Fishing in Kure Beach

Kure Beach, North Carolina, offers exceptional year-round fishing experiences, from its historic pier to offshore adventures. The iconic Kure Beach Fishing Pier—one of the Atlantic Coast's oldest—extends 711 feet into the ocean, providing easy access to species like flounder, red drum, Spanish mackerel, and king mackerel. With amenities including bait shops and rod rentals, it’s ideal for families and anglers of all skill levels.

Inshore waters here thrive with redfish and speckled trout, especially during spring and fall runs. Offshore charters target mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, and sailfish in deeper waters, while artificial reefs like Meares Harris Reef host cobia and other deepwater species. Seasonal shifts ensure dynamic fishing: summer peaks for flounder and inshore action, while fall brings explosive redfish and speckled trout opportunities.

From surf casting to deep-sea expeditions, Kure Beach combines convenience with diverse habitats, making it a top-tier destination for memorable catches.

Everything about our trip was great! The captain and first mate took care of all our needs! We were able to catch fish, relax and learn a ton.

Gary was very knowledgeable and helpful. He knows his stuff. We felt comfortable asking him any fishing question we had. His equipment was top notch and he provided everything. From baits, hooks, sinkers, reels and rods, to showing us where and why to fish in what area, he knew it all. Super nice and a joy to spend the morning with. He allowed us to make the trip exactly what we wanted it to be. Thanks, Gary!

When you can catch your target fish it's a great day! Gary freely shared so much information and I'm glad I jotted down his pointers. He showed us a couple of knots that we will practice and use. Some of the details he shared about bait and bait placement were eye opening. Gary has an extensive knowledge of fishing in the surf and years of experience. He's a great teacher and I'm glad we spent the morning with him. We caught fish, laughed, and learned. You can't beat that.

Captain Michael had us reeling in redfish within 5 of leaving the dock! He was great with our 7 year old and kept all three of our lines baited. We caught flounder, croaker, pinfish, baby black tip sharks, and a bunch of redfish, which he filleted for us to eat that evening. This was our second trip with Michael and we'll be back next year!

We had a great day on the beach! Gary met us at Kure beach and we went in his four wheel drive vehicle onto the driving beach at Fort Fisher. He is very knowledgeable about surf fishing and we caught small sharks and nice whiting/sea mullet! My 14 year old son was with us and Gary was very patient with him and taught him some great surf fishing skills. If you have kids old enough to cast a surf rod, I highly recommend a surf fishing trip with Gary! I will will be back for more!

My son and I had an awesome afternoon with Gary. He took great care of us, providing a range of equipment in great condition and various snacks for the afternoon. While fishing, he shared details with us of how to read the water to gauge channels and relative depth, and instruction on casting, knot tying, different types of bait to use and how best to bait the various hook types. Truly an educational afternoon that my son and I both found very memorable. Highly recommended!

My Grandson and I had a great charter with Michael. Although the fishing was a little tough that day, he wouldn’t quit until he put on some keepers. He was also very patient and kept my 11 year old (very active) grandson entertained. I would highly recommend Michael and Brannin Charter to anyone looking for an affordable and personal trip! Very satisfied customer

Michael is very accommodating and clearly experienced in guiding both seasoned and novice anglers alike. He put us on many opportinues to site cast to reds in less than ideal conditions. The best was having a 25" red blow up on a top water. He's very knowledgeable about the area and can flat find fish. Thanks Michael for a great experience!
