Inshore fishing for red drum, black drum, speckled trout, and sheepshead continues to improve. While false albacore, aka albies, are crashing bait along the beaches offering blistering runs. Fall time fishing is the best of the year. Book today.

Loads of flounder, red and black drum are on the menu. The trout bite is off and on until we get a little cooler weather. We're using fresh shrimp/mullet cut bait, VUDU SHRIMP, Egret Quiver Shads under popping corks over oyster beds and off the grass lines around points with current. Especially if there's a deep-water drop-off. If the water is murky, a little Pro-Cure goes a long ways with the scent and popping cork vibrations to help draw in the fish.

Summer is winding down, and fall fishing is right around the corner! We've had a blast this summer catching speckled trout, red drum, flounder, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and more. Historically, October, November, and December are some of the best fishing months around Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington, the Cape Fear River, and the surrounding beaches.

October brings our annual run of big bull redfish, with 40-inch-class fish commonly caught throughout the month, along with plenty of 18–27-inch slot fish. Speckled trout fishing also peaks in mid-to-late October, making for some great artificial-lure fishing.

While flounder season was too short to keep them...

While flounder season was too short to keep them
this year, we'll still be catching some nice ones. Winter is also a great time to fish the area, with mild temperatures, lighter crowds, and excellent fishing during the warmest part of the day.

Great time in perfect weather ! Caught a lot and learned a lot from Jason. If you have never been fishing off the coast call him. He’s patient, knowledgeable and fun to be around. If you have fished off the coast some but want to go out deep sea fishing call Jason. He’s can make that happen too. That’s who I’m going to call for my next trip.
