Spend the day with Behind The Island Charters and let them show you what makes the fishing in Oak Island so memorable! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matt knows them forwards and back.
These waters are known for Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families who love fishing together 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 also a good idea so that everyone stays happy and energized!
You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Triton bay boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled water will be available for you, if you forget your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Another awesome excursion with Capt Matt. He is a great guide who takes the time to explain the subtleties of fishing and the how and why you need to know before you can successfully catch fish. He also keeps your expectations reasonable since the fish don’t always cooperate. The best part is his willingness to try different spots during your charter to give you the best chance to catch fish. He clearly loves what he does and you benefit from that commitment. Would book him every time I want to go out on a charter inshore.
Thank you!! I look forward to our next trip!
Captain Matt was awesome! I took my three kids and my dad on the kids fishing trip, and we had a great time. Matt was incredibly patient with the kids and did an excellent job teaching them how to fish. He made sure everyone was involved and having fun throughout the trip. You can tell he genuinely enjoys working with kids and helping them learn. I highly recommend Captain Matt to any family looking for a fun fishing experience. We’ll definitely be booking with him again next year! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank You!! I look forward to seeing you all again.
Cpt Matt was an incredible host, guide and teacher. We caught 3 big BIG fish. He taught us about the local fish, fisherman and local fishing lore. He enthusiastically answered all our questions and shared stories. We had an amazing time. We Will Go Again with Cpt Matt!! Thank you !!!!!
