About Your Guide

Bryan Armstrong

Captain Bryan has spent more than 20 years fishing the waters around Wilmington, Carolina Beach, and Oak Island. What started as a childhood passion eventually became a profession, allowing him to spend his days doing what he loves most—helping others catch fish and enjoy everything the North Carolina coast has to offer.

Known for his laid-back approach and local knowledge, Captain Bryan enjoys working with anglers of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced fishermen looking to learn new techniques. His goal is to provide a fun, productive, and educational experience while sharing the fishery he has spent decades learning.

Over the years, he has developed a strong understanding of seasonal fish movements, local structure, and the techniques that consistently produce fish throughout the year. Whether targeting Redfish in the marshes, Trout along grass lines, or Sheepshead around structure, he works hard to put anglers in the best possible position for success.

About Your Trip

Spend the day exploring the productive inshore waters surrounding Carolina Beach, Wilmington, and Oak Island with Captain Bryan. These trips are designed for anglers of all experience levels and offer the opportunity to target some of the most popular inshore species found along the North Carolina coast.

Depending on the season and conditions, you'll have the chance to target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Tripletail, and other seasonal species. Captain Bryan
adjusts locations and techniques throughout the day to take advantage of current conditions and maximize opportunities on the water.

Fishing techniques may include live bait fishing, light tackle casting, spinning, jigging, popping, and bottom fishing depending on the target species and time of year. Captain Bryan particularly enjoys live bait fishing during the warmer months and transitioning to artificial presentations during the cooler seasons.

You'll fish aboard a 20' Sea Pro bay boat built to comfortably access shallow backwaters, marshes, flats, nearshore structure, reefs, and wrecks. The boat is equipped with modern electronics, a live bait well, and everything needed for a productive day on the water.

All rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, and fishing licenses are included. If available, live bait will be prepared before the trip at no additional cost. At the end of the day, Captain Bryan will gladly clean and fillet your catch so it's ready for the table.

These trips are family-friendly, and kids are always welcome aboard. Whether you're looking to catch your first Redfish, put together a fresh fish dinner, or simply spend a relaxing day on the water, Captain Bryan is ready to help make it happen.
