Capt Billy Baxley

If you’re ready to love fishing in Ocean Isle Beach, we’ve got you covered with Capt Billy Baxley. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Billy can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Amberjack, Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Grunt, Almaco Jack, African Pompano Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Redfish, Gray Triggerfish, Black Seabass, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! The charter supplies life vests.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 26’ MayCraft center console with room for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait when available is provided. You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water and snacks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Capt. Billy Baxley is just a click away.
