Action-packed day from the get-go! Summer fishing in Oak Island, NC brought us some great action on the water. I headed out with Brent for a 4-hour inshore trip, launching early in the morning under partly cloudy skies. The threat of rain didn't dampen our spirits as we set out from Fish Factory Road Southeast. Carolina Fly Guy was ready to show Brent some of the best spots Oak Island has to offer. With our gear rigged and ready, we hit a variety of fishing spots, mixing up our techniques to maximize our chances. We started with some surf fishing, then moved on to try our luck from the pier. As the morning progressed, we even hopped in the kayak to access some prime inshore areas. Our efforts paid off with a nice mix of species. Brent landed a 12-inch Spotted Weakfish, which put up a good fight. We also managed to boat an 11-inch Summer Flounder and a scrappy 9-inch Redfish. While not trophy-sized, each catch added to the excitement of the day. The variety of fish really showcased what Oak Island's inshore waters have to offer. Oak Island's diverse fishing grounds never disappoint, whether you're casting from the surf, dropping a line off the pier, or paddling in a kayak. The mix of techniques we used today is typical of how we approach these waters to find the bite. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, despite the rain that eventually moved in. It's days like this that remind me why I love guiding in these waters. If you're thinking about coming out to Oak Island for some fishing, I'd love to show you around. Our 4-Hour Inshore & Nearshore Fishing Trips are perfect for anglers looking to experience the best of what our local waters have to offer. Whether you're after Spotted Weakfish, Summer Flounder, Redfish, or any of the other species that call these waters home, we've got the knowledge and gear to put you on the fish. At Carolina Fly Guy, we specialize in tailoring the experience to what's biting and what you're interested in catching. From surf fishing the beaches to exploring the inshore waters by kayak, we cover it all. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques – I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Had an amazing morning, happy 4th of July.
Morning charter was more productive than the afternoon, but we had a great time all day. Thanks for booking with us 🤙🏼
We had a highly successful day, as both morning and afternoon charters were extremely productive and allowed us to catch some remarkable fish. We went through some water today, and it was a hot one.
The inshore fishing around Oak Island, NC has been productive this week, with several species showing great activity in the local waters. Redfish and Speckled Trout remain the top targets for anglers, with both species being caught regularly in the shallows, especially around Masonboro Island and the Lockwood Folly River. Redfish have been responding well to live shrimp and soft plastics, particularly in the early morning and late evening hours. Anglers are seeing better action near oyster beds and grass flats where the reds are feeding. Flounder fishing is also on the upswing, with some nice keeper-sized fish being caught around the jetties and in the deeper channels. Live minnows and Gulp! baits are proving successful for bottom fishing. For those targeting Spanish Mackerel, the bite has picked up near the mouth of the Cape Fear River, where anglers are seeing increased action trolling small spoons and jigs. Sheepshead have also been frequenting the bridge pilings, with anglers using fiddler crabs to lure these hard-fighting fish. The waters have been slightly warmer this week, and the tides are favorable for inshore fishing along the Oak Island coastline. Weather conditions have been stable, allowing for smooth and enjoyable trips. As we move further into the spring, expect more species to start making their appearance, including Black Drum and Bluefish, adding variety to your fishing experience. As always, make sure to check the tides and water temperatures before heading out for the best chances of a successful catch. For the most up-to-date inshore fishing information, be sure to stay tuned for next week’s Oak Island fishing report!
The past month has been amazing, thanks to everyone who has booked with us so far. Book your Oak Island Fishing Charter Now!

Had an awesome trip with Ashley and Axel — great hosts and made our first time out a memorable one for me and my son. Highly recommend!

Ashley was fantastic—not just a skilled captain, but also on top of everything: re-baiting lines, helping with snags, netting fish, and snapping photos. Hard to beat a day like this on the water!

We had a great time! Ashley was awesome—super helpful and kept us on the fish by moving around when needed. He was especially thoughtful with my 10-year-old grandson and made sure he had fun. We'll definitely book with Carolina Fly Guy again and highly recommend them. Thanks again, Ashley—see you in September!

Ashley was fantastic. I asked him to keep my non-fisherman son and his friend engaged for 3 hours, then give me some time on the fly rod for redfish, flounder, or trout. He delivered on both—responsive from the start, ready at the dock with a bait-filled boat, and helped us land 40+ whiting plus a flounder on the fly. He filleted the catch (except the flounder, which we released since it was out of season) and sent us off with a cooler full of fish. Great guide, great conversation—thanks, Ashley!
