Fresh North Carolina Fishing Reports

Despite the crazy weather over the past few weeks. Fall time fishing is in full swing! We're seeing big schools of Spanish, blues, and bonita's up on the beach with some nice kings mixed in. Offshore bottom fishjng is really great from the seabass, trigger fish, grunts, and so much more! We're seeing alot of king offshore with alot of ajs mixed in. Wahoo and tuna bait in the Gulfstream is in fire right now! Great time of year to get offshore and fill some fish boxes!

As we hit mid-October, the local fishing scene is really coming alive. Here’s what you need to know: Inshore and Nearshore Updates: • Bait Situation: You’ll notice mullet starting to thin out, especially on the ocean side. In the rivers, you’ll still find a few, but as a substitute, live shrimp is your go-to bait right now. • Speckled Trout: The speckled trout run is in full swing inside the jetties. It’s a fantastic time to target them, and using live shrimp is really paying off. If you can get out past the jetty, you’ll also find some great trout spots offshore. • Mackerel and Kingfish: Spanish mackerel are still hanging around, and kingfish will be nearshore for the next month or so. Offshore and Gulf Stream: • Wahoo and Tuna Action: The Gulf Stream is heating up, literally. It’s extremely hot with wahoo and tuna action really picking up. As we move deeper into the cooler months, trolling is only going to get better as that warmth consolidates and the fish stay active. Final Tips: Overall, it’s shaping up to be a great season ahead. Just keep an eye on the weather, as your targeting options will depend on those good weather days. But right now, things look fantastic, especially for those speckled trout inshore.

With the shorter days and cooler nights, has the inshore fishing on fire! We're seeing alot of red fish moving around with some nice trout. The black drum are starting to move in and school up, late fall and winter is always my favorite time for sheephead! Still seeing some alot nice flounder but unfortunately they are out of season! Great time of year to enjoy some great inshore action!

Had a wonderful family today that wanted to go out on a 4-Hour trip and catch some fish and luckily just before the storms come in we were able to do that

We had a great 6-hour trip we're able to pick up some big blue fish and then move around and catch some Kings

A fun full day trip!
