Looking to catch some fish in Winnabow? The Gator Hole Country Store And Tackle is here to make it happen! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jaime can tell you all about them.

Species like Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You'll be dropping lines from a 20' Sea Nymph pontoon with capacity for 4
passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with The Gator Hole Country Store and get hooked!

Unbelievable adventure in the back waters! Captain was beyond helpful and knowledgeable. Put us on fish constantly and gave us a tour of the local dinosaurs 😂 Took home a red and enjoyed the fruit of the day’s adventure. Will for sure be making this a regular trip! Thanks Cap!

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 17, 2025 • 1 adult

Caught a bunch of fish- plenty of bites. Captain was easy to talk to and knows the area well. Spent time in the Town creek and time on the cape fear river. Saw lots of, and a variety of, birds and many gators.

I have been fishing since I was a little kid with my dad. The best part of a trip to me is to see the smiles and excitement of people when they hook into a fish. My favorite fish is any fish that'll bend my rod and make my reel sing.
