Bug-Em-Bait Company and Captain Lloyd Eastlack have close personal and professional relationships with some of the best charter boat Captains in Wrightsville and Carolina beaches. Whether it’s fishing for redfish, flounder or trout inshore, or Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, and mahi mahi offshore, or even the big bruisers, wahoo, tuna and billfish in the gulfstream, we will be able to connect you with the captains that have the know-how to make your fishing adventure one to remember.

Each year, Bug-Em-Bait Company puts on its well known and recognized "Down East Hands-On Fishing School".

The school is geared to provide valuable assistance to both the novice and the experienced angler.
