfect speed to entice those pelagic predators. When we spot some good structure or a promising temp break, we might switch it up with some jigging or live bait fishing. Keep an eye on those sonar readings - when we mark a school, it's game on! And don't worry if you're new to these techniques. Our crew will walk you through every step, from setting the drag to fighting that trophy fish all the way to the boat.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi, or Dolphinfish as they're sometimes called, are the stars of the show out here. These neon-colored speedsters are known for their acrobatic fights and delicious meat. They typically range from 15 to 30 pounds, but we've seen some real monsters push 50+. Mahi love to hang around floating debris and weed lines, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for those telltale signs. They're most abundant from late spring through early fall, but we can find them year-round in the warm Gulf Stream waters.

The Atlantic Sailfish is the holy grail for many anglers visiting Wrightsville Beach. These billfish are pure muscle, capable of blistering runs and jaw-dropping aerial displays. They average 6-8 feet long and can top 100 pounds. Sailfish are seasonal visitors, with the best action typically from May to July and again in the fall. When a sail lights up in that electric blue and purple, trust me, it's a sight you'll never forget. Landing one of these beauties is a true badge of honor in the offshore fishing world.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing these waters that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of never knowing what might grab your line next - could be a hard-fighting king mackerel, a tasty grouper, or even a blue marlin if you're lucky. Or maybe it's the breathtaking views of the coastline fading into the distance as we head for the open ocean. For a lot of our regulars, it's the chance to disconnect from the world for a while and just focus on the rhythms of the sea and the company of good friends or family. Whatever your reason, I guarantee you'll leave with some great stories and an itch to get back out there.
