Fall Wahoo, Mahi & Nearshore Action

Fall fishing is in full swing here in Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach North Carolina, and the bite has been absolutely incredible! From nonstop nearshore action to some of the best offshore fishing of the year, October through December is a time you don’t want to miss! ? NEARSHORE (4–8 Hour Trips) The Spanish mackerel are still here in huge numbers, king mackerel are showing up, and we’ve been limiting out on some beautiful trout and catching BIG red drum on our recent trips! There’s plenty of bait moving along the coast, keeping the fish fired up and the rods bent. If you’re looking for a fun, action-packed half-day on the water, now is the time! ? OFFSHORE (8-10 Hour Trips) The offshore bite has been consistently producing! We’re finding quality grouper, big snapper, king mackerel, cobia, and massive schools of migrating baitfish. Fall brings some incredible opportunities to put serious fish in the cooler, and the action just keeps getting better! ? GULF STREAM (12–16 Hour Trips) This is where things get REALLY exciting! We’re consistently seeing wahoo, and the next two months — mid-October through mid-December — offer some of the absolute best Gulf Stream fishing of the entire year. We’re talking screaming reels, big wahoo, mahi-mahi, tuna, snapper, scamp grouper, and the chance to come home with an incredible catch. When the weather cooperates, this is PRIME TIME to head offshore! There’s a reason we love fall fishing in North Carolina. The bait is migrating, the fish are feeding aggressively, the temperatures are cooling down, and some of the year’s best fishing opportunities are happening RIGHT NOW. Whether you’re looking for a quick 4-hour nearshore adventure or an all-day Gulf Stream trip chasing trophy fish, we’d love to get you out there! Don’t let the best fishing season of the year pass you by! Book your trip with Catch and Cruise NC, and let’s make some unforgettable memories on the water! ??
