Sizzling, summer action at wrightsville and Carolina beaches here at Seagate. The summer is here in full effect, but fall is on the horizon and we are looking for cooling temperatures. The best fishing of the year, which follows summer from August to November is where the magic happens. Things start cooling off, the fishing gets good, and just, like always here. Mother nature dictates where we go. And what we do in the timing of all but the fishing will be good for flounder, Red Drum, and Speckled Trout to name a few.

Between the almost endless winds we've have very steady action bottom fishing for groupers, snappers, triggers etc. A few king mackerel nearshore, with good casting action for spanish mackerel, bluefish and bait fishing for sharks. Inshore has been tough overall but, there's are a few redfish, speckled trout, black drum and sheepshead in the mix.

The dog days of summer are upon us, and when the weather cooperates the Spanish and Bluefish blitz is as good as it gets! Drum inside have been tough but we're finding them, so if you want action, it's Spanish and blues, but if you want the hunt and thrill of payoff, it's reds!

Hi captain Jamie here. Anglers have enjoyed good fishing for red drum in the upper slot size and over in the last few weeks and should only get better with big spacing fish, "bulls" should follow along late August and into September. Flounder fishing is good now as well. People need to go ahead and book now for the 2 week season beginning Sept 1. At that time everyone goes home with a nice un!!! There is an early Morning speckled trout bite on topwater and then falls off but get great in the months to come and last all...

Ocean fishing has been good nearshore and offshore.... lots of casting opportunities nearshore for bluefish and Spanish mackerel on light spinning gear as well as a splash of king mackerel and amberjack on live bait nearshore. If you find a happy pack of amberjacks you can get them to take topwater plugs and even fly tackle. Not to mention the sharks, plenty of action to those wanting to target sharks and many times even those anglers that don't want sharks. On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers,...

On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers, trigger fish, vermilion snappers and a few sea bass plus all the other typical species. There's still a stray Cobia or two most days and a few mahi too.
