Explore the waters around Carolina Beach in North Carolina and have a great fishing experience with Grandslam Inshore Fishing Charters. Explore inshore waters, rivers, or flats for many different species while enjoying the beautiful natural sights this area offers. Captain Mason Porter will be your host and he'll do everything to make your trip the best possible.

Your journey starts on a 23' Carolina Skiff boat that can accommodate up to 6 anglers. It runs on a 115 HP Yamaha engine with a maximum speed of 40 knots and uses quality GPS and fishfinder systems for safe navigation. There's an onboard livewell you can use to store your fish and drinks throughout the trip.

You'll do your fishing with light tackle, and will have the chance to try your skills at bottom fishing, spinning, jigging, as well as popping. You can keep all the fish you catch and take it home so you can enjoy delicious meals. Alternatively, you can just return it back to the water. Remember that the boat's kid-friendly, so feel free to bring them as well and have even more fun on your trip.

All the fishing gear will be waiting for you when you arrive on the boat. Captain Mason provides you with rods, reels, tackle, as well as live bait and lures. You don't have to worry about fishing licenses either, because he's got you covered for that as well. The only thing you should bring before you depart is a cooler with some drinks and snacks or lunch in case you get hungry.

Book yourself a sea adventure with Grandslam Inshore Fishing Charters and spend a day full of fishing excitement surrounded by beautiful nature.

Great trip!

Half Day Trip on May 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

We had an awesome experience fishing with Captain Mason and would absolutely book again. From the start, he was friendly, professional, and very attentive to everyone on the boat. He took the time to explain things, answer questions, and make sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to fishing and knowing the local waters.

What really stood out was how hard he worked to keep us on fish. He was constantly paying attention to conditions, moving when needed, and making sure we had the best chance possible to catch something. Thankfully, it paid off because we caught fish and had a great time doing it. He was patient, encouraging, and genuinely seemed to enjoy helping everyone have a successful trip.

The entire experience felt relaxed, organized, and fun from beginning to end. Whether you are experienced or completely new to fishing, Captain Mason makes the trip enjoyable and stress free. We left with great memories, some great catches, and already talked about booking another trip in the future. Highly recommend Captain Mason to anyone looking for a great fishing charter experience.

Captain Mason was great. The weather was great. Fish weren't biting.

Half Day Trip on April 3, 2026 • 3 adults

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.

3/4 Day Trip on July 2, 2025 • 2 adults

He caught bait for the day before our 7a mtg time and met us 30 mins south on Oak Island where we were staying. We worked for fish the majority of the day on some great looking spots catching 6-8 fish, first trout of the season and some keeper reds. We never stayed on a spot longer than 20 mins if the bite was slow. We actually ran out of bait  with 45 mins or so left in our trip so we made a bait run close by netting 20 or so mini-mullet to fish the last spot. It was a spot we’d fished an hour or so before but the tide started moving a little heavier. We returned and smoked 7 dandy reds in the last 20-30 mins of our trip. I have fished all over the south with guides for 35 yrs and Mason is at the top of the list. Great trip.  A+ hard-workin’ guide right here!
