About
Half Day (5 Hours) – Shallow Water Adventure
Step aboard my poling skiff and let’s chase fish the way they’re meant to be caught, up close, sight-casting in skinny water! We’ll spend five hours exploring the creeks, grass flats, and backwaters of Topsail Island, hunting redfish and other shallow-water species with fly or light tackle.
Only one angler fishes at a time so I can pole and position you for the perfect shot, while your buddy kicks back on the cooler with a cold drink, camera, and front-row seat to the action. Expect clear water, tailing fish, and that heart-pounding moment when you see the eat.
All gear, tackle, and good vibes are included, just bring your shades, sunscreen, and sense of adventure.

Guided by Salt Sessions Fishing & Surf Adventures
Topsail Island, North Topsail Beach, NC, USA • 10-19 years of experience
Welcome! My name is KC Burns, I have been a licensed Captain and full time guide since 2016, With over two decades combined experience chasing fish and waves along saltwater coastlines, I’ve built my life around the tides. My passion for the saltwater runs deep, from sight casting to redfish on the fly in quiet, glassy creeks to gliding down clean, waist high peelers at sunrise.
As a licensed captain, I specialize in technical saltwater fly and light tackle fishing, focusing on shallow water redfish where every cast feels like a hunt. When conditions line up, I also trade the skiff for a surfboard, offering private surf lessons tailored to all skill levels. Whether you’re brand new or looking to refine your technique, I’ll guide you to the best breaks around Topsail Island and share the local insight only years on the water can bring.
I take pride in crafting experiences that are personal, relaxed, and rooted in respect for the coast. My goal is simple... to share the rhythm, challenge, and beauty of these waters in a way that leaves you feeling connected, confident, and stoked long after the day is done.
Hope you will join me for your next adventure.
