Spend the day with Salty Reels Fishing and get hooked on fishing in North Topsail Beach!
These waters are known for Amberjack, Skipjack, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Redfish, Black Seabass, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Gray Triggerfish, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! You'll target your catch by popping, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Trips with Salty Reels Fishing are kid-friendly, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to keep their stamina going!
Your vessel for the day is a 24' Pro-Line center console with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.
Salty Reels Fishing will make it easy for you to go fishing in North Topsail Beach. So, how about booking that trip?

Special 6 hour trip for Jason Kenyon
Went on a offshore fishing trip with Captain Brian and first mate Zach on tuesday October 21st Boat and gear where perfect for tge species targeted. The crew spelled out expectations ahead of time so we know what to expect. caught a great variety and high quality of fish. The captain never stopped moving around to find fish or active fish and better quality fish. took time to point out the local wildlife to us. dolphins. turtles and talk about the area. both captain and mate are very knowledgeable and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we where comfortable and happy. Thanks again Captain Brian and mate Zach. had a excellent day on the water with both of you.

Half Day Trip – Nearshore
This was our first time fishing with Captain Brian and it was my kids’ first fishing charter. We got a little unlucky with the choppiness of the ocean but we all had an amazing time and we can’t get to do it again when we’re in town next year. Huge shout out to Captain Brian but also Zach, the first mate. He was awesome with my 12yr old son the whole trip. Thanks again guys!!

Half Day Trip – Nearshore
As an experienced inland fisherman, our trip with Captain Mike fishing off the coast was fantastic. Mike was professional, informative, polite, honest, respectful and appreciative. He gave a 100% effort to make sure we enjoyed the trip and caught fish. Captain Mike and his First Mate Zack were great with the 3 boys ages 13, 10, and 7. The boat was clean, comfortable, and comfortably fished the 5 of us. We highly recommend Captain Mike and hope to fish with him in the future. Thanks again guys.

The captain was very professional and personable. He put us on some of the biggest fish I have ever caught on the east coast. I fish all over the United States and this one was memorable for sure.
