Inshore – Southern Run Fishing Charters

To make the most of your off-shore fishing adventure, be sure to pack:

• Food & Drinks – Bring enough to keep you fueled and hydrated throughout the day.

• Sunscreen – The sun can be strong out on the water, even early in the morning.

• Weather-Appropriate Clothing – Layers are key! Mornings can be cool, and afternoons warm up quickly.

• Cooler Space – You’ll want room to take home your fresh catch!

• Tip for the First Mate – A 15–20% tip is customary and greatly appreciated.

We usually reel in more than enough fish to go around, and one thing’s for sure—you’re in for a fun, memorable day on the water. It’s not often we come back empty-handed!

Southern Run
The Southern Run is a 24-foot Kencraft Bayrider center console tailored for shallow water and backwater exploration, ideal for relaxed inshore trips and family-friendly excursions. Launched in 2016 and powered by a 200 HP Yamaha, she features a center console tower, protective curtains for comfort, and a 36-volt trolling motor to quietly access tight, fish-filled spots. Outfitted with top-shelf electronics, custom gear by Nick Walke and MeatHog Fishing, and full safety equipment, the Southern Run offers a smooth and flexible ride in the calm sounds and creeks of the Outer Banks. Docked at Wanchese Marina, this boat is your ticket to laid-back coastal fishing with big rewards.

Climbing aboard the Southern Run is like slipping into the secret world of the Outer Banks, the one only locals usually know about. With Captain Michael or Captain Greg leading the way, you’ll be guided into quiet, shallow waters teeming with fish, far from the busy marinas and crowded piers. These captains don’t just know where the fish are, they know how to make your day on the water relaxing, fun, and unforgettable.

The Southern Run is perfect for those who want a laid-back but thrilling experience: families with kids, beginners trying fishing for the first time, or anglers who love the challenge of the flats. It’s high-sided and safe, with plenty of room to spread out and cast, and a tower that lets your captain spot fish before they even know you’re there. You’ll chat with your captain before the trip to plan the perfect outing, and if your schedule shifts? No problem, they’ll do their best to accommodate.

This isn’t just fishing, it’s an easygoing, custom-crafted adventure that lets you slow down, soak in the OBX scenery, and reel in fish where few others can go.
