Morehead City, North Carolina, sits along the vibrant Outer Banks coast, a prime gateway to some of the Southeast’s richest fishing grounds. Here, Reel Faith Fishing Charters offers a hands-on immersion into inshore and offshore fishing adventures guided by Captain Chad, whose reputation for blending deep local knowledge with genuine care sets this operation apart. Whether you’re chasing the hard-fighting sea trout skittering through estuaries or targeting trophy Mahi Mahi farther offshore, this charter service delivers a well-rounded fishing experience.
Reel Faith Fishing Charters focuses on creating memorable days on the water that go beyond the catch. Captain Chad’s approach harmonizes skillful navigation with heartfelt hospitality, welcoming families and anglers of all skill levels to the waters near Morehead City.

The local marine ecosystem shapes every outing here. The nearby Bogue Sound and Atlantic Ocean currents influence fish migration and availability, supporting a diverse fishery ranging from spotted sea trout to snapper and occasional exotic species. This makes the area a dependable choice year-round for anglers. Chad’s commitment to faith and family is evident throughout the trip, lending a unique, respectful rhythm to the day on the ocean—some trips even include personal moments, like memorial ash scattering, handled with care and reverence.
