About the Group

Keep It Coastal

Casting Coastal Kayak Fishing is one of the largest and most active kayak fishing communities in Eastern North Carolina — and we're proud to be their headlining sponsor. What started as a grassroots Facebook group has grown into a full tournament trail, a trout series, monthly group fishing days, pop-up giveaways, and a genuine tight-knit crew that lives for time on the water.

Their 2026 season runs 8 tournaments across Beaufort, Jacksonville, Aurora, Belhaven, Dawson Creek, and Vandemere — covering the best kayak fishing waters the Crystal Coast and inner coastal plain have to offer. Trout, redfish, sheepshead, and black drum are all on the menu depending on the stop. And yes, PFDs are required — our kind of crowd.

Beyond the tournaments, the community gives back. In 2025 alone they donated over $800 to Western North Carolina disaster relief. That's the spirit of the Crystal Coast in action — fish hard, take care of your people.

Gear Up for the Tournament Trail

Ready to Compete?

Tournament kayak fishing demands a seriously rigged boat. Whether you're chasing your first podium finish or gunning for the Trout Series points title, our custom rigging packages are built for exactly this — rod holders, electronics mounts, anchor trolleys, fish finders, battery systems, and everything in between. We know these waters, we know this community, and we'll put together a rig that's ready when the captain's meeting wraps up.
