Affordable Charters Fishing Report

In the surf nice size bluefish, spots, small croaker, pompano, flounder, red drum, black drum, & Virginia mullet.

On the piers spots, croaker, Virginia mullet, bluefish, sheepshead, flounder, & gray trout.

Inshore lots of speckled trout & gray trout are starting to show up. Also catching red drum, flounder, black drum, blowfish & pigfish.

Offshore top water king mackerel, & Spanish mackerel. On the bottom red & gag grouper, grunts, snapper, black bass, pinkies & ringtail.

Fishing tip of the week: It’s that time of year when the shrimp are heading out so it’s a good time to start fishing at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Gray trout are starting to show up as well as whiting & blowfish. I have found fishing the falling tide produces the best catch. Keep fishing & stay safe

Fishing tip of the week: This weeks tip is on how to protect your lower unit from sandbars, etc. I have been using a new accessory called a skeg guard or skeg pro. This guard is custom fit for every model of boat motor & is made of stainless steel. They are available at Overton’s & also Island Tackle & Hardware are now carrying them. They cost from $100 to about $125. You will love the protection that this will give your boat motor. Keep fishing & stay safe.
