Grandslam Inshore Fishing Charters 

we had another amazing family red fishing trip. Our family comes every fall to Kure Beach and Mason is our go to Guide . This year we caught three very large in slot size red fish for the grill and black drum. He always takes the time to educate you on the best techniques and is as friendly as he is helpful. I would highly recommend him, especially to those that may be first time to the area or charters.

Cpt Porter knows the Cape Fear area incesibly well. he doesnt waste time fishing areas if they’re not eating. he moves on. sometimes several spots in a row and then, “Bam!”. it happens, and that spot yields fish. You cant beat the scenery of the Southport/OKI scenery at the mouth of the Cape Fear. We caught our limit of reds to take home and nice filets nicely prepped by the captain, his razor sharp knife and custom filet board. we caught a 30”+ red to end the day and had 10-12 fish in the boat. I have fished with guides all over and he is a top fisherman and host.

It started out slow thefirst areawe went to it was quiet so Mason move us a little and then BAM I caught 1 -27 in Red Drum and a 26 inch then it ot quiet so we moved to a few more places the last place he tookme too we hit the mother load I caugh 4 hugh Black Drum and big croakers it was funny one of the black drum I hooked his tail Mason said he never saw that before I had a great time Mason was awesome he taught me a lot about using live bait and was very professional im planning on booking again soon I highly recommend

Mason put us fish all day long. Target fish of course was the red fish. Started out putting a hurting on sheep’s head, black drum, and flounder. Unfortunately the season was out for flounder but had it been in we had some nice keepers. Moved on to the red drum. Started out a little slow, then the action picked up. Largest caught was 29 inches which we threw back. We ended the day how we started. I highly recommend Mason with Grandslam Inshore charters. Great captain!!!

October 22, 2026. Day started a bit slow but Mason kept us moving every 15-20 mins if a spot didnt produce. eventually we got to a spot and hooked up on some nice black drum, red drum and flounder! 10/10 would recommend! Very patient and helped us understand where to cast and what to look for!

we wanted to target Reds and thats what we caught. every spot we went to produced fish. Captain Mason was great! We were experienced fishers but he Helped when we needed it but also showed us how to do it. A++++. Helped my 15 yr old catch his first Red. Awesome trip. Expect to catch fish and move when they are not biting. Thank you Captain Mason, great with people and kids. Just bring yourself and a cooler, snacks, and all other details are covered.

Great day on the water. I’m local and wanted to take a visiting friend from Texas out on the water for some Reds. He has fished and hunted all over the world and following the trip as we walked off the boat my friend said”Keep his number”. Mason knows some great spots. We caught our limit and even had to throw one back as it was too big! Great day, professional and courteous Captain. Thank you Mason.

Third time my grandson and I went out with GrandSlam Charter. Have caught lots of fish each time. Nice red drum and one croaker! Mason is very patient and instructive with the boy. He has a great and memorable trip each time. Will be frying up fresh redfish for dinner tonight! We will definitely be doing this again in the fall. Highly recommended!!

We had a great day on the water and Captain Mason was a great host. We tried several fishing spots to try and catch fish, but it was early in the season, April 3rd, and the fish weren't biting. However, Captain Mason moved from one spot to another, every 15-20 minutes to give us a chance. The last cast of the day, we caught a Black Drum. Technically, it wasn't the last cast because Captain Mason extended our trip an additional 20 minutes hoping that one Drum meant that there might be more. Sadly, it wasn't a school of Drum, just the one. Anyone who has fished knows that there will be days like these. We enjoyed it even with one catch for the day. I would book again with Captain Mason and would recommend him to anyone else who is looking for a charter from Carolina Beach. We had 3 people in our group, and that felt like a comfortable amount for the size of the boat and not crossing fishing lines.

we took our 3 kids on their first fishing charter. Mason was great with them and they all caught fish. definitely would book this charter again
