Catherine Anne Sportfishing and Excursions
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!

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!
had a great time fishing with you guys again! thank you for choosing us to fish with!
Captain Steele was very accommodating and  personable. He not only put us on fish but explained things around us like the pelicans and other birds that he used to help find and locate fish. It was a great experience to add to our vacation.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to take you guys fishing. i really wish the fishing had been better for you guys!
We had a fantastic girls trip out on the water with Captain Steele! He knew exactly where to catch the fish and even put us right on top of the shark for our best chance to catch one! 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!!
April, thank you for trusting us with your trip, while the fishing was a bit slow for our standards, I am so pleased you had so much fun! I look forward to fishing with you guys in the future.
Captain Steel is a great. He entertained 4 teenage boys, catching fish, showing them the electronics, and teaching them how to take the Spanish mackerel off the hook. I would highly recommend this charter and Captain Steel.
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.
Thank you so much Kevin. the struggle was real today. I really appreciate you guys fishing with me again. Hopefully next time, we can get on the bite that you guys deserve!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I grew up on the water. In my early teenage years I went offshore for the first time and was literally hooked. In 2008 I started charter fishing and fell in love with taking people out on the ocean to enjoy all there is to offer. Whether fishing inshore, nearshore or offshore chasing big game, every day is different and exciting. I captain our 36ft Revenge custom center console which is our primary charter boat in Southport and Bald Head Island
