Spring Tide Guide Service Specializes in shallow water angling on the flats, inshore, and nearshore areas of Topsail Island and New River. Captain Ray Brittain has been fishing these waters for 35 years and will go out of his way to accommodate anglers of all skill levels.

Your adventure takes place on a 23’ KenCraft Bay Rider 239 boat that can take up to 6 guests. It’s powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine and uses Garmin GPS and fishfinder for efficient navigation, along with a VHF radio. The boat is equipped with a wireless trolling motor, a livewell, and downriggers.

These waters are known for Cobia, Redfish, Great Barracuda, Flounder, Blacktip Shark, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel, Amberjack, Black Drum, Tarpon, Bonito, Speckled Trout, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing or fly fishing.

Coastal Discovery Adventures runs angling trips out of Surf City and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.
