Catch and Cruise NC – Pursuit 

Fishing is really starting to heat up around Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, and it feels like we’re getting an early taste of the fall bite. Inshore & Nearshore: The inlets have been loaded with fish, especially on the outgoing tides. We’re seeing a strong mix of Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and crevalle jacks. Every time we roll through the jetty on an outgoing tide, birds are working bait being flushed out of the inlet, and there are plenty of fish underneath them. Offshore: There’s a ton of life moving around offshore right now. We’ve been seeing big migrations of bait and predator fish, including running into a large school of red drum while trolling roughly 18 miles offshore. The offshore wrecks, ledges, and nearshore structure are producing a wide variety of fish. Recent trips have produced cobia, black grouper, red drum, and flounder, with plenty of other life showing up around the structure. Everything we’re seeing points toward the early fall fishing season starting to roll in. September is traditionally one of the best months of the year to fish our coast, whether you want to stay nearshore or push offshore. If you want to get out there, send us a message and let’s go put you on some fish. Catch and Cruise NC Wrightsville Beach & Carolina Beach
