Guide Joel runs trips out of North Topsail Beach. These waters are known for Sharks and Redfish and he will show you how to catch them. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Great learning

    Half-Day Surf Fishing (Night)2 adults

    I had fished from shore before. Joel taught me so much that I did not know. He was open to questions and answered them so I could understand. Coming from a mountain river and lake fishing this was a great experience. I now have tools to be more successful in my fishing adventures.

    Reported catch:
    Southern Kingfish
    Response from Captain

    Glad you had a good time and learned something along the way.
