From the shoals of Hatteras you push offshore toward the Gulf Stream aboard the F/V Bite Me, a 51-foot Carolina Sportfisherman. The day is a single, focused arc—transit at a rapid 24-knot cruise that prioritizes fishing time, a full day of Gulf Stream angling, and a return at dusk. Licenses, bait, ice and tackle are handled by the crew; anglers only need to bring a lunch and drinks.

THE VESSEL

51-Foot Comfort and Speed

The F/V Bite Me is a 51-foot Carolina Sportfisherman built in Manteo by Captain Buddy Cannady. With Caterpillar turbo diesel power, generator and heat and air conditioning, the boat is set up to get you quickly to the fishing grounds and keep the day comfortable.

THE FISHING

Full-Day Gulf Stream Action

This is a full-day private Gulf Stream charter designed to maximize time on the bite: a 10-hour outing for up to six people where licenses, bait, ice and tackle are provided so you can focus on fishing.

THE LOGISTICS

Simple Prep, Full-Day Commitment

The charter is private for up to six people; guests should pack their own lunch and may BYOB in their cooler. The vessel’s speed—24 knots—means more daylight spent fishing rather than steaming.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

You board the F/V Bite Me in Hatteras and, after a brief departure, punch through to the Gulf Stream at a 24-knot cruise. The transit is deliberately brisk to preserve the charter’s 10-hour fishing window; once on the grounds the day is about rod work, bait and tackle provided by the crew, and the steady rhythm of offshore fishing before a return to port.
