World-Class Oak Island Fishing Charter | 8-10 Hours

Full Day Oak Island Fishing: Kings, Snappers & More

Get ready for a serious day of fishing off Oak Island, where the big ones are always biting. This 8-hour charter takes you way out—we're talking up to 50 miles offshore—to chase after some of the Atlantic's most prized gamefish. Whether you're after a smoker king mackerel or a hefty grouper, we've got you covered. The best part? Everything's included, so you can just show up ready to fish. From first-timers to seasoned anglers, this trip's got something for everyone. Let's break down what you're in for on this Oak Island fishing adventure.

What to Expect on the Water

Alright, here's the deal: we'll start the day early, loading up the boat with all the gear you'll need. As we head out, you'll see Oak Island fade into the distance as we make our way to the prime fishing grounds. We're not messing around—this is a full day commitment to putting you on fish. We'll hit both nearshore and offshore spots, giving you a taste of everything from the fast action of Spanish mackerel to the arm-wrenching pull of a big grouper. The captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in good hands. Just be ready to reel!

Techniques & Gear Rundown

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of techniques to target different species. For kings and Spanish mackerel, we'll likely be trolling with live bait or artificial lures. When we're after bottom dwellers like snapper and grouper, we'll switch to bottom fishing with heavy tackle. The boat's loaded with top-notch gear—sturdy rods, quality reels, and all the bait you'll need. We've got everything from light tackle for the nearshore action to the heavy stuff for when we're in the deep. Don't sweat it if you're new to this; the crew will show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.

What Anglers Are Saying

"Billy was great! One of the most fun days I've had on the water." - Paul

Species You'll Want to Hook

King Mackerel: These speedsters are the rockstars of nearshore fishing. Known for their blistering runs and aerial acrobatics, hooking into a king (or "smoker" as we call the big ones) is pure adrenaline. They can top 50 pounds, and when they hit, hold on tight! Best fishing is typically from late spring through fall, but we can find them year-round in these parts.

Mahi Mahi: Also called dolphinfish, these are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. With their vibrant colors and acrobatic fights, mahi are a favorite among anglers. They're fast growers and can reach over 30 pounds. We usually find them around floating debris or weedlines offshore. The meat is delicious, so if you're looking for a fish to take home for dinner, mahi's hard to beat.

Cobia: These bruisers are like the linebackers of the sea. They're curious fish that often swim right up to the boat, but don't let that fool you—once hooked, they fight like crazy. Cobia can grow over 100 pounds, and even a smaller one will give you a workout. They typically show up in our waters in late spring and stick around through summer.

Red Snapper: These guys are the prize of the reef. With their bright red color and tasty white meat, they're always a target on our trips. Red snapper season is strictly regulated, so when it's open, we go hard after them. They love structure and can grow to over 30 pounds. The bigger ones are called "sow" snapper, and they're crafty—it takes skill to get them off the bottom.

Little Tunny: Don't let the name fool you, these "false albacore" fight way above their weight class. They're speedsters that will make your reel sing. While they're not prized for eating, the sheer fun of catching them makes them a blast. We often find them busting bait on the surface, and when that happens, it's non-stop action.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, there's a reason folks book this trip again and again. It's not just about the fish—though trust me, there are plenty of those. It's about the whole package. You're out there on the open water, salt spray in your face, with the chance to tangle with some serious fish. The variety is unbeatable. One minute you're battling a king mackerel on light tackle, the next you're muscling up a grouper from the depths. And let's not forget the wildlife you might see—dolphins, sea turtles, maybe even a whale if you're lucky.

Plus, you've got a captain who knows these waters inside and out. They'll put you on the fish, sure, but they'll also share stories, give you tips, and make sure you're having a good time whether the fish are biting or not. It's like fishing with an old buddy who happens to be a pro. And with all the gear provided, you don't have to stress about a thing. Just show up ready to fish and maybe make some new friends along the way.
