Why Bald Head Island Is a Great Fishing Destination
There are a number of reasons why Bald Head Island is a great place for fishing. The island provides anglers with access to surf, creek, marsh, river, and offshore fishing. Enjoy easy access to both the Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean, where you can cast your line for a great variety of fish depending on the season.
Depending on the time of year, the waters that surround Bald Head Island are home to a wide array of species. Common ones include red and black drum, flounder, Spanish mackerel, and speckled trout.
Book Your Spot with a Local Charter
One of the best ways to increase your chance of reeling in a big one is by booking your spot with a local Bald Head Island fishing charter. Two of the top options include Impulsive Charters and Oak Island Fishing Charters. Impulsive Charters offers nearshore, offshore, and Gulf Stream trips, and Oak Island Fishing Charters can pick you up directly from the Bald Head Island ferry docks.
Other Types of Fishing to Enjoy
You can cast your line without having to leave dry land. Bald Head Island is a great place to go surf fishing. You have a few different places to cast from.
- Beach areas near creek mouths are great in the early morning or at sunset.
- South Beach access points are convenient for guests staying at our oceanfront rentals.
- East Beach near the Point is known for changing channels and incoming tide action.
- If hoping to catch drum or seasonal Spanish mackerel, head to Cape Fear Point and the Shoals area.
Keep in mind that fishing the incoming tide around sandbars and cuts often produces the best results.
