Carolina Beach Fishing Reports

The fishing is heating up, we are starting to see some nice flounder showing up around the Carolina Beach Inlet and the Cape Fear River.  We are catching most of the fish using live baits.  If bait is hard to find the 3 inch Gulp Alive Pearl White Shrimp works really well on a 1/4 oz gig head.  We are occasionally catching some nice red fish around the docks while trying to catch the flounder.

Right off the beach some really nice blue fish, spanish and some big seabass are being caught while fishing the reefs.  Just remember you can’t keep any seabass until June 1st.

The water temp is up and getting warmer every day.   We are catching some nice whiting around the Bald Head Island area, some of these fish are in the 2lb range.  These fish put a nice fight for the kids.  The trick to catching these fish is to use the freshest shrimp you can find, not frozen.  We are starting to see some nice speckled trout around the islands in the Cape Fear River using live shrimp on a float rig.  The new penny DOAs are also working well.  The red drum bite is starting to pick up around the docks of the ICW anywhere from Carolina Beach to Wrightsville Beach.  Right of the beaches we are starting to catch some really big blues and a few Spanish are starting to show up also.  Each day just gets better and better!  So for a great day on the water give me a call!
