The fishing has been on FIRE!! If you have not been on the water lately, I will catch you up on what has been biting. The
Redfish bite has been awesome from the surf zone to the backwaters of
Swansboro and Emerald Isle. We have been
sightcasting to schools of drum in the hundreds. The best bait has been
Topwaters like
Mirrolures, Top Dag, and
Heddon Zara Spooks. They are also biting
spinnerbaits, gulps, and live baits. This is some of the most exciting fishing you can do. The speckled trout bite has been
extremely slow with the temps being so hot. We have been catching some specks in the marshes but they have been scattered. We should start to see it pick up in the future as the temps start to drop. The fall flounder bite has been pretty consistent. The local inlets are holding good numbers of fish. The flounder are falling for finger mullets rigged on a
Carolina rig. The best bite has been the King
Mackerel. The kings have been feeding heavily along the beaches and the
near shore reefs and wrecks. They will readily take a live
pogey or jig bait. I have been using naked king rigs. The best bait for the 30+ pound fish is a live bluefish. If you would like a great time on the water, book your charter now by calling (910)330-6999 or emailing us at:
