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.

The inshore fishing has been pretty good around the tides. We are finding some good numbers of keeper size flounder around all the inshore structure such as docks, bridges, oyster beds, etc. Most of these fish have been landed on live mullets, mud minnows, or pogies on carolina rigs.

We have also been finding some nice reds in the marshes behind the barrier islands when the tide is flooded. Most of these fish are caught on topwaters and soft plastics.

July 7th Fishing Report

The Spanish and king bite has turned back on. We are landing spanish in the 2-6lb range with the occasional 5-15lb king. This fishing is super exciting with visual strikes right in the prop wash. The best bait has been 3-4" menhaden.

The flounder bite continues to be great with good numbers of keeper fish on the structure and creeks along the ICW. We have also been landing keepers in the deeper channels near the inlets. Most fish have been falling for live pogies, mullet, and mud minnows on carolina rigs. Gulp jerkshads and shrimp on bucktails have also done the trick.

We have also still been finding some pretty speckled trout in the marsh creeks. These fish have been falling for live shrimps under slip corks. Specks have also been taking scented soft plastics on light jigheads. The Redfishing has been pretty good when we have the tide to fish in the marshes. We are finding 25-30" fish in all the bays behind the barrier islands. Most fish have been exploding on Top water baits. But live shrimp, mud minnows, mullets will also do the job.
