Liquid Fire Sportfishing offers nearshore, Crystal Coast, and Gulf Stream fishing charters out of Swansboro and Beaufort, North Carolina, led by Captain Josh Henderson. The business was born out of the Henderson family’s tournament fishing background as the Liquid Fire Fishing Team, competing in 20+ annual events since 2005 — a competitive foundation that led Josh to leave a management career and pursue fishing full-time.
Charters depart from Bogue Inlet in Swansboro up through Beaufort Inlet in Beaufort, covering the Crystal Coast, a top year-round fishing destination. Nearshore charters target Flounder, Red Drum, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Gag Grouper, and Black Sea Bass using live bait and bottom fishing techniques. Crystal Coast half-day, 3/4-day, and full-day charters add King Mackerel, Dolphin, Amberjack, Barracuda, Shark, Black Bass, and Grouper to the mix. Gulf Stream full-day trips push offshore for pelagic species like Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna.
The business maintains active fishing reports both from the boat and in a dedicated blog, keeping guests updated on current conditions throughout the season.
For anglers along the Crystal Coast looking for an affordable, flexible fishing charter backed by real tournament credentials, Liquid Fire Sportfishing offers a well-rounded operation with Captain Josh Henderson.
