Fishing in Albemarle Sound

Albemarle Sound is a premier fishing destination spanning over 200,000 acres in northeastern North Carolina, renowned for its diverse inshore fishery and year-round opportunities. This expansive estuary connects to multiple rivers including the Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Chowan, creating rich habitats for both freshwater and saltwater species. Anglers regularly target striped bass, largemouth bass, speckled trout, red drum, flounder, and white perch across its waters.

Seasonal patterns offer dynamic fishing: spring heats up with speckled trout and aggressive striped bass runs; summer delivers abundant bottom feeders like croaker and spot; fall showcases massive striped bass schools and resurgent trout activity. The Sound’s tributaries provide serene light-tackle adventures, while the main body challenges anglers with open-water pursuits. Charter services operate throughout the system, leveraging local expertise to navigate this prolific ecosystem where unpressured waters and ongoing striped bass restoration efforts enhance the experience.

Albemarle Sound Fishing Seasons

January
Escape the January blues with a trip on the productive waters of the Albemarle Sound. Delicious Flounder and Striped Bass will be the order of the day, ensuring a warming meal to look forward to. 
February
Make the most of the quiet seas, if you can, and take a trip offshore to battle it out with Bluefin Tuna. Don’t worry if the weather’s bad, though, as Bluefish join the Flounder and Stripers inshore, too. 
March
Spring has sprung and the fishing is starting to warm up too. Tuna season really takes off and a trip out to the deep waters of the Gulf Stream and beyond will see you filling the boat with some tasty treats.
April
You can feel the season start to kick in as April dawns. Get your practice in for high season as you bottom fish the surf or sound, or troll the offshore waters to land anything from a Flounder to a Wahoo.
May
Mahi Mahi joins the offshore party, giving you an even better chance of landing something delicious to take home from the deep, while the Drum run kicks off inshore, leaving you with a dilemma of where to fish. 
June
There’s no doubt that peak season is upon the Sound, as the bay is crowded with boats. With plenty of fish to go round, there’s no need to worry, and you can even catch a glimpse of a Marlin offshore. 
July
Push yourself to the limit in July as you go after White Marlin, Blue Marlin, and Sailfish offshore. These tough-fighting Billfish will do anything to get off the end of your line, so get ready for the fight of your life. 
August
There’s a reason why Manteo’s Pirate’s Cove Billfish Fishing Tournament is held in August. Head out to the deep and join in the serious fishing as you try to land a trophy-sized catch for big rewards.
September
Go after the last of the pelagics offshore as the season reaches its climax. Monster Kingfish and Spanish Mackerel will offer great angling options just beyond the surf, so come and extend your summer.
October
It’s not over yet! In fact, the inshore fishing is better than ever before. Join the annual Manteo Rotary Inshore Slam and go after Stripers, Flounder, Drum, and Trout as you test your bottom fishing skills.
November
While the weather may be getting colder, the fishing is still red-hot. Hit the shallows of the Albemarle Sound in November and you’ll find plenty of delicious fish to take home for the holiday season.
December
Just because it’s the end of the year, there’s no need to give up on fishing. Fishing the sounds in December is as good as ever, so don’t miss out on the chance to see out the year with a boatful of tasty fish.
