Book your next trip with Reel Em’ Up Charters and find out what you’re missing in Oak Island. Captain Steven will be your guide, which means you’ll tap into years of professional experience.

Striped Bass, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Tarpon, Mahi Mahi, Flounder, Black Seabass, Speckled Trout, Kingfish, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 25’ Bay boat that holds up to 4 passengers. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle!

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don’t forget to bring snacks, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Reel Em’ Up Charters.

Captain Steven’s Charters Delivers Outstanding Redfish Action and Kid-Friendly Adventure
3 hr Inshore. (PM) on July 24, 20252 adults1 child
We had an absolutely fantastic day on the water with Captain Steven’s fishing charter service. The redfish were biting like crazy - we landed over a number beautiful reds including our limit of slot-size keepers. But what really made this trip special was watching Captain Steven work his magic with our 9 y/o daughter. He was incredibly patient, helping bait hooks, coaching her through her first fish fights, and celebrating every catch like it was a trophy winner. Would highly recommend for experienced anglers, novices and families alike.

Took my daughter, son, and his girlfriend for a half day trip. Told Stephen to take us where they’re biting and needed something for dinner. Caught several Redfish and a few others. Very knowledgeable on the water and put us in the right spot to have a great time!

Steven was amazing with the kids (13, 12, and 10)! He kept us out of the rain and on fish the whole trip (PM). Could not have asked for a nicer and more knowledgeable captain. Thanks Steven!! We’ll hit you up next time we’re in the area!
