Highlights from this trip

The trolling and drifting trip is designed to offer the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation while staying close to shore. Here’s what makes this inshore fishing adventure so special:


  • Trolling for top gamefish: We’ll fish for mackerel, bluefish and false albacore while staying close to the beautiful shoreline.
  • Sight-casting for big targets: Keep an eye out for cobia and big red drum as we search for prime opportunities to reel in something impressive.
  • Drifting for sharks: Depending on the conditions, we may anchor or drift to target blacktip, spinner and hammerhead sharks, adding an extra thrill to your day.
  • Calm waters: This trip is perfect for those who prefer calmer conditions. If the ocean gets rough, we’ll transition to the tranquil Pamlico Sound.


If you want to reel in a prize catch without heading out into deep water, this trip always delivers.
