Semi-Private Lessons

Build Confidence, Learn Skills, and Have Fun!

Our Semi-Private surf lesson is a 2.5-hour hands-on experience designed to give kids and their families the confidence and skills they need to start fishing on their own. Perfect for ages 6 and up, this class offers a fun and educational introduction to the world of fishing on Bald Head Island.

What Your Group Will Learn

In this exciting and interactive class, kids will dive into:

  • Fishing Gear Basics: Learn about rods, reels, rigs, weights, and other essential equipment.

  • Safety First: Understand important safety measures for a safe and fun experience.

  • Bait Basics: Discover the types of bait ideal for fishing on BHI.

  • Fish Species: Identify the different fish species on BHI and their unique traits.

  • Catch and Release: Master proper techniques to release fish responsibly.

  • Casting Nets: Learn how to cast nets and catch live bait fish (depending on conditions).

Tailored to Your Group’s Needs

Our lessons are tailored to suit the age and skill level of each participant. While kids aged 8 and older will enjoy full participation, younger kids can observe certain tasks, like baiting hooks, to ensure safety.

All-Inclusive and Beginner-Friendly

No prior experience? No problem! We provide all the gear and setup, making this a stress-free and fun experience for everyone.

Weather Policy

We actively monitor weather conditions to ensure safety. If lightning is detected within 10 miles, we’ll relocate from the beach. A little rain won’t dampen our spirits—fish love water, and so do we!

Pricing

  • $70 per person (up to 3 people aged 6+).

  • If your child is under 8, adult supervision is required.

Important Note

If you’re over 16 and want to fish, you’ll need a North Carolina fishing license. Don’t have one? No worries—you’re welcome to join and participate in other aspects of the lesson. For more information, visit North Carolina Fishing License.
