As a reminder, all people aged 16 years and older are required to have a valid fishing license to fish in North Carolina waters. Fishing licenses can be purchased from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission website or from a local tackle shop or outdoor retailer that serves as a wildlife service agent.

Please note: All children must have adult supervision at all times during this program. Please no smoking/vaping, no pets, and no drones.
