About Your Trip

On this trip, head out with Captain Devin and take a crack at the wide variety of inshore species that Carolina Beach has to offer! You can try your hand at hooking many different fish, including Bluefish, Grouper, Redfish, Spotted Trout, Weakfish, Black Seabass, and Mackerel—among many others! You'll chase these fish with different techniques, from trolling to jigging to bottomfishing. Captain Devin will point you in the right direction, tackle-wise, and do everything he can to help you reel in a personal best.

He also knows how to put you on the fish fast, so with some luck you'll be hooking up almost as soon as you leave the dock. Everything you need for a successful day is included: rods, reels, bait, tackle, and most importantly, your Captain's expertise.

On the morning of the trip, you'll head out in his custom 26 Barker bay boat, powered by a 400HP Mercury Verado engine. With an impressive top speed of 60 knots, you'll be at the best fishing grounds and secret hot spots before you even know it. The boat is perfect for fishing these inshore and nearshore waters, and includes all the necessary safety gear and navigation electronics needed for a productive trip, as well as a wireless trolling motor for when you need to sneak up on your catch.

All you need to bring is a smile, proper clothing, a hat, and sunscreen—Captain Devin will do the rest!
