Do we keep our fish? How do they get cleaned? What is released back?
We encourage all of our anglers to practice good conservation efforts while being mindful of the regulations that allow for fish to be available for generations to come. All meat fish (Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin) may be kept up to the legal limits based on number of people charter fishing. Located at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, full service fish cleaning is available immediately upon arrival from our charter. Make sure to bring a large empty cooler to take home your cleaned fish. Styrofoam coolers are available for purchase at the fishing center but supplies and cost varies.
All billfish (Marlin and Sailfish) are required to be released. We will do our best to get you pictures for your big catch but the health and safety of these fish is our primary focus.
