Charlie's Charters Fishing Report

Fishing out of Carolina and Wrightsville Beach has been doing well and we have been catching everything from upper slot Redfish, Flounder, Spanish & Kings to name a few.  The Redfish and Flounder are biting well on live Menhaden and cut Mullet and if you catch one of those annoying Pinfish he makes a great Flounder bait as well.  Just cut into 1 inch strips about 3 to 4 inches long kinda like a yield sign, they love it.

We’ve been catching Redfish along the docks in the ICW using live bait, the best tides have been the falling tide.  We have not been able to turn around some of these drag screamers. 

The offshore action has been on fire lately with Spanish and King Mackerel.  The Spanish have been right outside the inlets catching them by trolling or sight casting.  King’s are also mixed in but the bigger ones have been anywhere from 5 to 10 miles out even with a few nice Mahi being caught. 

 So enjoy your day on the water and give us a call.

Water temps are in the 80s and the fishing has been great with nice catches of Flounder, Speckled Trout and Red Drum using live bait on a Carolina Rig.  Live bait is still everywhere and Finger Mullet should start showing up anytime, I can’t wait.  We’ve been catching Flounder all along the ICW and Carolina Beach Inlet.  The Speckled Trout bite is still good along the Cape Fear River using live Shrimp on float rigs and artificial DOAs.

Red Drum are showing up along the dock’s in the ICW and Carolina Beach Inlet with some nice sizes, remember you are only allowed one fish per person per day (must be 18 in – 27 in long) but what a fight they put on.

Right offshore the Spanish Mackerel are showing up in good numbers, what a blast to sight cast to.  There have also been some nice King’s mixed in with the Spanish.

Shark fishing is just around the corner so if you want a fight they will be more than glad to give you one that you won’t forget.

So grab the kids and let’s go fishing.

Check out the pictures from this past weeks fishing.
