Topsail Fishin Charters has a trip with your name on it along the stunning waters of Topsail Beach. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Stewart knows them forwards and back.

Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Gag Grouper, Black Seabass, Grunt, Mahi Mahi, Great Barracuda, Cobia, Bonito, Little Tunny (False Albacore), Flounder, Amberjack, and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions. Based on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Stewart believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to let them know. Also remember to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Capt. Stewart welcomes you aboard a 35' Sportfishing that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, two fighting chairs, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 15-25% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! 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 recommended 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.

Now, come aboard with Topsail Fishin Charters and get hooked!

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on August 9, 20264 adults2 children

We took our grandkids out for their very first fishing trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Capt. Stewart and mate Jackson were absolutely unbelievable. From the minute we got on the boat, they made the kids the priority. They were patient, encouraging, and made sure the grandkids were involved in everything. And most importantly — they put us on the fish! The kids caught plenty and had an absolute blast. As grandparents, you hope their first trip is something they’ll remember for years. Capt. Stewart and Jackson went above and beyond to make sure it was exactly that. Great crew, plenty of fish, happy grandkids, and memories our family will never forget. If you’re looking to take your kids or grandkids fishing, especially for their first trip, this is the crew I’d recommend. Five stars all the way!

My Happy Place!
8 hr offshore on July 2, 20264 adults

We came from PA. I love l fishing off shore and consider that my Happy place. I found this charter online. I had a great time. The captain and first mate were friendly and knowledgeable. Being from PA we fish off NJ, NY and rarely the chesapeak bay. Being a female angler has led to some annoying men treating me like a child. they were great. The captain told me his mother got him into fishing so seeing female anglers makes him enthusiastic. i felt he took the time to evaluate our parties various skill and support each of us at our levels. my nephew got sea sick & They were terrific with him. I highly recommend. 10/10 will use again.
