From Wrightsville Beach to Topsail Island and beyond, you'll venture offshore to target various species. Join us for a fun-filled family trip, as we catch fish and create unforgettable memories!

On our journey, we'll be aboard the "Linda K", a spacious 33 ft Contender Tournament center console. With ample room for all passengers to fish simultaneously, Linda K is equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, fishing tackle, and safety gear. Powered by reliable twin 300 Yamaha engines, we'll reach the fishing grounds quickly, maximizing your time on the water. Children aged 5 and older are welcome onboard as well.

Depending on the chosen trip, we'll engage in trolling and/or bottom fishing. Inshore bottom fishing targets species like Porgy, Triggerfish, Grouper, and Black Seabass.

We'll also drift or bottom fish over reefs and wrecks, targeting species like Amberjack. With diverse fishing grounds off the coast of Willmington and Hampstead, there's something for every angler.
