Fresh Kure Beach Fishing Reports

The fall run should start any day now. The beach is in great condition following Hurricane Erin's big swells with lots of new structure. Yesterday's catch showed Spots showing up in good numbers along with some blues. Fishing will only improve from now thru November and into December if it stays warm. ..book your trip today before the calendar get full!

Coastal Life Outfitters. Mid-Atlantic Surf Fishing Academy had a "hot" 3-hour trip (106+ heat index) on the morning of July 26th with Maxwell Sommer! We had steady bites and short strikes all morning and managed to catch a 20 something inch Blacktip doubling up with a big pinfish. This was Maxwell's first saltwater/surf fishing trip. In between bites and re-baitng hooks, we covered a wide range of lessons, including how to read the beach, what to fish for and when, bait, bait prep, rigs, casting, and much more. Max should be ready for a solo trip anytime he wants! The summer is a great time to learn and enjoy the beach ahead of the prime fall season. If you are new to surf fishing, Coastal Life Outfitters LLC's Mid-Atlantic Surf Fishing Academy can help you learn the ropes and increase your odds of catching fish and who knows, you might catch the fish of a lifetime in the process!

The weather finally broke and we were able to catch some fish! Lots of croakers and a couple of de ent sharks on light takle made for a busy morning!

What a fantastic late fall charter at Ft Fisher with Kraig and Carson, marked by a constant supply of 1 to 3.5 lb bluefish that kept us so engaged we didn't even feel the cold! We did get a visit from the tax man but not the one you'd expect. An Osprey tried to rob Carson of a chunky Bluefish...Carson prevailed ! See the video!

Chris and Tim from Durham, NC, packed the cooler today at Ft Fisher. The day started with a reminder of a solemn promise as a rainbow arched across the sky! Booking an all-day charter allowed us to fish both tide cycles and read the beach under changing conditions. While blues caught on cut mullet using Coastal Life Outfitters custom tied bluefish rigs carried the high tide, a couple of nice sea mullet ended the day on the low tide side. Chris increased his casting distance and accuracy throughout the day after a casting lesson. Thank you to 1st Mate Barrett today for helping to set up, tear down, keeping rods freshly baited and assisting with casting and landing a bunch of fish! The weather was beautiful, although an offshore shower gave us a show with a heavy downpour and possible waterspout. Thank you Chris and Tim for booking with Coastal Life Outfitters! I look forward to the night fishing trip we discussed!
