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

This was our first time and Fishing Booker was very convenient and helpful. Carolina Beach is a great jump off location. We would definitely go through them again .

Check out the great time with your family fishing off the coast with a seasoned ship's crew. I'm ready to go again.

Ray will welcome you onto his boat if it's the first time you have fished or if you are a seasoned expert.

4 hour trips stay close to shore. Expect blues and potentially spanish mackerel. Weather can be a potential issue. We had a great trip. Many blues and a few spanish mackerel.

Definitely talk to the locals and the baitshops in the area. Don't be skittish to ask for help or tips. Knowledge is power.

Captain snow will provide everything you need for a good day of fishing. All you need to take and something to eat, dress for the weather, and don't forget the motion sickness pills.

Keep an open mind about what you catch. There are no guarantees. Hope for calm seas.

We fished in late April and there were lots of opportunities for multiple species.

The real story getting out of your circle, Atlantic ocean such a beautiful sight to see

If experienced be specific what you want to catch. Otherwise trust the captain and boat.

Use a guide and team who is experienced and knowledgeable. We did, and it was awesome!

The fish are there, you just have to go after them. Prepare for your trip, and stay hydrated.

It was our first . one member was sick most of the trip so plan ahead and take your meds

A shorter trip, 4-6 hours- especially if you have kids! We had an awesome time.
