Junior Lessons

The Junior fishing lesson is a 2.5 hour class that will teach kids everything they need to know to give them the confidence to try fishing on their own. In our 2.5 hour introductory class kids will learn

  • about the equipment you are using (rod, reel, rigs, weights, etc.)

  • safety measures

  • types of bait to use for fishing on BHI

  • The different species of fish on BHI and how to identify them

  • Proper catch and release techniques

  • how to cast net and catch your own bait fish (depending upon how the fish are biting)

Our junior lessons are designed for kids aged 8 and older. No previous experience necessary and we will provide all gear and setup. We will tailor the lesson depending upon the age of the kid. Given hooks are involved, younger kids can watch how to bait a hook instead of being allowed to bait a hook themselves.

We actively monitor weather during all lessons and will move off the beach if lightning strikes within 10 miles of our location. Fish love water and a little rain will not stop the lesson.

Pricing: $65 per kid (up to 3 kids aged 8+). If your child is below the age of 8, adult supervision is required.

**If you are over the age of 16 you are required to have a NC fishing license in order to fish, if you are over 16 without a license you are still welcome to join but are not able to fish.**
