Catherine Anne Sportfishing and Excursions invites you to experience the stunning waters of Southport. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Steele knows them forwards and back.

Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Gag Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Seabass, Cobia, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Steele can also show you kite fishing.

Kids are absolutely welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Child-sized life vests are available. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks and anything specific you may want to drink, the boat provides water to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Capt. Steele operates a 36' Revenge custom center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. This amazing boat is one of the largest, fastest and best equipped boats in our area which equates to more fishing time and comfort on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Certain trips are run with the help of a First Mate. The Captain and Mate work hard to make your trip count, so a 15–20% tip is customary.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Catherine Anne Sportfishing and Excursions!

3 man Limit on Jacks in 20min!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 5, 20264 adults
Had a bit of a rough week weather wise for fishing but Captain Steele was all over it. Called an audible on the fishing location the morning of our trip. After filling the bait wells with one throw of the cast net we headed to the fishing grounds. Within 20 minutes we had our limit of 30-40lb Amberjacks. We were worn out. We could have continued in that spot reeling in (and releasing) many times our limit but elected to go off in search of some other species. Within minutes of reaching the 2nd location we had a mahi on the boat. Great trip. Captain Steele is a hard working captain who knows his stuff and knows how to read the situation with wind and recent weather to put you on the fish. we had a great time. Thanks Captain Steele!
Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

June fishing trip
6 Hour Trip – Offshore - 1:00 PM on June 8, 20262 adults
We had a great experience with Captain Steele. We didn’t catch the fish we were hoping for but Captain Steele tried everything. The fish were there but they just wouldn’t bite. I would like to say he was the friendliest captain. We will book him again. just be prepared to have a good time.

The 4 hour trip was perfect and the boat is beautiful! Outstanding outfit- will use Catherine Anne any time we’re in Southport! All details are taken care of, super easy, fun and exciting trip!!

Tough day on the pond.
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 6, 20264 adults
The fish didn’t want to bite today. We had to work for the fish that we brought home, but that’s fishing. Captain Steele put us on-top of fish, but for whatever reason they weren’t interested. Caught fish today that I’ve never caught (False Albicore and Needle fish) before.. Also we caught Red Snapper, Sea Bass, Red Vermillion Snapper and shark.
