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

If it’s there first time don’t over expect to catch anything guys. It’s fishing people. So if you go and don’t catch what’s expected, it’s not the boat,captain, or equipment. Just go again and try again. Fish aren’t always where you want them to be

Make sure and talk to your captain prior to booking. I couldnt get the captain to talk to me til the night before the trip although i tried for months.

Enjoy! The scenery is beautiful the people are friendly you can't help but to have a great time!

The gulf is where the serious action is. But nearshore was fun for the kids to catch some blues, Bonita, and Spanish mackerel.

I would recommend fishing in May or June. April inshore not very much biting. We caught black sea bass it was good biting.

Go fishing with Captain Jessee Gawlik. He will put you on the fish and show you a good time.

Watch the weather forecasts, if the weather is bad, a great plan will quickly go sour.
