Redfish Fishing in North Carolina

A day of Redfish action in North Carolina's inshore waters. Red drums are in these waters year-round, but the best inshore fishing begins in late May and continues through fall.

Black Drum and Sheepshead Fishing, NC

Black Drum and Sheepshead are biting in the waters today. These species spend their lives in the bays, sounds, and inlets of North Carolina's coast. We often found them hanging around inshore structures such as docks, jetties, piers, and seawalls. Join us if you want to experience chasing these pretty gamefish!

We were scheduled for a 4 hour trip inshore and Addison had us out nearly 8 until we got hooked into a big redfish. As good as man as you can ask to have on your boat.

I had a great Charter with Captain Addison. He took the time to customize the trip and was a true pleasure to fish with. We did very well on redfish which was the target species. His boat was very clean with all the modern electronics as well. Great guide, great scenery and great fishing. Highly recommend!

Captain Addision went above and beyond to make our fishing trip successful and memorable! He is one of the hardest working guides out there when it comes to providing his clients with opportunities to catch fish. Addision is very knowledgeable about the local area and clearly communicated different fishing techniques for our target species - we learned so much! To top it off, he is incredibly kind and passionate which made our trip even more enjoyable. We will definitely book with Captain Addison again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to charter a fishing trip in the area!
