Experience Fishing in Paradise - Shallow Minded Charters in Morehead City, NC

Experience the joy of fishing in the breathtaking paradise known as Morehead City with Shallow Minded Charters. Captain Michael Willis will guide you through this prominent fishing destination in eastern North Carolina, offering stunning scenery and abundant wildlife.

Step aboard the 25' Majek Xtreme saltwater fishing boat, expertly designed for local waters. Equipped with a 300HP Yamaha engine, capable of reaching a maximum cruising speed of 55 knots, it effortlessly navigates both inshore and nearshore fishing grounds. The vessel's GPS and fishfinder units ensure you find the best spots, while the wireless trolling motor keeps you stealthily gliding through shallow waters, avoiding startling the fish.

Our crew specializes in inshore and nearshore fishing, making each trip a diverse experience with various species. During the summer months, you can encounter Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout in the shallow waters. For those seeking off-shore adventures, target Bluefish, Cobia, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and Black Drum.

Captain Michael is committed to providing personalized guidance, teaching anglers the art of working artificial lures and improving their casting skills. While live bait is available when needed, lures are often highly effective. We provide top-notch fishing gear, including Penn International rods and reels, and tackle, ensuring an exceptional fishing experience.

A family-friendly company, we welcome children aged 5 and above on board. Kindly bring children's life jackets for their safety, as they must be worn throughout the trip.
