WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR TRIP!
ON THIS PAGE: You will find everything you need to know about your trip such as what to bring, where to park, links to pay your deposit (if applicable), or digital tips!
What to expect : We strive to give our clients the best experience possible. While we fish over 270 days a year to make sure we stay on the fish, IT IS STILL FISHING! We have a great catch rate and will work our hardest every trip. We try to practice as much catch and release as possible, but absolutely do not mind keeping a few for a nice meal. Fish cleaning is available.
What to bring : All of our trips come fully equipped with everything you need to fish. We have all the gear, licenses, safety equipment, ice and bait! We have a large cooler on board for your cold stuff and your catch. Please NO large hard coolers! Just need drinks, snacks, sunscreen (no spray!), glasses, and dress appropriately for rain, cold, or heat!
Where we will meet : Our main launch site is the Wrightsville Beach public boat ramp which we use for the vast majority of trips. If you spoke to the captain and agreed upon a different arrangement, you can find all the locations and directions below!
- Wrightsville beach launch- Use 2 Marina St, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480 to navigate to below the drawbridge! This is an APPROXIMATE address! Continue under the bridge where you will park either along the fence (pay by phone), or in one of the 4 free stalls in directly in front of you next to the boat launch. Text us for more details!
