Cape Fear Area fishing improving

Fishing in the Cape Fear Area is improving. Recent warm weather has increased the water temps and the spring fishing run has begun.
In the past few days the Atlantic Bonito have made a strong showing along Wrightsville Beach and Topsail Beach with Diver’s Rock area being particularly productive. Bluefish have shown up as well off Wrightsville and Carolina Beach with areas such as the Liberty Ship having good catches of fish. These fish will only be here for a few weeks as they will continue to migrate to points North as the ocean waters continue to warm.
Red Drum or Redfish, have also been biting well. Around Wrightsville Beach, docks along the ICW have been
holding some nice drum and the flats around Bald Head Island have been having some good catches as well. The Cape Fear River has been giving up some nice Speckled Trout, with a bunch of smaller fish mixed in.
Offshore, the King Mackerel bite is on in the warmer offshore waters. There are a few Kings in close, as a few have been caught off of the Pier at Ocean Isle. Typically, the King and Spanish Mackerel show up well close to the beach in early May, so I expect to catch some in close in the next few days. For those few that have been able to afford to go to the Gulf Stream, there are Wahoo, Yellow Fin Tuna, Black Fin Tuna and Dolphin being caught. I have even heard a report of a Sailfish being caught near the Frying Pan Tower area.
It’s time to go and catch some fish!! Call and book your trip today.
Tight lines!!!

Another Front slows wrightsville beach fishing
As has been of late, another cold front has graced out presence and has turned off the fish in Wrightsville Beach, Topsail Beach, Carolina Beach and the surrounding areas. However, this front should be short lived and I am expecting the fishing to pick up in the next few days.
By the weekend, we are expecting temperatures to climb back into the upper 70′s and the solunar forecast for the weekend is a 5, so I am expecting great catches by the end of the week and weekend.
Tides along the carolina coast will be high early in the morning this weekend and should make for some great flats fishing. I am also expecting there to be some good catches of Atlantic Bonito and bluefish as well. There is some 68+degree water out about 25 miles offshore and the King Mackerel bite should be great this weekend.
If you are thinking about a spring fishing trip, this weekend is looking good so give me a call.
As always,
Tight lines and only keep what you can eat!!
