What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Carolina Beach, North Carolina for the first time?

It was windy that day, the water was a little rough. But we had an absolute blast! We can’t change the weather so we made the best of the day and I’m so glad we did!

Fine as long as you don't get sea sick and keep your trip to adults only. Don't expect any deviation or plan B, if you don't happen to catch what they have planned for you.

If you want a knowledgeable captain who knows the waters and keeps track of everyone on board, I highly recommend this one. Mason is the best!!

FishingBooker.com is awesome. The amount of information available and the contact with our Charter and Captain was a huge help. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing.

Try it, even if you’re nervous. Trust me it was worth it and the nervousness goes away. I loved it

Yes, great first time experience. Recommend doing a 3-hour trip for first timers -- plenty of time to catch plenty of fish.

Stay hydrated. Take motion sickness pills appropriately along with the bands. Keep spf on and wear spf blocking active shirts.

Bring a small cooler with drinks. Dramamine may be helpful morning of trip if motion sickness prone. Plenty of air conditioned space to get out of sun, if needed.

Be open, let the captain choose what and where to fish. If you have a specific request- address it at time of booking, not boarding.

We actually fished closer to Wilmington, which is Captain's preference this time of year. It was a great choice.

Wear added layers of clothing this time of year! The weather swings 30-40 degrees each day and on the water with wind can catch you by surprise!

Bring warm clothing and rain gear during the winter months...even when it is supposed to be in the 60s.

Book with Reel Teal if you are interested in a charter. Captain Tony is great! Even though fishing conditions weren’t very good, we came home with enough catch for a fine meal.

Contact captain Mason for a great day on the water and also check out the Musicman he will put you on fish also!

Be ready for a busy day of fishing. I landed around 30 fish of varying species on my 4 hour trip. The fish are definitely out there and a quality guide is key to getting you on them.

Watch for the weather breaks, we were two days after a hurricane Idalia, inshore the water was still very murky, offshore was beautiful.

Go with Capt Tony if you want a super great fishing g experience with a super local guy! Reel Teal charters was a blast thanks again for the adventure:)

The water is warm and the weather is fickle. Getting a bite is tough but the fishing is still a lot of fun.

Make sure you take food and water for the trip. The boat was nice enough to give us some water. When we ran out as it was a very hot day. The fishing was great.

Yes, it was my first near shore fishing trip and I brought back plenty of fish for multiple dinners.

The ocean was amazing with how smooth it was. Be sure to check the wind forecast. Trolling to us was not exactly "fishing", but it was still fun.

Plan for unpredictable weather. June in Carolina is a gamble. It’s usually hot, but you really really need to bring layers.

Carolina Beach is much more relaxed and family oriented. Easier to navigate, less crime/traffic. We love the area overall, not just for fishing.

Review parking opportunities prior to booking date. City parking system is not necessarily intuitive.

Keep your expectations wide open, because there are so many different species to target, depending on the time of year.

The water was rough and cold, so not much moving around the beginning of April. I would recommend a warmer time of year!

While we were hoping to go outside. In July, It may be a better expectation to fish closer to shore.

I would highly recommend using Cpt. Dave and Let's Roll Charters. I have been on a few charters and were as enjoyable as his was.

This was our first time and Fishing Booker was very convenient and helpful. Carolina Beach is a great jump off location. We would definitely go through them again .

Check out the great time with your family fishing off the coast with a seasoned ship's crew. I'm ready to go again.
