Hey there, fellow angler! Ready for a fishing adventure that'll light up your night? Our Half Day Night Redfish and Trout Fishing Trip in Morehead City is where it's at. Picture this: you're out on the water as the sun goes down, casting lines under the glow of dock lights. It's peaceful, it's exciting, and man, those fish are biting! Captain Jason knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's itching to show you where the big ones hang out after dark. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, this 4-hour trip is gonna be one for the books.
Alright, let's talk about what you're in for. We kick off as the day winds down, usually around sunset. That's when the magic happens – the water calms, the crowds thin out, and the fish start getting frisky. We'll cruise to some prime spots where the dock lights attract baitfish, and where there's bait, there's always predators. You'll be tossing artificial lures, working them just right to mimic an easy meal for those hungry reds and trout. The best part? When you hook up, you'll feel every head shake and run in the still of the night. It's a rush like no other!
Now, about the gear – we're not messing around with your grandpa's tackle here. We're talking lightweight rods paired with smooth reels, perfect for flicking those lures right where they need to be. And get this – we often use glow-in-the-dark line or add a little glow stick to your line. It's not just for show (though it does look pretty cool). It helps you see where your lure's at and detect those subtle bites. Captain Jason's got all the top-notch gear you need, so don't sweat it if you're not packing your own. He'll show you the ropes on how to work those lures just right – a little twitch here, a pause there, and bam! Fish on!
Let's talk about what's on the end of that line. First up, we've got redfish. These copper-colored beauties are the bulldogs of the inshore world. They'll test your drag and your patience, often making powerful runs right when you think you've got 'em beat. At night, they love to cruise the shallows, looking for an easy meal. When you hook one, hold on tight – they've got a reputation for some serious pull!
Then there's the sea trout, or specks as we like to call 'em. These guys are the ninjas of the night. They're quick, they're sneaky, and man, can they put on a show! Trout have soft mouths, so finesse is key. You might see them explode on your lure right at the surface – it's a sight that'll get your heart racing every time. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the sound of a big trout crushing a topwater lure in the dark. It's enough to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up!
You know, there's something special about night fishing that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the way the water looks like black glass, reflecting the stars above. Or how the world seems to shrink down to just you, the boat, and the fish. It's peaceful out there, but with an undercurrent of excitement – you never know when that next big bite is coming. Plus, let's be honest, there's a certain bragging rights that come with hauling in a monster while everyone else is sleeping. It's fishing for those who want to zag when others zig, you know what I mean?
Alright, let's wrap this up. If you're looking for a fishing trip that's a little different, a little adventurous, and a whole lot of fun, this is it. Captain Jason's got the skills, the spots, and the setup to make your night fishing dreams come true. Whether you're aiming to land your personal best or just want to experience the thrill of fishing under the stars, we've got you covered. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait too long to lock in your date. Give us a call, and let's get you out on the water for a night of fishing you won't forget. Trust me, once you've felt the tug of a big red or trout in the dark, you'll be hooked for life. See you on the water!
Redfish are the bulldogs of the flats - stocky, powerful, and always ready for a fight. You'll spot them by their copper color and black tail spot in shallow water, often with their backs exposed. Most run 28-33 inches, but they can get much bigger offshore. We target them in 1-4 feet of water around oyster bars, grass beds, and mudflats. They'll eat just about anything when they're hungry, but we have the most fun with topwater lures. There's nothing like seeing a big red crash a lure on the surface. Fall is prime time when they school up to spawn. Anglers love reds for their hard pulls and excellent table fare. Here's a tip: if you see them tailing in shallow water, cast well ahead and work your lure slowly past them. Get ready for an epic battle when they strike.

Sea trout are a blast to catch at night. These silvery fish typically run 14-24 inches and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. You'll find them hanging around grass flats and shallow waters after dark, often near dock lights. They love to chase shrimp and small baitfish, so we use artificial lures that mimic their prey. Fall and winter are prime seasons when they school up in deeper channels. Anglers dig sea trout for their mild, flaky white meat - just be careful not to overcook it. One local trick: troll slowly along grass edges if you're having trouble locating them. When you hook one, get ready for some acrobatic jumps and runs. These fish will test your skills, but landing a nice speckled trout under the stars is tough to beat.
