One charter, your tide.
4, 6, or 8 hours — every trip runs light-tackle inshore on the Pamlico River, Pamlico Sound, and Neuse River, with all gear on the boat.
Pamlico River Inshore Charter.
Spend a half day or full day fishing the Pamlico River, Pamlico Sound, and Neuse River with Champs Coastal Charters. These guided inshore trips focus on light-tackle action for speckled trout, red drum, flounder, striped bass, bluefish, and other seasonal inshore species.

This charter is beginner-friendly and well suited for families, friends, first-time anglers, and small groups. Rods, tackle, bait, fuel, ice, and water are included so guests can focus on learning techniques, catching fish, and making memories on the water.

Species change with the season — we chase whatever is biting best across the Pamlico and Neuse.
Speckled Trout
A Pamlico staple — they stack up in the backwaters and hit hard, especially in cooler months.
Red Drum
Reds from slot fish to bull drum in the deeper sound — hard-fighting and always a thrill.
Flounder
Ambush feeders along structure and bottom — a favorite for anglers who like working the edges.
Striped Bass
Seasonal striped bass and the occasional bluefish round out the inshore mixed bag.
Light-tackle inshore
Artificials and live bait worked over grass, structure and moving water — the way these fish want it.
All gear provided
Rods, reels, tackle, bait, fuel, ice and water are on the boat.
Beginner-friendly
Kids, families and first-timers are genuinely welcome. You'll leave knowing more than you came with.
Best ramp that day
We launch wherever the fish and the wind say to launch — Pamlico River, Pamlico Sound or the Neuse.
