We had a very windy day and therefore had to stay in the waterway. The ocean was too rough to venture out. The captain certainly made the right call to keep us in calmer water. We caught a some keepers and the group certainly enjoyed themselves. Hopefully next time weather will be better and we can get on the ocean to catch some bigger fish. That said, we were very happy with what we caught.

Just let the Captain know ahead of time if you have any questions and or requests. We had such a great experience. We did bring some cooling towels and snacks and drinks that helped with heat. Although we were lucky the breeze helped and having an air-conditioned cabin was great! We also took Bonine the day before and 1 hr prior to the charter. No one got seasick.

Variety of fish species available in the area this time of year. Boat and crew very flexible and knowledgeable adapting to these different species as the day goes on depending on the bite. We had success while other boats in the area had some struggles getting fish, would recommend and rebook myself in the future.

Do some research on the do’s and don’ts ahead of time and ask questions of your captain if you have them. Don’t get disappointed if things start a little slow, it will pick up and the captains know how to find the fish. They of course can’t always get them to come up and get hooked.

Don’t think there’s a bad time to be at Carolina Beach (except maybe a hurricane but that might be debate able). We caught a boat load of fish, a wide variety, and the water wasn’t too rough for the kids.

Watch weather and tides, keeping tides low or fishing later in the day as required.. for higher tides stay tight to the reeds,mix up bobber vs bottom rigs.. shrimp and or minnows seem to be the favored bait.

Pick a day that doesn't consist of clear skies if any way possible. Cloud cover definitely helps the trout bite.

We come in October every year to take advantage of the great weather and fishing. We highly recommend the backwater trip if you enjoy the thrill of catching red drum.
