Spend the day with Pudd'nHead Charters and see what's biting in Hampstead!

Capt. Adam Child grew up in Southeastern NC and spends much of his time on the water. Much of this time is spent chasing Red Drum along the inshore waters of the Topsail Beach area. Flounder gigging trips are a lot of fun and are a unique way to see a lot of saltwater life under LED lights at night.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

Your trip begins aboard a 21' NauticStar center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Pudd'nHead Charters!

Great fishing trip
3 Hour Trip – Morning on April 11, 20264 adults

Mr. Adam was professional and knowledgeable about fishing. Very nice and helpful 💯. Took my grandson first time on the boat. He was very helpful with him and showing him what to do. He is very honest person about the time when going out of you might not caught anything. but we wanted to go which we did caught some sharks. We had so much fun. I can't wait until the next time we go. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you for your time and fun we had out there.

2 Hour Trip – Late Evening on August 13, 20264 adults

Captain Adam was awesome. We went out on the evening trip with our 2 teenagers and we were not disappointed! Within minutes of the first cast, we had multiple fish on! Kids loved it, we loved that they we were happy. Captain Adam was knowledgeable and super friendly. We will definitely be back again next year!

Great guide!
2 Hour Trip – Late Evening on October 16, 20253 adults

The fishing trip was excellent! The guide is very friendly and a good fisherman. The price for this trip was very reasonable and we caught fish. I would recommend this trip to anyone that's wanting to try something different than a deep sea trip!

Wonderful Evening Cruise!
3 Hour Trip – Late Evening on May 24, 20252 adults

Adam is a really nice guy. I booked a fishing trip, but I wanted to take my girlfriend and her sister on an inland trip they know. They both have lived on Topsail Island, and one still does. Both have lost their spouse to cancer. They both have owned boats and cruised around Topsail Island in the past. I thought it was a good idea for a cruise for the first time in 10 years. Adam has a nice boat and had cushions in the front for the girls. The girls rode in the front and did the sightseeing. Many memories were shared. I appreciate Adam taking us on this cruise. I know it's not a fishing review, but he helped us enjoy some memories
