Hey there, fellow angler! Ready for a sweet deal on some of the best inshore fishing Pamlico has to offer? As a loyal customer of Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters, you're in for a treat. We're talking a 10% discount on our 6 or 8-hour charters, giving you more time to reel in those prized catches without breaking the bank. It's our way of saying thanks for sticking with us through thick and thin.
Picture this: You're out on the calm waters of Pamlico Sound, rod in hand, with nothing but the gentle lapping of waves and the occasional splash of a jumping fish to break the silence. Our Captain's Loyalty Trip is all about giving you more of what you love – prime fishing time in some of the most productive waters on the East Coast. Whether you're after the elusive sea trout, the hard-fighting redfish, or the always-fun bluefish, we've got you covered. And the best part? It's just you and the captain, so you'll get all the attention and local knowledge you need to make this trip a success.
We don't mess around when it comes to fishing techniques. Depending on what's biting and where, we might start you off with some light tackle jigging around the grass flats for those sneaky sea trout. If the reds are schooling, we'll switch gears and toss out some live bait or work the shorelines with topwater lures. And for those bluefish? Hold onto your hat because we might end up doing some run-and-gun fishing, chasing the birds and the bait balls. We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. All you need to bring is your game face and maybe a lucky fishing hat.
Our regulars have been pulling in some real beauties lately. The trout bite has been on fire, with several customers landing their personal bests. Redfish have been schooling up in the shallows, giving fly fishermen a run for their money. And let's not forget about those bluefish – they've been so thick in some spots, you could almost walk on water. Every trip is different, but that's the beauty of fishing in Pamlico – you never know what you might hook into next.
Sea Trout: These silver-sided beauties are the bread and butter of Pamlico Sound fishing. Known for their speckled backs and yellow mouths, sea trout are as fun to catch as they are delicious to eat. They love to hang around grass flats and oyster beds, often feeding in schools. Spring and fall are prime times, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Watching a big trout explode on a topwater lure at dawn is something every angler should experience.
Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored bruisers are the bulldogs of the flats. They can grow to over 40 inches long, and when they hit, you'll know it. Redfish love to cruise in shallow water, often with their tails sticking out of the water (we call that "tailing"). Fall is the peak season when big schools of bull reds come into the sound to spawn. There's nothing quite like the pull of a big red on light tackle – it's the kind of fight that keeps anglers coming back year after year.
Bluefish: Don't let their size fool you – pound for pound, bluefish are some of the hardest fighting fish in these waters. These toothy critters are fast, aggressive, and always hungry. They travel in schools, often chasing bait to the surface in exciting blitzes. Summer is prime time for blues, but you can catch them from spring through fall. They're not the best eating, but for pure fishing fun, it's hard to beat a day when the blues are running.
It's not just about the fish – though that's a big part of it. Our loyal customers rave about the whole experience. From the moment you step on board, you're not just a client; you're part of the Pamlico Pirate crew. Our captains know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're always happy to share their knowledge. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, we'll make sure you have a blast. And let's be honest – that 10% discount doesn't hurt either. It's our way of saying thanks for being part of the Pamlico Pirate family.
Alright, let's cut to the chase – this deal won't last forever, and the fish aren't going to catch themselves.

Remember, this is a one-on-one experience, so you've got the captain's full attention.

Bluefish are the bulldogs of our local waters. These aggressive feeders usually run 7 to 20 pounds, with some topping 40. You'll find them in our bays and tidal rivers from mid-June through October, often churning up the water in feeding frenzies we call "bluefish blitzes." They're lightning-fast and will hit just about anything – making for some exciting fishing. Folks love bluefish for their hard-fighting spirit and tasty meat when prepared right. Best time to catch 'em is during summer, especially when they're chasing bait schools near the surface. Here's a tip: if you see birds diving, there's a good chance blues are feeding below. Toss a shiny metal lure into the fray and hold on tight – these guys don't mess around when they strike!
Redfish, also called red drum, are a favorite here in Pamlico. These copper-colored beauties typically run 28 to 33 inches when mature, but can get much bigger – the state record is over 90 pounds! Look for them in shallow water, 1 to 4 feet deep, around oyster reefs, grass flats, and old structures. They love a muddy bottom. Redfish are here year-round, but fall is prime time when they school up. Anglers go crazy for the fight these fish put up and their excellent table fare. To land one, try sight-fishing in clear shallows or working topwater lures early morning. Here's a local secret: on windy days, look for them tailing in marshy areas where they're less spooky. Just remember to release the big ones – they're the best breeders.
Sea trout are a prized catch in our local waters, typically ranging from 14 to 24 inches and 1 to 5 pounds. You'll find them in cold lakes and rivers, often hanging around gravel bottoms. These fish are known for their silvery appearance and torpedo-shaped bodies covered in spots. They're most active in cooler months, with November and December being prime spawning time. Anglers love targeting sea trout for their delicate, mild-flavored meat and the exciting fight they put up. To boost your chances, try fishing grass flats or shallow waters at night. A local tip: use artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs – sea trout can't resist a well-presented lure skimming across the surface. Just remember, these fish have soft mouths, so set the hook gently to avoid tearing it.
