Dead Tide Sportfishing

Hoping to cast a line in Wrightsville Beach? Dead Tide Sportfishing is your ticket! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Will knows them forwards and back.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Amberjack, Bonito, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, African Pompano Jack, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, and whatever else takes the bait. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You’re welcome to bring home any fish you catch, assuming they’re legal to keep. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home and throw it right into the pan. Enjoy it later that day or pack it away for months down the line.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Capt. Will welcomes you aboard a 28’ Contender center console with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. 

Now, time to hit the water with Dead Tide Sportfishing!

    This trip allows us to push out even farther in pursuit of pelagics and hard-pulling bottom fish. The range of this trip can vary from 10-30 miles depending on where the bite is. This trip allows for a greater likelihood of encountering Mahi Mahi on the troll and tasty bottom fish like Grouper and Snapper. During certain times of the year casting poppers, jigging, and live baiting around weed lines can be very productive as well.

    This trip allows us to travel out to the Atlantic Ocean’s Gulf Stream. This South to North flow of warm water is where some of North Carolina’s most prized fish reside. We’ll be using big tackle to do battle with big fish. Different species are more prominent during different times of the year so be sure to ask if you are looking to target something specifically. A typical 12-hour trip consists of trolling and bottom fishing unless the trolling bite is hot or the group strictly wants to bottom fish.

Capt. Will runs trips out of Wrightsville Beach aboard a 28’ Contender. These waters are known for Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, and Grouper, and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or trolling. With 5 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
