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

If you want to catch fish in June, we highly recommend going offshore. With a skilled captain and a good boat, you can load up on Kings and Spanish. However, most fishing charters offer inland and near shore fishing that can still be productive and fun.

Find a good guide to teach you where and with what equipment to catch the fish species you prefer.

Book with Conjured Up Fishing. I'm looking forward to next October. I want to see how the fishing is without a recent hurricane. Still caught a lot of fish.

Take a charter or hire a captain to run your boat. You'll save a ton of money going with someone who knows the area.

When I asked what would truly be the best time to fish here the response was cooler months so it would seem September/October might yield a better catch. But, it's fun any time!

Great trip...but it was hot! Slather up in sunscreen and bring plenty of water...and beer. :)
