Trails End Fishing Reports (April 2024)

Strong fishing here at Wrightsville Beach, we've caught some great flounder including one fish weighing 8 lbs today. Speckled trout fishing will be world class in the weeks to come, some large reds and still some flounder.

Summer fishing is good, red drum flounder and a few trout are around, spanish macks king macks also on the beaches with a few other things in the mix!!

Was in Stuart last week! Snook are awesome.

A few Atlantic bonita still linger around at Wrightsville beach Spanish macro fishing is as strong as new rope. Plenty for everyone but, fish are mostly on the smaller side. The first few flounder of the year have been getting caught mostly on plastics while trout fishing. Speckle trout fishing is pretty good right now with a chance of catching a very big female. Keeping them is discouraged, but for the person that loves a chance at a big one, spend your time early on top water in the next several weeks. Red drum are starting to bite better up and down the inter coastal waterway and near shore creeks, with the coming of the the mullet run that usually kicks off in late May or June. You can expect it to get really good once the bait come down the waterway. There will be great catch and release fishing for flounder and people who do not care to take fish home. King macro fishing should pick up in the next several weeks along near shore beaches and with the hopes of big menhaden schools on the beach. There could be good cobia opportunity.

Caught three 37 inch Grey trout today. Lost count on up to 5 lbers!

Things are warming up here at Wrightsville beach and wilmingtonmaria. Some spring bluefish have arrived but still catching a mixed bag of speckle drought and flounder. Anglers can expect the arrival of the Atlantic Bonita to come storming on to our beach fronts. Allowing anglers a nice spring kickoff to have their string pulled and their drag Squealed. The spanish mackerel should be right behind them. All insurance fishing should improve greatly in the next couple weeks with rising water temperatures.

Same report, things are God. Mild Temps, dependable fishing.

Fishing is in full winter mode here at sunny Wrightsville Beach, regardless mild Temps have .adequate for good winter fishing, we are enjoying good fishing for speckled trout around the beach and also good drum and striped bass fishing in the mighty Cape Fear river.

Trout fishing here should be as good as it gets towards October and November.

Tarpon fishing is still going but seeing the end in sight of our bite. Has been great!

Great fishing continues around Wrightsville beach with many different opportunities, from Spanish mackeral to great flounder fishing, red drum a few speckled trout and Tarpon are in the area. Expect great fishing for old drum citation size and fantastic Spanish mackerel and false albacore casting opportunities aswell. Tarpon can be caught but it’s a very specialized trip. If you’d like to book a Tarpon trip before the end of August call in to the team at Captain Experiences to hear about availability and pricing. Though there are September opportunities for Tarpon, our focus switches back to the trout. As Speckled Tout fishing starts getting really good as well as big reds.

Fishing is good for flounder inside and out It's good and giving anglers the best Bang for their buck although we are in a moratorium and can't keep the fish and proper Care is demonstrated and delivered to the fish as do the fish as we have to put them back catch catching Spanish macro on the beach on spoon and plainer combo's introductional trolling methods for anglers who need to put a big meal together some larger Spanish are binding on live dates which have been slow trolled Some trout and red fish have been caught but they have almost been far in between lately remember between lately as we are in the dog days of summer fill on down for a great day of reef and Spanish macro fishing that is very good and it's a staple for us in the summertime.

Good fishing continues at Wrightsville Beach anglers are enjoying catching flounder while having to release right now the open season starts September 1st and anglers will be able to keep flounder for the month speckled trout are still biting early in the morning on topwater plugs for anglers that are able to do so and there are large big red starting to show and that should just improve as summer goes on some fish caught in the 40 in class .
