Imagine this: it’s a beautiful day, and you’re out at sea surrounded by the sapphire blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. You take some time to drop your line in the water, the sun is bright, and the water is calm. Fishing is a massive part of our coastal communities here in Southeastern North Carolina, acting as both a sport and recreational activity. Plenty of anglers will be out on the water this time of year hoping to catch the diverse variety of fish located off and around our coastline. Regardless if you’re looking to be the next champion or just love being out on the water, Brunswick Forest encourages you to check out these fishing tournaments!
