Welcome to Backlash / Short Rigger Sportfishing, Pirates Cove Fishing Charters.
Get ready to start your Pirates Cove fishing charter by catching Blue fin, Big eye and Yellow fin Tuna depending on the season.
Winter months bring the Big Blue fin to the coastal waters off NC., while Spring brings the Big eye and Yellow fins.
Whichever you choose you can bet that the Short Rigger will put you on the fish!
Put a fighting belt on or catch your prize Tuna in our Murry Brothers fighting chair.
Once the fish box is full Capt Steve will get you safely back to Pirates Cove Marina where you will take pictures with your fish and have a Professional fish cleaner take care of your fish.
The Short Rigger Is a 57’ Bobby Sullivan Custom Carolina Sportfisherman that cruises to the fishing grounds at 30 knots. She is loaded with all the latest and greatest equipment and tackle, including a Stereo System and TV.
When you arrive at the boat you will find plenty of space for your food and drink, we have loads of refrigeration and ice onboard to accommodate your needs.
Find a comfy place to take a nap on the way out either in the salon or on the 2 companionway bunks located mid ship for the utmost comfort.
If staying outside to watch the beautiful sunrise is your thing, enjoy the raised mezzanine seating in the cockpit.
