The community of Topsail Island, North Carolina, offers some nice fishing opportunities in the marsh flats or out on the sea. So when you’re in the neighborhood be sure to contact Carolina Flats Fishing. Captain Adam Wallace will show you around, so you can have a fun fishing session and luckily you will bag some fresh fish.

You’ll be cruising the coastal waters on board a 22ft Pathfinder , which can accommodate groups of up to 5 guests per trip.

This charter covers inshore and nearshore locations along with wrecks and flats hotspots. Whenever you arrive to coastal North Carolina you can encounter Black Drum or Spotted Seatrout, as they bite all year round. Depending on the season you might also catch Redfish and delicious Sheepshead. When it comes to fishing techniques you can test your skill with light tackle, bottom fishing, and trolling, among others.

Families with kids will be glad to know that children are allowed. You don’t have to worry about special preparations for the trip as all the fishing gear, lure, and baits will be waiting for you on board. What’s more, the charter covers your North Carolina fishing license. If you get lucky you can keep your catch. However, if you get a big one, the crew will kindly advise you to release it so you can help their breeding.

Have a wonderful trip and we hope to see you out there!
