Katfish Kayak And Fishing Adventures, Llc
Katfish Kayak And Fishing Adventures have a simple motto: If you don't want someone to bring the fish to you, let them take you to the fish. They offer traditional fishing charters but also provide a mothership for Kayak fishermen. They can take you to those places you always wanted to fish which are just too far to paddle to.
Captain Phillip Loughlin welcomes you aboard his 23' Parker boat. This cuddy cabin is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine that can reach a maximum speed of 35 knots. This means you will reach your fishing spots very fast and save traveling time. If you choose to fish from the boat, the crew can accommodate up to 4 guests. However, if you want to go kayak fishing, there's enough room for 3 anglers.
When it comes to kayak fishing trips, note that this charter offers only mothership service but not the kayaks. You need to bring your own kayak, board the mothership with it, and let the crew take you where you want to go. As kayak trips are not guided, you need to be an experienced kayak angler, able to handle your boat and your gear in open-water conditions.
The boat typically leaves from the NC Wildlife Boat Ramp in Hampstead. However, the crew can pick you up from nearby waterfront locations. Depending on the season and which fishing grounds you choose, your main targets will be King Mackerel, Redfish, Flounder, Cobia, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, and Mahi Mahi.
Captain Philip will prepare your rods, reels, lures, and live bait (when available). Make sure to purchase your fishing license before the trip and bring food and drinks you like. Also, if you're going on a kayak trip, you'll need to bring your own fishing equipment.
The best solution would be to get in touch with the captain before the trip and check what you need to bring.
Save your paddling energy for fishing and finally reach those fishing spots that were always too far for the kayak! Katfish Kayak And Fishing Adventures can customize each trip, you only need to say when.

Decided to pack up the family and head to the coast for a well deserved weekend away. We enjoyed all Wilmington had to offer and on a whim decided we wanted to fish, and not from the pier. Looked around for a bit and was able to find Captain Phillip with Katfish kayak and fishing adventures. It was a last minute decision and I was so thankful when our reservation was accepted. Captain Phillip was able to accommodate our timing needs and even rescheduled when he noticed the weather was going to shift. We were able to get out on the water for the perfect day. The fish were biting and the sun was shining. Captain Phillip knew his stuff and was very friendly and informative. We will definitely book with him again for a longer trip. For our first time on a private vessel it was exceptional. Thank you for the memories!
Heya, Amanda, thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you guys had fun, and that you had the flexibility to work around that line of storms. It came together nicely with calm seas and some hungry fish!
We caught two good sized mahi mahi, Seven Spanish mackerel, and two sharks. Phillip new the area really well and was great fun on the water. We had a great time and can’t wait to go again.
Thanks, James! You guys were great, and your attitudes couldn't be beat... even when we had some challenges, like the unexpectedly rough seas. I'm glad the fish were cooperative, and that Jay got his mahi!
Captain Phillip was easy to communicate with prior to our trip for planning details and logistics. Our captain said our trip was a bit slower than expected. We were able to boat a few fish. One keeper mahi and a giant barracuda being the highlights. Captain could have ended the trip and ran home but he decided to extend it and try for spanish mackerel. We did manage to land 8 keepers along with a blue. We had a great time and were very pleased with our experience. Captain Phillip worked very hard to put us on fish. We will return to fish with Captain Phillip.
Captain Phillip Loughlin made this trip super fun for my family, the kids enjoyed it, we caught quite a few fish and had an amazing time. Loved the Captains humor and his thorough knowledge of the area and fishing. Will definitely go fishing with his company again!
Thanks, Misty! You guys were great to have aboard, and really happy to have been a part of your young man's birthday celebration! I hope his special dinner includes some fresh Spanish mackerel. I look forward to having you aboard again!
the weather was perfect! Captain Phillip was amazing! highly recommend booking with him
Thanks for the kind words, Stephanie! I hope the birthday boy enjoyed the rest of his trip! Looking forward to seeing you again, next time you're down!
