Redfish bite is ?

November 13, 2023

Amelia and her dad got it done doubling up on reds. Lost count on how many. Most of the reds were upper slot fish and were all released. Had such a great trip with these too anglers making memories. ? Good times and tight lines!

The redfish bite is hot right now. We are using cut pinfish, live pinfish, shrimp and artificial baits. Fishing points and rocky shores near the mangrove islands.

Surf City & TopSail Island Fishing!!!

October 12, 2023

The fishing in NC as the water temp drops continues to fire up! Surf City inshore fishing has been fantastic in the creeks and fingers, TopSail Island has been equally as productive. Not only that but every day we are throwing artificial and fly only and still “limiting” on fish. There is nothing quite like throwing a soft plastic and getting busted by a slot redfish or 20”+ flounder. If you want to catch some incredible inshore action October is the month!

The season is here

For scalloping, be patient. Sometimes it was 10 minutes between when we saw scallops, but then you might find a few back to back!

Be aware of lots of other boats if snorkeling. Let your guide teach you how to spot scallops if scalloping.

Redfish, snook, and speckled trout are thick in these waters this time of year as well many other species, get yourself hooked up with Captain James Floyd of Floyd Family Outfitters to put you on them and have a great trip!

It's fishing. Some days fish bite better than others. The variety of fish in the same area is amazing.

Check the tidal charts. Captain Bryan can help with that. Water level can get your boat into more areas where fish hide and wait for their prey. That translates to good fishing.

Don't always go with the BEST RATINGS... Communicate A LOT with the Captain that you choose.. Tell them what you expect... give them information of your crew and come to an understanding so you can all have a great fishing experience !!!

The fishing here is pretty good all year around...but if you're looking for stud reds or snook, wait until the heat of fall...September/October is off the hook!

Fish Hunter Tours would be our recommendation for first timers. Captain Bryan builds a quick rapport with his clients. Gives GREAT instructions on how to handle whatever species you on.
