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 โ€“ 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 โ€” 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?

Top-Tier Coastal Fishing Experience with a Captain Who Truly Delivers
Half Day Trip โ€“ Offshore on April 7, 2026 โ€ข 3 adults

Brian absolutely exceeded every expectation for our fishing trip. As someone who grew up around the coast and loves being out on the ocean, I can confidently say this was one of the best experiences Iโ€™ve had. From the moment we stepped on the boat, it felt like we were out fishing with a longtime friend rather than just a captain. He was incredibly attentiveโ€”constantly making sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable at all times. He took the time to educate us on the fish, the environment, and the ocean itself, which made the experience even more meaningful. He also checked in with us throughout the trip without ever being overbearingโ€”just the right balance of professionalism and personality. Brian clearly takes a lot of pride in what he does, and it shows in every detail. This is someone who truly cares about his clients having a great experience. We will absolutely be booking with him againโ€”100% recommend.

Reported catch:

We had an amazing experience with Captain Brian and Becky on our offshore fishing charter! From start to finish, they were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. They were professional, patient, and went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. The boat was well-kept, the fishing was exciting, and they worked hard to make sure we had the best possible experience on the water.

Half Day Trip โ€“ Offshore on June 10, 2026 โ€ข 5 adults

I would highly recommend Salty Reels Fishing. Captain Brian knows the area and took us out to the hot spots where we caught over five different species of fish. We were able to catch over 20 fish in four hours. Including two sharks! We definitely caught our dinner ! He was friendly accommodating and highly intelligent to the area!

The Real Deal!
3/4 Day Trip โ€“ Offshore on November 1, 2025 โ€ข 4 adults

From booking the reservation to the delivery, yes they delivered our incresible catch of the day, excluding the Shark the boys pulled in, to our location after a fantastic day on the water. Started out the day a little chilly, was close to being a loonng day on the boat , cold, but the weather panned out, water was fairly smooth and if I havenโ€™t mentioned the Been Bags, made the ride so easy. 2 of us were on the Ocean for the first time and felt safe the entire time, fell asleep on the ride in! The Bags were a hit! Captain Brian and his Mate Zack are entertaing for sure but their knowledge of their craft, of the fish, the stories.!! To say the least we will be booking with these guys for next year! Tony, Deborah Joel,Lesli ๐Ÿ˜Š

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
