Sunrise Fishing Charters is Morehead City, North Carolina’s favorite fishing charter, run by Captain Daniel Brisson aboard the Sunrise II, a 38-foot custom vessel with a long history bottom fishing the local waters. The business was founded by Captain Bobby Freeman, a fishing legend in Morehead City, who sold the business and boat to Captain Daniel upon retirement. Captain Daniel grew up fishing these waters with his grandfather, a passion that led him to buy Sunrise Fishing Charters and continue Bobby’s legacy.
The Sunrise II is a custom-built Desert Isle lobster-boat hull with a 12-foot cockpit, converted into a bottom fishing craft by local boat-builder Keith Otis, comfortably accommodating up to 6 anglers, departing from the Morehead City Waterfront. Captain Daniel specializes in bottom fishing with deep drop electric reels for snapper, grouper, black sea bass, triggerfish, and tilefish, along with trolling for wahoo, tuna, and mahi mahi, and jigging for cobia, tuna, jack, and grouper. Day or nighttime swordfishing is also available, with trip lengths including popular 11-hour and 17-hour offshore options.
Groups from families to seasoned anglers are welcome, with Captain Daniel known for filling coolers on nearly every trip.
For anglers in Morehead City/Atlantic Beach looking for a deep sea or offshore bottom fishing charter with a genuine multi-generational legacy, Sunrise Fishing Charters offers an experienced operation aboard the Sunrise II with Captain Daniel Brisson.
