NC Fishing - Hunting - Outdoors Reports

Our fishing charter trips out of Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach have been doing well and we have been catching everything from upper slot red drum, HUGE amberjacks, mahi, black drum, bluefish, and spanish and king mackerel to name a few. The weather has been fantastic and the fishing has been great right along with it.

INSHORE: The redfish and flounder are biting well on Berkley Gulp jerkbaits and the 3 inch shrimp. I like the white or new penny colors for clear water and the rootbeer for the darker water. The speckled trout action has also been steady, try a jerk bait or a popping cork with a gulp shrimp under it for best results.

OFFSHORE: The offshore action has been on fire lately. The king mackerel are doing awesome but we have not ran into any large ones yet. Speaking of large…..we boated a huge 72 pound amberjack last week on a 3 pound bluefish and broke off 3 more that were probably close to 100 pounds that we could not stop! Check below for the new amberjack video to see the 72 pounder being caught by my customers. The mahi action is also doing well. On the same trip when the 72 pound AJ was caught I also free gaffed a 15 pound mahi that would not eat anything but live UN-HOOKED menhaden. Well needless to say he got too close to the boat and ended up in the cooler. The Spanish are still biting well on the beach and we are getting most of them sight casting to the schools.

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. Well hunting season is out so all I have to talk about is FISHING. The Spanish are thick just outside off the inlets in the morning and the Kings are all the way in to the beach. They have been catching them off the piers along with some Tarpon being hooked up but not landed. I’ve heard that the Mahi are in to about 10-15 miles and the bottom fish like Grouper,Snapper,and Black bass are thick on the ledges and hardbottom area’s.
The Specks are Thick up in the New River and some nice Redfish are working the points as well. Topsail Inlet area is producing more Flounder but most of them are small. The Reds are along the banks in shallow water but are real finicky. One day they want live shrimp,then the next day they won’t hit nothing. It gets real frustating when you can see them but they won’t bite. Some big Blues are in the waterway too. Now I ain’t talking 2-3 pounders folks, I’m talking 10-12 pounders. The best way to get one is with a big Pogey on a float rig. Use a little wire leader so they won’t bite you off and Don’t stick your finger in one’s mouth or you will lose it.
Well thats about it for this week, so take a kid fishing! Capt. David

Hi folks,Capt. David with this weeks outdoors report. I sure hope the wind will lay down because I’m tired of it! This is June, not March. Enough ranting about the weather folks, lets talk fishing. Offshore everything is biting, From bottom fish to pelagics, pick your poison ladies and gents. Kings are being caught from the piers on out. That’s good news for you small boat folks. Just remember to be careful and pay attention going through the inlet. Speaking of the inlet, the Corps of Enginners were dredging Topsail inlet this past week. I don’t know if the buoys are correct yet so be careful!
The piers are reporting Kings, Spanish, Blues, Cobia, Pompano, lounder, Red drum and Black Drum, Sheepshead and everything else. Inshore the Reds are biting good but are scattered. If you find a school don’t tell anybody but me! OK! Seriously there are a lot of nice fish all along the waterway and one spot is about as good as another. If I told you where they were it wouldn’t be as much fun. The live bait is getting better as well. A good cast net in the back off the creeks will turn up Finger mullet, Menhaden, and Shrimp. On a Carolina rig or a float rig you can catch about anything with these baits.
Well I’ve got to go folks the water is calling or was that my wife? Huh guess I’ll go fishing! Till next week, Tight line and Screaming drags to all of you. Hey take a kid fishing too! Capt. David
