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 weather took a turn for the worse with 15 mph SE winds so making to the drop was out of the question. Decided to try some inshore spots for top water AJs and headed out 20 miles. There was a 3 to 4 ft chop but Jon made the 1st cast with the popper and immediately got skied by a 15 lb King Mackerel which cut off the mono but the plug floated with 6 AJs swimming circles around the popper. We retrieved the popper and it didn’t take long to start.. (Read More)
Inshore the fishing has been great. The redfish are biting jigs, topwater, and natural baits. Strike king and D.O.A minnows on 3/8 jigs are producing most of the fish. We are picking up trout and flounder on these lures as well. If you want to kick-back and relax the fish are more than willing to bite shrimp or live minnows fished on a cork or bottom rig. If you are looking for some great inshore fishing action, now is the time to call 910-264-1807 and book your trip today!!
Off the coast the fishing has been heating up as well. We are catching.. (Read More)
Hi Folks,
Things are heating up fast. One boat report 18 large Spanish mackerel this week! Inshore fishing is improving daily and with the warm temps this week, fishing should really turn on.
Now here’s my report:
INSHORE: Redfish and flounder are the primary suspects right now. Artificials and live bait will both do the trick. The river, the inlets, the ICW and the creeks have been producing well.
NEAR SHORE: The big Spanish have shown in good numbers. Bluefish are still around and some choppers are biting... (Read More)
April is normally a transition month and the inshore fishing can be up and down in the Cape Fear area. That is typically how it goes and things usually turn around in May. So I am really looking forward to a little more consistency and the arrival of more and larger inshore species. Redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheephead, large and small bluefish and a few more inshore fish will be available as we get into the month of May. I can make inshore saltwater fishing for all of these species simple and fun for all ages and skill levels,.. (Read More)

wrightsville beach fishing charters Captain mike 910-619-8509 The last few days of fishing have been great, lots of reds moving up on the flats and oyster bars to sun and feed.Soft plastics, jerkbaits and swimbaits have been my choice .There is lots of winter moss still left on the bottom which makes anything heavy impossible to fish.The rain has set in today but the trout have started moving to the creek mouths which makes them easy to see and easy to catch.With the weather breaking this weekend, it should be the time to hit the water!

With the fluctuations in the weather lately, the fishing has been just as unpredictable. We have had several days with outstanding numbers of redfish and have had some slow days also. With the warm weather creeping back the redfish bite will become more consistent. The flounder and trout will also be showing up in good numbers soon. Several flounder have already been caught and we had a 14” speckled trout last week! The redfish have been schooled up in large schools throughout the day but as the water heats up they will start to.. (Read More)

Capt Grady had a good weekend of Fishing. This was a half day trip not far off the beach and this group had a blast. Plenty of sharks and Spanish Mackerel to catch. Grady also reported the king mackerel, dolphin and sailfish bite is still pretty good. They fished off shore Sunday and did pretty good on the school kings and caught one sail and a few dolphin. If you are thinking of.. (Read More)
Awww….the sound of multiple reels screaming as each rod doubles over when your bait spread is suddenly ambushed by a school of Yellowfin Tuna……or how bout a monster Wahoo skyrocketing on an outrigger bait and burning 300yds of line off of a 50 wide……better yet, the beautiful yellow, green, and blue colors of a Mahi-Mahi as it jumps to free itself from the end of your line….. That’s Holden Beach Gulf Stream Fishing at its finest aboard the Gamefisher III, a tournament rigged Ocean Master 31.

Well it is time to start talking about winter time striper trips. As most of you know, the striper fishing out of Oregon Inlet over the past two winters has not been up to par. There were some fish around, but nothing like it used to be. The main body of fish have been staying off Virginia Beach due to the unusually warm winters we have had. With this in mind we have decided to have a boat.. (Read More)
