Inshore Light Tackle Fishing

Come experience what charter fishing in Hatteras is all about with Captain Aaron on the powerful Tightline Fishing Charter boat leaving out of Teach’s Lair. Strategically located near Frisco, Buxton, and Avon, we specialize in inshore light tackle fishing in the Outer Banks and Pamlico Sound, home to some of the best back-country and flats fishing. Thrilling catches like red drum await, amidst a variety of species in these rich waters. Setting sail from Teach’s Lair, we explore the shallow grass flats of the Pamlico Sound, and when conditions are favorable, we venture out through Hatteras Inlet for inshore and nearshore fishing. Expect encounters with cobia, Spanish mackerel, and albacore, all while creating lifetime memories with every cast.

Red Drum Reigns Supreme

The Red Drum is the State fish and Hatteras holds the WORLD record for the biggest catch at 94 pounds, 2 ounces. The Red Drum is a hard fighting fish that makes it all worth the catch, and an amazing charter fishing in Hatteras experience. They hung out in the shallow end of the coastal waters of the Carolina coast. Plus, great table fair and a local favorite. Book with Tightline Fishing Charters and Captain Aaron will give you the best chance to catch that monster Red Drum (and hopefully the world record)!

Tightline Fishing
Boat & Gear

Experience elite fishing with our 30+ years expertise aboard an absolutely decked out boat for fishing! Top-notch IRT Reels and rods and expert-led excursions and your fishing guide will take you to the prime spots.

The Tightline Fishing Vessel

The Tightline is a 25′ Privateer V Hull with a 200HP Suzuki engine. You’ll find it provides an exceptionally powerful ride for an exceptional well built boat. It was built in Belhaven, NC, and has a tower to make it easy to find the fish. The boat is also equipped to be fly fishing friendly equipped with popup cleats to eliminating the chance of a snag.

All Coast Guard required equipment is on-board. Navigation electronics to get us to the secret spots time after time. I have a Jack-Plate to get into the shallower water in chase of our prey.

The Gear

The Tightline is equipped with professional light tackle fishing rods and reels to include custom IRT Reels. Once we are at the secret spots, we’ll use this tackle to start filling the coolers.

My 30 years of experience in fishing all types of game and meat fish has provided me with the knowledge of how quality fishing tackle is needed to fill the box. I have selected IRT Reels and professional quality fishing rods due to their high quality and excellent endurance in this high demand environment.

You are welcome to bring your personal tackle on your trip to the back-country fishing of the shallow flats of the Pamlico Sound or near shore fishing grounds.
