Frying Pan Tower Trip
If you are looking for a one of a kind fishing/offshore adventure, this is the trip for you! Join us on a two day, one night adventure on board one of our 33' world cat catamarans. This trip includes two days of fishing and a one night stay on the famous Frying Pan Tower. The Frying Pan Tower is a decommissioned coast guard light tower that was built in the early 1960's. It is located 32 miles offshore and provides us a home base that cuts our travel time to the fishing grounds in half every day. Over the last ten years the frying pan tower organization has done a phenomenal job of restoring and protecting the tower. It has all the creature comforts of home including wifi, tv, heat and a/c. The base line overnight tower trip includes 1 full day offshore of Gulfstream Trolling, 1 night stay on the tower and another full day of Gulfstream Bottom Fishing. The cost on this trip is $6500.

restore and protect
It has been the mission of the Frying Pan Tower organization to restore and protect the tower for many years to come. We are fortunate to be the only charter fishing operation that has access to this awesome resource. This trip is for the true outdoorsman or adventurer. It is two days out on the open ocean enjoying everything that the Atlantic and Frying Pan Tower have to offer.
Obviously nothing always goes exactly to plan on the ocean, but we certainly try our best to keep everything on track. A perfect trip would start out at the Ocean Isle Fishing Center at 6:00 am, we would load the boat with all the stuff that you guys bring. From there we will head offshore and spend the first day bottom fishing for grouper, snapper, triggerfish and other bottom dwellers. Around 4:00 in the afternoon we will drop everyone and everything off at the Frying Pan Tower. The second day of your trip we will pick you up around 6:00-7:00am before heading offshore for a day full of gulfstream trolling. We will be targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi and Wahoo. If the trolling bite is slow we can always go bottom fishing again as a back-up. This trip is a truly amazing experience and something that you cannot experience anywhere else in the world.
