If you're ready to enjoy fishing in Wilmington, look no further than Wrightsville Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Rennie Clark, one of the top Professional Saltwater Anglers in the country with over 100 Top 10 finishes in Redfish Tournaments nationwide.  Captain Rennie along with his daughter Camille will work with your kids and teach them how to catch fish.

These waters are known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Striped Bass, Flounder, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. During the trip, you might be spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Wrightsville Fishing is a family-friendly charter service offering trips designed to introduce fishing to kids. You can't go wrong when you bring some snacks, a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray).

Your trip begins aboard a 21' Regulator offshore boat that holds up to 6 passengers. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

We have 3 two hour time slots each day.

All I wanted for our trip!
2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids on June 19, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Ren was amazing. He specifically asked what we were looking to get out of it and delivered! We just wanted to fish, which was my birthday wish. We all fished when young with other adults, and Captain Ren was the perfect guide for our level of experience. We caught a ton of fish and even some not so common ones for the spot we were at! He was pleasant, and took his time. We didn’t feel rushed at all. My son loved it, though he lost interest within 30 mins and took over as “co-captain” telling us how to do it and observing. Captain Ren took pictures for us, and was so kind as well as patient. He even spotted dolphins for us and let us watch for several minutes. We would definitely book again!

Thank you for the review Justin! Hope to have your family aboard again in the future!

Kids Fishing Trip
2 Hr – Fishing 101 with the Kids - 10:15 AM on June 15, 20263 adults2 children

Captain Rene and Camille were great with our boys ages (4) and (7). Both of them are great with encouraging the kids to keep trying and how to reel and catch fish. They understood exactly our intent was not to catch the biggest fish, but to give the boys a great experience fishing. Our boys are still talking about our youngest catching 9 fish and our oldest catching a big sea bass. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get out with small kids!
