Experience what charter fishing in Hatteras is all about with Captain Aaron on Tightline, a custom 25′ Privateer built for fishing! We leave out of Teach’s Lair Marina located in Hatteras Village and specialize in inshore light-tackle fishing. The Outer Banks is home to some of the best backcountry and flats fishing. If conditions are favorable, we could venture out Hatteras Inlet for inshore and nearshore fishing for cobia, Spanish mackerel, and more, all while creating lifetime memories with every cast.
Channel Bass, locally known as red drum, is the NC State fish and Hatteras holds the WORLD record for the biggest catch at 94 pounds, 2 ounces. Red Drum are a hard fighting fish that are fun to land. Plus, they make for great table fair, a local favorite.
We are proud to announce the IGFA women’s 8 lb line class world record for sheepshead was caught aboard Tightline Charters by Lillian Hackney. Lily has fished with Tightline for many years and is an experienced angler. She landed the monster fish on April 12, 2026. Pretty work Lily!

All Coast Guard required equipment is on-board. Navigation electronics to get us to the secret spots time after time. I have a Jack-Plate to get into the shallower water in chase of our prey.
The Tightline is equipped with professional light tackle fishing rods and reels to include custom IRT Reels. Once we are at the secret spots, we'll use this tackle to start filling the coolers.
My 30 years of experience in fishing all types of game and meat fish has provided me with the knowledge of how quality fishing tackle is needed to fill the box. I have selected IRT Reels and professional quality fishing rods due to their high quality and excellent endurance in this high demand environment.
You are welcome to bring your personal tackle on your trip to the back-country fishing of the shallow flats of the Pamlico Sound or near shore fishing grounds.
