Welcome to No Excuses Fishing Charters.

We’re a year round fishing charter service, based in Wilmington, NC, specializing in light tackle saltwater trips around Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Topsail Island, Figure Eight Island, and the Cape Fear River.

No Excuses’ Captain Mike Pedersen is USCG licensed with over 30 years fishing experience he’ll put to work for you.  No cookie cutter charters here.  He listens to your interests, considers each angler’s skill level, the day’s conditions, and the fish that are running to personally design a fishing charter that’s tailored to you. 

No Excuses’ versatility means you have lots of fishing options. We can fish the inshore waters for a variety of fish, such as Red Drum, Speckled Trout, and Flounder.  Or, we can venture out and fish the deeper waters and artificial reefs for Blues, Spanish, Kings, Sharks and more! Can’t decide?  No worries.  We can do a combination of both.

At No Excuses we believe there’s no better way to spend your time than fishing.  In addition to being fully insured, our boat and equipment are of the highest quality to make certain you have a safe and memorable fishing experience.

The fish are biting, so call us to book a

customized charter for you!
