NC Inshore Fishing Charters – Topsail, NC
+77NC Inshore Fishing Charters invites you to spend an unforgettable day on the water! Based in Topsail Beach, NC, this charter offers a year-round fishing adventure. Your host and guide for the day is Captain Mike, who’s been catching fish in the area for a long time. He’ll take you to the best spots and do his best to put you on fish. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join.
You’ll be fishing on a 22’ Jones Brothers boat newly built in 2020. This center console accommodates up to 6 anglers and offers enough space for everyone to fish in comfort. She’s powered by a 115 HP Suzuki engine that reaches the speed of 45 knots. Besides navigational electronics, the boat also has a live bait tank and a cooler.
All trips are private, so you’ll have the whole boat to yourselves. The only difference between the trips is how long you’ll stay on the water. You can go after Redfish, Speckled Trout, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Black Drum, and more. You get to keep the catch and the captain will clean it for you free of charge.
All fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. You only need to bring your food, drinks, and sun protection. The trips are family-friendly, so bring your little ones along and let them catch their very first fish.
NC Inshore Fishing Charters welcomes you aboard!

Captain Mike knew the North Topsail area well and was knowledgeable and informative. Everyone landed good sized fish and had a great experience. We look forward to coming back and doing it again.

Half Day Trip on November 2, 2024
Didn’t catch any fish but it wasn’t for a lack of effort. Mike took us to many spots trying to put me on fish to no avail. Weather started out absolutely beautiful and ended with a hard north wind. Mike was on time at the dock, his boat was clean and his equipment was top notch. Mike is very knowledgeable of the North Topsail area. I highly recommend Captain Mike and will be booking another trip with him soon hoping for better luck.

Full Day Trip on April 26, 2025
Went out on a fishing charter today Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything this time, but the experience was still enjoyable. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made the trip worthwhile with good conversation and a great attitude. Sometimes the fish just aren't biting—but the hospitality made up for it.
