Fly and Light Tackle Adventures: Topsail, Bald Head, Carolina Beach, and Southport

Fishing Charters Depart from Topsail Island, Bald Head Island, Figure Eight Island,  Carolina Beach, Southport, and Oak Island

*Flats Redfish- Half, Full Day, and Split Full Day Light Tackle or Fly fishing trips departing from Ft. Fisher, Bald Head Island, Southport, and Oak Island. We will pole the open flats, bays,  and   creeks bordering the Cape Fear River. The rich tanin stained waters, offer limitless opportunities for sight fishing Redfish in mere inches of water. Other  species we may encounter include;Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Ladyfish.

*Inshore/Multi-Species - Half, Full Day, and Split Full Day Light Tackle charters departing from Ft. Fisher, Bald Head Island, Topsail Island, Figure Eight Island, Southport, Sneads Ferry, and Oak Island. Mixed bag trips perfect for those who want to sample all the usual inshore species or get their Slam! You will target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Ladyfish,  Black Drum, Bluefish, Sheephead, even Tripletail.

*Tailing Redfish - Half Day Fly and Light Tackle Trips departing from Bald Head Island, Topsail Island, Carolina Beach, Southport, and Oak Island. We will pursue tailing Redfish deep into the marsh, normally miles from open water or the nearest boat. Equal parts hunting and fishing...sight fishing is the name of the game here, and a keen eye to waving tails and splashes often mere feet from the boat  will result in one of the most unique and rewarding angling experiences of your life! NOTE: Trips require proper New and Full Moon tides with only a few select dates available each month April - October. Please call or email to check if your dates coincide with necessary tides.

*Tarpon-   Half Day (early am/evening) trips departing from Southport, Oak Island, Bald Head Island, and Carolina Beach. It may be short, but it's definitely sweet! July through September on the Cape Fear means one thing to me...TARPON! Good numbers of these fish ranging from 60 - 120+ pounds visit the the Cape Fear during their spawning migration. Early am and evening trips make for cooler temperatures and better wind conditions, as we pursue these silver kings on live, artificial, and fly tackle.

*Surf Red Drum - Half Day and Split Full Day trips departing from Topsail Island, Bald Head Island, and Southport. Spring and Fall mean huge schools of Reds from the surf! We will fish from two of the last remaining undeveloped barrier islands on the South Coast. Our early morning and late evening trips in March, April, May, September, and October often result in non-stop action as 10-20 pound Redfish invade the surf by the hundreds.
