Coastal Discovery Adventures
Coastal Discovery Adventures
Coastal Discovery Adventures runs angling trips out of Surf City and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.
Capt. Woody aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like light tackle trolling and spinning. You’re looking at 4-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Flounder, King Mackerel, Redfish, and Little Tunny, depending on the weather and time of year.
You’ll be fishing from a 21’ Coastal Skiffs boat with enough room for up to 5 anglers at any single time. All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.
You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Coastal Discovery Adventures.

1/2 Day Trip – Inshore
Enjoyable day out
Fishing was a little slow. It’s July. But the weather provided a beautiful morning and we had a great time overall. I learned a lot more than I expected about inshore fishing. locations, species, and how to catch. We did catch one keeper drum, a croaker, puffer, small sea bass, and a random lizard fish., A fun time we will definitely come back some time to fish with Captain Woody in the Fall.

1/2 Day Trip – Inshore
Wonder experience!
My wife and I booked a 4 hr trip with the best captain, Captain Woody. He knew where the fish were. We caught several Drum one over the slot limit 28”. Caught a Stingray and a couple Flounder which we had to release. He said the fishing was slow and stayed out longer than expected. Loved the sound, water was calm. We were very blessed to have spent such a wonderful day!
