Looking for a serious fishing adventure that'll test your skills and give you stories to tell for years? Captain Jeffrey Gaskill's 6-hour cobia charter out of Morehead City is exactly what you need. This isn't just another fishing trip – it's your chance to tangle with one of the most sought-after inshore species along the Crystal Coast.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or bringing the family out for their first real fishing experience, this charter delivers the goods every single time.
Captain Jeffrey runs a tight ship, and that means you'll be fishing with top-quality gear from the moment you step aboard. The 6-hour window gives you plenty of time to work different spots and techniques without feeling rushed – cobia fishing is all about patience and being in the right place when these fish decide to show up. You'll be fishing the productive waters around Morehead City, where the inshore structure and current breaks create perfect cobia habitat. The boat accommodates up to 4 anglers comfortably, so there's plenty of room to fight fish without getting tangled up with your buddies. Captain Jeffrey knows exactly where to find these fish throughout the season, and he's not shy about moving spots if the action slows down. This is hands-on fishing at its best – you'll learn techniques that'll make you a better angler long after the trip ends.
Cobia fishing in Morehead City waters combines two of the most exciting techniques in inshore fishing – sight fishing and live bait presentation. When conditions are right, you'll be scanning the surface for those distinctive brown shadows cruising near structure or following rays. There's nothing quite like spotting a 40-pound cobia and making the perfect cast to intercept its path. Captain Jeffrey keeps a variety of live baits on board, including eels, crabs, and baitfish that cobia can't resist. The gear is perfectly matched for these powerful fish – heavy enough to turn them away from structure, but sensitive enough to feel every head shake and run. You'll be using circle hooks for better hookup ratios and fish safety, plus Captain Jeffrey will coach you through the fight to make sure you land the fish of a lifetime. The waters around Morehead City offer excellent visibility most days, making sight fishing not just possible but downright addictive.
"Captain Jeffrey really made sure we had the best experience on our charter. Not only was he able to put us on the fish, he was also great with our son! I highly recommend Swan Point Charters for anyone who has a love for fishing and the water- you'll have a blast!" - Kirsten
Cobia are the ultimate inshore gamefish, and the waters around Morehead City produce some real bruisers. These fish typically range from 20 to 50 pounds, with the occasional monster pushing 60-plus pounds that'll test every piece of equipment on the boat. Cobia are incredibly curious fish, often approaching the boat to investigate before deciding whether to bite. They're ambush predators that love hanging around structure – channel markers, buoys, and crab pots are all prime cobia real estate. The best fishing typically runs from late April through early October, with peak action happening during the warmer summer months when these fish are most active. What makes cobia so special is their combination of size, strength, and intelligence. They'll make long, powerful runs that'll have your drag screaming, then turn around and try every trick in the book to throw the hook. When you finally get one boatside, you'll understand why anglers travel from all over the country to target these incredible fish. Plus, cobia are fantastic table fare – their firm, white meat rivals any fish in the ocean, making them a true trophy in every sense of the word.
