Affordable Charters Fishing Report

On the piers starting to catch a few spots, nice size bluefish, large red drum, Virginia mullet, croaker, flounder, black drum, a few sheepshead, & shark.

In the surf catching some nice size red drum, black drum, Virginia mullet, flounder, some nice size bluefish, croaker, pompano, & sharks.

Inshore red drum, flounder, small Virginia mullet, black bass, speckled & gray trout, bluefish, eel, & shark.

Offshore no report.

Fishing tip of the week: We’ve had a lot of rain this past week. The Cape Fear River goes all the way to Sanford, N.C. so there has been a lot of fresh water running into to the river. It will take a week or so for all this fresh water to be gone & this will be the reason for the bite to slow down for inshore fishing. Once this fresh water gets out of here the fishing should pick up again. So be ready for some good fall fishing. Keep fishing & stay safe.
