Big Mahi and Bigger Smiles off Carolina Beach!
What a day on the water with Gypsy Dawn Charters! The bite was solid, and our anglers stayed busy reeling in Mahi all morning. The highlight of the trip? One young angler landed the biggest Mahi of the day — and he’s so tall we couldn’t even fit him and the fish in the same picture! It was one of those moments that sums up what we love most about fishing in Carolina Beach — great catches, good laughs, and memories that last long after the boat’s back at the dock. The offshore action continues to heat up, with more Mahi showing up along the current lines. If you’re ready to get in on the fun, now’s the time to book your Carolina Beach fishing charter with Gypsy Dawn Charters. Whether you’re chasing big game or just looking for a day of family fishing, we’ve got the perfect trip waiting for you.

We definitely wouldn’t have minded catching more fish, but the mackerel we did land were absolutely delicious. The crew was fantastic, the trip was a blast, and everyone had a great time!
October 28, 2025
From the moment we arrived, the captain kept us well-informed about the potential bad weather, providing constant updates and clear communication. Despite the choppy conditions, the boat ride was smooth, and both the captain and first mate shared a wealth of fishing knowledge—it was an absolute blast learning from them! I can't recommend this crew enough. Their communication is top-notch, and they truly made the time on the water unforgettable. Huge thanks to the whole team!
