Come aboard with Capt. Matt, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, popping, and spinning.  We will be looking for King Mackerel, Dolphin, Cobia, Black Drum, Bluefish, and Grouper, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Whether you are after some great eating fish or just want to battle Sharks, there is a trip for you. Capt. Ryan will take you fishing the nearshore waters up to 10 miles out so that you won’t lose sight of the shore.

Take Up The Slack Guide Service runs angling trips out of Oak Island and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Your trip will start on a 26ft center console that runs on twin 150HP Yamaha engines. The boat has got enough space to sit 4 anglers, uses modern GPS and fishfinder technology for navigation, and is equipped with a livewell to supply you with live bait. You will also have an ice box so you can store fish and drinks.
