Good Fishing with Good People
The inshore fishing has been really good lately with catches of red drum, speckled trout, black drum, flounder and bluefish. Many of the red drum are over the slot, drag screaming fish and a blast on light tackle. The trout are not as thick as they were but are larger fish, 2 to 3 lbs. We are picking up a few flounder mixed in with the trout and reds.

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report.
The fish are biting folks! The water temps in the sound are around the low 70’s and the reds are tearing it up.
The creeks off the waterway seem to be the best places to look for a school. I took a charter out on Sunday and we caught 19 back in a creek on cut bait and live bait. All I could find was little pinfish but they were hitting them.
The surf is giving up some Red and Black drum along with some whiting and all different sizes of Bluefish... (Read More)- Fishing Report 05-01-2008 - Posted to LiveLine Charters Fishing Report by SFTC Press
I took a day off of sorts. Actually I went fun fishing on a buddies boat and we wanted to do some exploring and jigging/bottom fishing. This was the single best day as far a quality of grouper we have had in a while in NC. I have attached a few pictures but the high light was a 36 plus lb Gag grouper caught by Chris. in addition we had a 27 lb Red Grouper and several others over the 20 lb mark. I also caught a 10 lb Sand Tile fish on a jig. At the end of.. (Read More)- Bonito and Blues Biting Hard off Wrightsville/Carolina Beaches - Posted to Rod-Man Charters Fishing Report by SFTC Press
Hi Folks,
This weekend brought some nice weather and gave us the opportunity to get out and chase some bonito. The good news is there are bonito out there and more.
Now here’s my report:
Inshore: Reds and trout are biting in the inlets, the ICW and the river. Best baits right now are GULP SW and fresh shrimp or cut bait. A few flounder are starting to show up…a bit on the smaller size.
Near Shore: Bluefish are just about everywhere. Catch-em trolling Yozuri Deep Divers or jigging with you favorite jigging spoon. Bonito are around.. (Read More)- Carolina Fishing Report 4-23-08 - Posted to Reel-Adventure Charters Fishing Report by SFTC Press
The Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach and Topsail Beach fishing has improved tremendously over the past few days. Now is the time to book your trip! The fishing is great and it will only continue to get better!

Good day to everyone. The weather is starting to finally get right; we are having more warm days than cooler ones. The forecast has warmer days for the rest of the week, a little cool today though! Wind wise a little better everyday, we’ve finally started to get out on the ocean and chase those Bonita’s around. Let’s talk about that.
Those high speed Bonita’s are showing up, good numbers should show up any day now. The Bluefish are mixed in with them too. We’re catching them by trolling and casting. The trolling rigs that we’re using are; a number.. (Read More)- Lookout Charters Fishing Report 4-11-08 - Posted to Lookout Charters Fishing Reports by SFTC Press

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!
Closer in caught grouper and snaller on the way home... (Read More)- SAILFISH - Istiophorus platypterus - Posted to Fish ID by SFTC Press

The beautiful thing about the Carolina coast, is that there is always a fish that you can catch. Right now, it is grouper time. Along with Grouper, there are snapper, Black Sea Bass, and Grunts to be caught. IF you find the fish it can be non-stop action all day. The best thing about it is that all of those fish also make great table fare. The Striped Bass are also biting well this time of the year, and they can provide a fun, hard fight. Book your summer trips now, and gurantee your spot.

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.
Now is the time to book your Winter or Spring Carolina Beach Fishing Charter. Call 910-264-1807 to book.. (Read More)- 1/2 DAY TRIP ON THE SEA HAG = LIMIT OF KINGS - Posted to Sharky’s Bait-Tackle-Charters Fishing Report by Chris at Sharky's

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.
