Plan Ahead
NC Fishing License
Before you hit the water, don’t forget your NC Fishing License. Except for pier fishing, a license is required for all fishing in North Carolina. Piers are covered by an inclusive license, so you don’t need one to fish on a public fishing pier.
Fishing Reports
Local fishing reports are the best way to know what and where the fish are biting. One of the best reports is the NC Division of Marine Fisheries report. Also, don’t forget to check out the local reports for all the latest info. Good luck on the water!

A little different from fishing from sport fishing boats, kayak fishing takes a lot of balance and skill to keep the kayak upright while reeling in the big one. However, kayaking allows you to explore waters other fishermen could only dream of fishing.Want to try kayak fishing during your Ocean Isle Beach vacation this spring? We have tons of places that can help you get on the water with all the equipment you need, or you can try a guided tour with Summertide Adventure Tours.

At the Ocean Isle Beach Fishing Pier, you can bring your own or rent fishing equipment. Fishing passes can be purchased for daily, weekly, or seasonal fishing.
