Procastinator Sportfishing offers affordable, highly customizable charter fishing out of Beaufort, North Carolina, led by Captain John Cawthern, a Coast Guard licensed and fully insured captain specializing in vertical jigging and bottom fishing the Crystal Coast. Captain John grew up fishing, mastering everything from fly fishing for wild trout in mountain streams to trolling for giant bluefin tuna and billfish offshore.

Trips run aboard a 2006 32-foot SeaCraft Master Angler with twin 300 HP Suzuki four-stroke engines, cruising around 40 knots to reach the fishing grounds quickly. The boat carries modern Raymarine electronics, an EPIRB, and full safety gear, along with a large T-Top with enclosure and side curtains for shade and protection from the elements, multiple livewells with on-board oxygen generation, outriggers, and downriggers.

Full-day offshore trolling and vertical jigging trips deliver plenty of action and variety, from trolling for Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and Billfish to jigging up Grouper, Snapper, Giant Trigger Fish, Amberjack, Cobia, and African Pompano from the historic waters off Beaufort Inlet and Cape Lookout, including trolling the famous Big Rock and jigging WWII shipwrecks. The business isn’t a one-size-fits-all charter — trips are customized to each group’s experience, desires, and budget, whether that means running 60 miles offshore for Marlin or staying closer in for Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, or Redfish.

With more than 2,100 Facebook likes and strong word-of-mouth recognition among fellow North Carolina anglers, Procastinator Sportfishing has built a genuinely trusted local reputation over many years in business.
