Upper slot red fish, flounder
Fishing in the Carolina Beach and Bald Head Island area has been doing great. We’ve caught everything including upper slot red fish, flounder and are starting to see some nice speckled trout showing up. The red fish and flounder are biting well on live baits including menheaden and finger mullet. Right off our beaches we […]
Nice catches of red fish with some of these drag screamers over the slot
Despite the recent brush of Hurricane Arthur, fishing in the Carolina Beach area is getting back to normal. This past week we’ve had nice catches of red fish with some of these drag screamers over the slot. We are also seeing some good size flounder and speckled trout showing up in our inlets and around […]
Kings are still way out, but the Gulfstream is producing wahoo and blackfin tune.
Hi Folks, It seems winter will not let us go. Water temps are still below 60. We had a touch of spring and the fish started to respond. The last few days of cold, rain and wind have shut things down again. As the weather settles down again in the coming days, look for redfish, […]

Water temps are in the mid 60’s. Looks like we have some weather coming in Thursday but hopefully this weekend should bring […]

Poagies are pretty easy to find for bait fishermen. Some reds are being caught

Some redfish and a few smaller flounder are biting bait and artificials
Hi Folks, This has been the most unusual early fishing season I personally have experienced in over 16 years of professional fishing. This past weekend saw an explosion of near shore fishing, while inshore fishing with the exception of the river, has slooooooooooooowed way down. Winds have been consistently SW for a good period and […]
