I’m always amazed on how these guides can put you on fish in the worst conditions. We traveled to NC in late December for a family getaway which is not ideal for fishing. If your looking to make it a fishing trip, I’d suggest planning dates out with the guide so you can hit the prime time months.

Watch weather and tides, keeping tides low or fishing later in the day as required.. for higher tides stay tight to the reeds,mix up bobber vs bottom rigs.. shrimp and or minnows seem to be the favored bait.

Keep and eye on the weather to ensure you pick the best day for your trip. Bad weather could possibly ruin your trip if it needs to be canceled for client safety. Take plenty of snacks / refreshments depending on how long your trip is. :)

Bring a grill or have one at the rental.
Hydrate extra day before and day of. Have a frozen bottle of water handy it helped keep my head from getting too hot.
Wear comfortable footwear. Rashguard shirt to limit sun exposure.

Be prepared to catch a variety of fish....depending on the time of year it makes a difference in what you are likely to catch and it also depends on how far out you go. For the first time charter or first time fisherman, you may want to consider a half day trip in-shore and then move up to a full day either in-shore or to the gulfstream (off shore). If you are an experienced fisherman, then the gulf stream trip would be my recommendation. Also, consider going with at nice large sportfishing boat (like the Wet N Wild) and the ride will be much better in the event you have some higher swells.

Use fish witch 2 captain Nick and first mate I'm telling you it's worth every penny you pay these guys know where the fish is and you will not find any better people then these two guys they really go above and beyond they really do deliver

Chris Stegall
It's a great area for inshore, nearshore and offshore fishing and there's something to target all year long. If you are really specific on catching one certain species, I'd suggest contacting a charter captain to see when he suggest the best time of year to go out for them.

Morning trips in September produce a little more from what I understand. But we caught some and missed alot on our evening charter. Not used to having bait sucked off the hook being a bass guy from Pa. Lol

I would NOT recommend fishing in August, particularly in the afternoon. The Captain told us that mornings were better on hot days, but the morning wasn't an option for us. If we were to go fishing again at Carolina Beach we would wait until October/November, which the Captain also recommended.

Overall very good experience. We did not have "great" fishing but Captain Mason was very intent on catching and tried various different spots. We did however catch enough to have our family of 8 enjoy a very good fish dinner in the evening. I would definitely recommend this trip for the first-timers coming to Carolina Beach.

Captain Mason had us on the fish for the entire trip. We got about 15 pounds of Red Fish. We also caught Black Drum, White Drum, Sheepshead, Croakers and a Black Tipped Shark. My arm is still a little soar from reeling in those huge Red Fish. Worth the money.

Connect with pros like Tried and True Charters .The Capt and first mate were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They knew their stuff and took us right where we needed to be to catch the fish. Sit back relax and they put you in the perfect position to have a great fishing adventure.

I’m not an experienced fisherman by any means so my best recommendation is hire a professional to take you where the fish are! You can’t go wrong with Captain Randy & 1st Mate Nick with Fish Whistle fishing charter!

CB is a great little beach town. Bracketed by Wilmington and Southport - it's a good place to stay, eat, fish & beach.. or drive 30 mins and explore some of the other local areas. Several very nice golf courses nearby too

Experience helps. If you are a novice @ ocean fishing, don"t expect to catch a lot; [just hook a lot] Summer fishing is always tough. Austin did find fish. From what I heard on the radio, we were having better luck than others

Todd Gilman
Pick a day that doesn't consist of clear skies if any way possible. Cloud cover definitely helps the trout bite.

Dana Stefaniak
We come in October every year to take advantage of the great weather and fishing. We highly recommend the backwater trip if you enjoy the thrill of catching red drum.

Robin Aldridge
go with Captain Bryan Armstrong. He's very friendly very helpful and will do his best to make sure you catch some fish.

Michael Broad
Be prepared for weather, except what you get and make the best of your day on the water. Lots of water and sun block

Dallas Keck
We went in August, not long after a bad storm. Water clarity wasn't the best and we stayed nearshore. Was a fun time but unfortunately didn't catch anything

Amber Fox
Nick was so patient with my kids and wanted to ensure they caught what they wanted. Was teaching my son all aspects of fishing.

Kelly Baron
It was windy that day, the water was a little rough. But we had an absolute blast! We can’t change the weather so we made the best of the day and I’m so glad we did!

Christopher Otka
Fine as long as you don't get sea sick and keep your trip to adults only. Don't expect any deviation or plan B, if you don't happen to catch what they have planned for you.

Michael Dunnington
If you want a knowledgeable captain who knows the waters and keeps track of everyone on board, I highly recommend this one. Mason is the best!!

Pat O’Malley
FishingBooker.com is awesome. The amount of information available and the contact with our Charter and Captain was a huge help. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing.

Katie Bignall
Try it, even if you’re nervous. Trust me it was worth it and the nervousness goes away. I loved it

David Spross
Yes, great first time experience. Recommend doing a 3-hour trip for first timers -- plenty of time to catch plenty of fish.

Jonathan Fisher
Stay hydrated. Take motion sickness pills appropriately along with the bands. Keep spf on and wear spf blocking active shirts.

Eileen Mckay
Bring a small cooler with drinks.
Dramamine may be helpful morning of trip if motion sickness prone.
Plenty of air conditioned space to get out of sun, if needed.

Michael McFarland
Be open, let the captain choose what and where to fish. If you have a specific request- address it at time of booking, not boarding.
