August 23 Fishing Report

The drum (redfish) bite continues to be strong with good numbers of fish along the ICW walls and bays behind the barrier islands. We have been landing middle to over slot fish in live mullets and shrimp on carolina rigs. The have also been falling for topwaters and scented soft plastics. We have also been finding a few nice keeper flounder around all the inshore structure the flounder bit seems to have cooled a bit. We are still landing good fish on mullets on carolina rigs and 1/2oz bucktail jigs. The good news is the speckled trout have started to bit again. We have picked up some nice 2-3 lb fish on live mullets and shrimp.

The nearshore bite continues to be slow with a few big spanish left to keep things interesting. The king mackerel bite is just about non existent.

August 17 Fishing Report.

Inshore fishing remains good. Good numbers of reds are being found in all the Crystal Coast backwaters with most fish falling for live finger mullets and shrimp. We are also landing a few fish on topwaters and scented soft plastics. Along with the reds the flounder bite continues to produce good numbers of keeper fish along all the internal structure. Flounder have been falling for live mullets on carolina rigs. We have also seen a little push of speckled trout in our area. Most in the 1-2lb range with the occasional 3-4lb fish mixed in. The specks have also been falling for live mullets but we have also been landing a few on MR 17 or Catch 2000 by MirroLure.

The King and spanish mackerel bite has cooled quite a bit with some fish still being found on the nearshore structure. The amber jacks have been chewing pretty good along with a few Cobia.

The tides have come around and so have the Redfish. We have been landing good numbers of fish in and out of the slot. Most fish have been falling for live mullets and shrimp but we also have landed a few on topwaters and spinnerbaits. The flounder bite continues to be consistent we good numbers of keepers around structure along the internal waters

The Spanish and King mackerel bite has been on and off. I believe the fish are there but we need some good conditions to fire them back up. The fishing is great so book your fishing charter by calling Capt. Robert Hall at (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com

August 2 Fishing Report

Finally some good tides with little wind. The tides have been beautiful lately flooding the marsh and pushing schools of Redfish into the marshes. We have been finding middle to upper slot fish in all the marshes around Swansboro. Most fish are falling for finger mullets under rattle corks and carolina rigs. We have also been doing well with topwater baits and scented softplastics on light jigheads.

The internal Flounder bite continues to be strong with good numbers of keeper size fish up to 5lbs being landed around the structure along the ICW and deeper channels along the inlet mouths. Flounder have been falling for live finger mullets and mud minnows on carolina rigs.

The king and spanish bite has cooled dramatically we have found a few fish but it has been a bit slow after the strong winds we had the last couple of weeks. I expect it to pick back up soon with the calmer weather patterns.
