LiveLine Charters Fishing Report

Had a combo trip with 4 guys that traveled down from NY. We wanted to try a little of everything so headed to the break to try trolling for some Wahoo and Tuna. The ocean was flat and ran 40 mph the whole way out. Trolled for a couple hours with no action so we switched over to jigging. Caught a large Lion fish 1st thing not what we wanted. Moved to the north and had some medium size AJs and broke a few off. Later in the day decide to look for some grouper and it was great fishing. Ended up with 6 giant reds between 13 to 18 lbs, 2 scamps 10 lbs and a strawberry. Also caught a 20 lb king. Plenty of fillets for the guys to bring home.

The weather was as predicted at the last minute hard North winds 15 to 25 mph. The guys decided to try a little live bait fishing at South port the only place slightly fishable with the conditions. We jigged some nice bluefish and headed down to South port 25 miles down the waterway/ Cape Fear river. Fished a inshore artificial reef with no luck and moved off shore to the area that has produced fish for the last couple weeks. Drifted down wind and finally the long line went off. Paul landed a fat 23 lbs fall king in NC. Called it a day at noon and headed back up the river. Not the trip we planned but we made the best of the conditions.
