WILMINGTON FLY FISHING — CAPE FEAR COAST
Lost Dog Guide Service offers fly and light tackle fishing charters around Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Join Captain Jake aboard an Edisto Boatworks technical poling skiff to sight fish for red drum in the shallow creeks, bays, and marshes of the Cape Fear coast. We fish with flies and artificial lures, moving with the tides rather than anchoring with live bait. Trips welcome up to two anglers, with patient guidance for beginners and experienced anglers alike. Choose a four-, six-, or eight-hour trip and connect directly with Captain Jake to plan your day.
Our focus year-round is red drum. Explore the inshore waters of the Cape Fear coast with fly or light tackle, from shallow flats to winding tidal creeks. Accurate casts and teamwork make sight fishing rewarding, and Captain Jake is happy to help you learn. Launch locations vary with wind, tides, and weather. Confirm your meeting point with Captain Jake before traveling to the ramp.
