The Outer Banks of North Carolina ®

Kristi Midgette Photography Offshore and Inshore Charter Fishing


The Outer Banks is known as "The Billfish Capital of the World," and for good reason. Hundreds of blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish are caught and released in our waters every year. The billfish season is long, with the peak for blue marlin in June and white marlin and sailfish most plentiful in August and September. All are caught consistently from late spring to early fall. In order to preserve the species, most billfish are tagged and released so they can continue to reproduce. Another big draw are yellowfin tuna which are caught year-round here on The Outer Banks.




Visit our What's Hot and When section to see a listing of the fish, anglers can expect to catch and the best time to catch them.
