- Fishing is Good around Wrightsville Beach, NC and Hanna is Gone! - Posted to Captain Jot Owens Fishing Report by Capt. Jot Owens
I hope everybody made through Hanna ok. I’m very glad it was not a major storm, and it looks likes Ike is going to the Gulf. Good for us in the Carolina; not so good for the Gulf. Our hopes and preys are with the Gulf States. Fishing was good until we stopped for the passing of Hanna. I’m sure it will pick right back up too
The Spanish mackerel have still been biting good to great on most days, with some small keeper kings as well. Most of the Spanish are biting Clark spoons trolled.. (Read More)- Affordable Charters Fishing Report 9-7-08 - Posted to Affordable Charters Fishing Report by Gillwetter Press

Had a 3/4 live bait trip on Sunday with 3 couples from out of town. Caught plenty of live bait at the inlet and headed out to play with the AJs. The fish were shutdown and would not eat with the east wind and front that move through. After catching a few Barracudas we moved to some ledges and tried trolling. It wasn’t long and the short line went off with a nice Mahi but after a dozen jumped it broke free. Things were a little slow but we eventually had a couple of small kings. Then the long..

The inshore fishing has been really good the past couple of weeks with catches of red drum, black drum, speckled trout, flounder,lady fish, and sheephead.
We have been catching good numbers of speckled trout on live shrimp and Doa shrimp under a popping cork. There was one day that we caught over fifty specs. We have also picked up a few black drum and sheephead while fishing for the trout with live shrimp.
The redfish bite has been good also. We have caught a few over the slot fish 28" to 31" sightcasting artificials on the flats, but most.. (Read More)- Topsail & Surf City Outdoors-Fishing Report 9-2-08 - Posted to Headhunter Outdoors Report by Gillwetter Press
Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. I heard that one of my readers expressed concern that the fish pictured in last weeks column was illegal! Folks let me assure you that the fish in question was over the slot limit and was released unharmed along with several others that were in the same size range. I practice catch and release and that fish has been caught several times in the last few weeks. Folks, my reputation is too valuable to risk a run-in with the Marine Fisheries guys and get a ticket. Not to mention.. (Read More)- Big Red Drum at Wrightsville Beach - Posted to Rod-Man Charters Fishing Report by Capt. Rick Bennett
Hi Folks,
When we are not catching spanish we are fighting some pretty nice red drum on lite tackle. Spanish macs have been the fish of this season thus far, but we cannot forget our popular inshore friends the reds, flounder and trout. Fall fishing is just around the corner and all three will be chomping.

Nice sea conditions have allowed going to the gulf stream.
Catch of blackfin tuna, wahoo and mahi! A blue marlin was hooked at the 100 fathom curve. The fishing should only get better and was told the yellow fin were down off of Charleston last week. They should be making their way north in the next couple of weeks.
The blackfin were caught way back behind the boat! Long lines were 200 plus yards out. Light leader and small baits were the ticket. Sreader bar rigs also scored well on the tuna!

The fishing has been good and thankfully I have been busy. I want to thank all of my repeat clients for coming down in the fall and over the Holidays to enjoying the great fall/winter fishing. Winter fishing has arrived with speckled trout, striped bass, and red drum. Most of the fish have been caught on artificial lures and live bait. Everyone has enjoyed the new trolling motor, It allows us to cover lots of ground and makes lure fishing a blast.

It’s time for Spanish Mackerel and I’m here to tell you there are plenty out there. The piers are getting their share of Spanish. The size is still a little small. The biggest I have heard of was around one and a half pounds. Five to ten miles out there are plenty of mid-size King Mackerel around the fifteen-pound range. On the bottom, Black Bass and Snapper are really starting to bite. If you run to the Gulf Stream, well, that’s another story. Plenty of Tuna and Wahoo and some are trophy size.
