Beaufort Fishing Reports (July 2026)

Spanish Mack's have shown up, along with nice size bluefish on Topwater action. With a trickle of redfish

Blues, Spanish, and the last of bonito

Sea mullet and grey trout are showing up Now, bluefish and bonito are also around for great fights in lite tackle

Here on the Crystal Coast spring has sprung in the ocean. The Bonita are finally arriving along the beaches and we will chase these sushi grade speedsters casting metal, trolling spoons, and live baiting. The Chopper Bluefish are on the shoals and smashing topwater. And some jumbo False Albacore up to 25lbs are in the mix. Seabass fishing is solid in 80 to 100ft and the vermillion snapper, triggerfish are joining them. Great time of the year and it will only get better in the coming weeks as cobia and Spanish Mackerel arrive.

Bluefish are starting to show up.
Water is moving up, it's around 64-67 right now which will get more fish moving in. Never know what you're goin to catch this time of year while everyone's waiting on bonito!

Things are getting better

Been cold and sheepshead with a mix of black drum off the jetties

It's Black Seabass time of the year. A great spring break option. Lots of action and good eats too! And if the ocean doesn't cooperate weather wise, chasing tasty sea mullet can be a backup.

Inshore fishing has been awesome. Both day and night.
