What a fantastic late fall charter at Ft Fisher with Kraig and Carson, marked by a constant supply of 1 to 3.5 lb bluefish that kept us so engaged we didn't even feel the cold! We did get a visit from the tax man but not the one you'd expect. An Osprey tried to rob Carson of a chunky Bluefish...Carson prevailed ! See the video!

Chris and Tim from Durham, NC, packed the cooler today at Ft Fisher. The day started with a reminder of a solemn promise as a rainbow arched across the sky! Booking an all-day charter allowed us to fish both tide cycles and read the beach under changing conditions. While blues caught on cut mullet using Coastal Life Outfitters custom tied bluefish rigs carried the high tide, a couple of nice sea mullet ended the day on the low tide side. Chris increased his casting distance and accuracy throughout the day after a casting lesson. Thank you to 1st Mate Barrett today for helping to set up, tear down, keeping rods freshly baited and assisting with casting and landing a bunch of fish! The weather was beautiful, although an offshore shower gave us a show with a heavy downpour and possible waterspout. Thank you Chris and Tim for booking with Coastal Life Outfitters! I look forward to the night fishing trip we discussed!

You have you find balance! This weekend is set aside to celebrate 27 happy year's with the love if my life! Today we celebrated with a day in the beach fishing! The weather was perfect and the fish were biting! Happy Anniversary Sue!

Another great charter with repeat customers Donna and Gary and a new friend Bob. We blistered the bluefish and managed a few pompano, flounder and sea mullet! Thanks again for booking with Coastal Life Outfitters! Book with us now, the fish are biting!

While we didn't exactly set the bar for fish caught, we had a great day teaching learning and making new friends. We did snag some pompano. Also, there is no better complement than seeing your morning charter group back out on the beach, putting into practice the things covered in the morning session! Thanks again for booking with Coastal Life Outfitters!

A few weeks ago, I received an inquiry for helping 10 or 11 guys get ready for thier annual trip to Topsail. Normally I limit charters to 4 people. I'm glad we continued to correspond and work something out. Drew booked a charter for THURSDAY Oct 10. The aftermath of Hurricane Milton slipped in some tropical storm winds that day so we rescheduled for Friday Morning. There was an entirely different ocean than the day before! The water was still running fast but we managed a pompano or 2 (and a big stick fish) and were able to share basic skills in beach reading, rigs, bait, gear and other tips that would help the gang to be successful on their own for the rest of the weekend. Thank you to the Drew Crew for booking with Coastal Life Outfitters! What a great bunch of guys!
