Make an adventure out of your next trip to Bald Head Island and go fishing with Falling Tide Fishing Adventures. With Captain Zane at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Flounder, Redfish, and anything else that bites.
On the day of your trip, you’re likely to use light tackle. Capt. Zane also offers fly fishing. Any fish you catch are yours to keep, provided they’re legal to keep.
Your fishing machine for the day is a 21 goot sea born bay boat holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.
Capt. Zane will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
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. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Trips with Falling Tide Fishing Adventures are open to the whole family, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
You can’t go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Falling Tide Fishing Adventures is just a click away.

Half Day Trip – (AM)
We chartered Capt Zane with Falling Tide Fishing Adventures while vacationing on Bald Head for spring break. He picked up us at the BHI marina for half day of inshore fishing. We had 2 adults and 2 kids in our party, and the kids stole the show! 4 nice redfish and 2 black drum. The wind was howling which made the day a little tricky but Capt Zane was a pro at the helm returning us safely. A great day was had by all and I would absolutely book Zane again. In fact we are going to book him as soon as the tarpon show up around BHI.

My nephew, sister, and I had a great fishing trip with Capt. Zane. He is a great fishing guide. He is very nice and courteous. He also gives excellent tips to make one a better angler. This is my first time fishing with Capt. Zane, and I definitely will repeat a trip wth him next summer. In a half-day, we caught all together 12 fish (a mix of blue fish, sheepshead, and speckled sea trout). It was great fun. Thank you Capt. Zane!

Zane was fantastic with our crew. We had one that loved to fish and Zane answered all his questions. One that had never caught fish but got so many today! We took the fish home and even got a lesson on the best ceviche. Thank you for an amazing family adventure that made memories for years to come. My favorite part? Outrunning the storm clouds at the end. My family can’t stop talking about the day!

Captain Zane is the best, he put us on some huge redfish and even called his buddy who owns a restaurant to cook it for us. Highly recommend.
