Excited to cast a line in Wilmington? Then ILM Fishing has a trip with your name on it! Captain Jeffrey will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of sportfishing experience.

The fish in these waters include Redfish, Tarpon, Flounder, Sheepshead, Bull Shark, Blacktip Shark, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and more with any luck. For these species, you're likely to fly fish, spin, or even cast a popping cork using light tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll be casting lines from a 17' Maverick flats boat with space for 2 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Jeffrey will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
