Carolina Beach Fishing Reports

Chris Gumpper from Butler, PA with a 32 inch Cobia, caught and released while fishing the Carolina Beach Inlet; caught on a carolina rig using live finger mullet.

Even though we could not keep the Cobia due to it being under sized by 1 inch the Gumpper Family of Butler, PA and the Cooper Family of Gibsonia, PA ended up with these fine flounder.

I have fished in this area my whole life and I really think this has been the best season for flounder in a long time.  I finally got a day off and choose to go fishing with my dad, what a day.  My dad has been fishing the Cape Fear area for almost 40 years and now that he is retired this is what he does everyday.  This is how I learned to flounder fish, again, what a day!

Inshore - the Flounder fishing has been great now the Finger Mullet have finally moved in which is even better.  Speckled Trout fishing is still doing well in the Cape Fear River.  Red Drum fishing has been good around the docks in the ICW.   Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach Inlets have some of these fish in the 30 inch range.

Nearshore - right outside the Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach inlets the Spanish are still doing well with a few Kings and Cobia mixed in.
