Fly & Light Tackle Fishing the Cape Fear Coast ~Wilmington, NC

What trip is right for me?

    
Half day ~ 4 hour trips are designed for anglers of all skill levels who either are on a budget or simply have time constraints on their day. A lot can be accomplished with four hours of on the water time with a professional guide. This can be ideal for solo anglers. Catch some fish, improve your casting and learn some new tips and techniques. Water and light snacks are provided.

     Three Quarter day ~ 6 hour trips allow anglers the opportunity to fish an ample amount of time and not feel the pressure of the clock ticking. These trips also allow for a wider range of fishing opportunities, conditions and the ability to cover more water more effectively. This time frame often allows for multi species pursuits in peak months in a single day. Lunch, soft drinks and water are provided.

     Full day ~ 8 hour trips are designed with the serious saltwater anglers in mind. Consider this if you plan on splitting time on the bow with a friend or just enjoy a non stop fishing adventure with little limitations on your time and day. Full day trips allow us to explore a lot of water, fish all phases of the tide and often times catch more than one species of fish in a day. Consider a full day on the water in peak season and maximize your eperience by catching more fish and seeing more situations. There simply is no substitute for time on the water with a rod in your hand. Lunch, soft drinks and water provided.

*All equipment and tackle is provided on the day of your trip. If you would like to bring your own equipment talk to your guide to make sure the line and rod weight will match that of your quarry. All trips are limited to (2) anglers.
