THE CAPTAIN

Local knowledge from a seasoned guide

Capt. Richard Pollitzer — known to guests as “Rico” — brings decades of Beaufort County experience and tailors each trip to guest goals, aiming to maximize time on productive water and leave anglers happy at day’s end.

THE TARGETS

A wide, table‑worthy catch list

The charter targets a range of bottom and near‑bottom species — Cobia, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Sea Bass, Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish and Spadefish — with occasional opportunities for Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Sailfish and other pelagics.

THE METHOD

Live bait and bottom‑fishing in blue water

This outing emphasizes live‑bait techniques and bottom fishing, running offshore to deeper, blue‑water marks where those approaches are most productive.
