Hook, Line & Paddle Canoe & Kayak Outfitters is one of the largest fishing kayak dealers in North Carolina. As the sport of kayak fishing grows in popularity, so does the store’s large stock of fishing kayaks, rods, reels and tackle. Join the store’s professional guides for a five-hour guided fishing tour in the marshes and inlets of Wrightsville Beach, where you’re bound to catch red fish, flounder, trout, blue fish and Spanish mackerel. In addition to kayak fishing gear, the store also sells recreational kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards and Flatstalkers and all the latest accessories from top brands like Native Watercraft, Heritage and Wilderness Systems. If you're not ready to take the plunge and purchase your own equipment, you can rent kayaks through the store, at their Wrightsville Beach location (across from the Blockade-Runner Beach Resort) and at the Yacht Club on Figure Eight Island. If after you rent, you get hooked and want to buy, as an added incentive, Hook, Line & Paddle will refund the cost of your rental toward a purchase. Not only can you get the right gear, but you can also book a tour at the shop or receive instruction from one of the store's master teachers. One of their most popular tours is the Dawson's Creek Tour, a three-hour excursion visiting the Wrightsville Beach house featured in the series. They also sell custom kayak fishing outfitting and Yakima roof racks, with free installations with purchase. The store is open every day from 10 AM to 6 PM.
