Beach Bum Fishing offers year-round light tackle fishing on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, out of Oregon Inlet, led by Captain Reese. The business specializes in live bait and casting trips, with morning, afternoon/evening, and full-day options available 7 days a week. As the site puts it plainly: this isn’t a glorified boat ride where catching fish comes secondary to entertaining tourists — it’s a year-round, full-time job, and the goal is genuinely to put guests on fish.

Target species span Rockfish, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Speckled Trout, Gray Trout, Weakfish, Red Drum, Flounder, Puppy Drum, Black Drum, Cobia, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, and Sheepshead, fishing the backwater, inshore, and sound areas around Oregon Inlet.

Guest reviews are consistently glowing, with reviewers describing Captain Reese putting groups on double-digit numbers of slot drum and black sea bass even in rough, windy conditions, and working hard to find fish for first-time or out-of-practice anglers, including memorable family trips.

For anglers of any experience level near Oregon Inlet looking for a hardworking, results-focused light tackle fishing charter, Beach Bum Fishing offers a highly reviewed operation with Captain Reese.
