If you're in the market for a professional, guided, surf fishing experience near North Topsail Beach, look no further than Wild Catch Fishing.

The stunning scenery here includes beautiful beaches, including some spots that only a local can show you.

The name of the game around here is bottom fishing, and that's exactly what you'll do. Joel will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and live bait.

You're welcome to take home any fish that meet size and bag limits. Have a cooler ready in the car! Groups of up to 6 can join these excursions. You'll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so be sure to dress for current weather conditions and bring only as much as you can carry.

Don't hesitate to send Joel a message below with any questions you have, including where to meet on the day of your trip.

Everyone in your group should buy a local fishing license ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. You're encouraged to dress in layers and the proper footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock, rain or shine.

Joel welcomes anglers of all ages on these trips, including kids.

And with that, you're ready to experience the great outdoors in North Topsail Beach. So make it happen, with Wild Catch Fishing!

Great learning
Half-Day Surf Fishing (Night) on April 20, 20252 adults
I had fished from shore before. Joel taught me so much that I did not know. He was open to questions and answered them so I could understand. Coming from a mountain river and lake fishing this was a great experience. I now have tools to be more successful in my fishing adventures.

Joel was great we had and great time trying to suffer out the storm. We will definitely be back when there's not a tropical storm lurking lol.
