Cape Fear River Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Cape Fear River
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...

Summertime temps means sightcasting topwater plugs and spoons to large schools of redfish and that's exactly what we done today.

We competed in Georgetown SC and brought home a 2nd place finish and last week I did a seminar for Salt Strong. Here at home the fish are ganged up and waiting for you to come on out and catch them. My young men on the boat yesterday landed 15 or so. Our fish are coming on MirrOlure topwater plugs, Saltwater Assassin plastics fished under 4Horsemen popping corks, Saltwater Assassin plastics fished weedless with Pro-Cure Bait Scents and the trusty old gold spoon. I have days available this week and the rest of March.

Wahoo and Blackfin tuna have been the catch lately. Wahoo has been 2 to 3, every trip, fin has been 5 to 10 every Trip. A few of the trips we would've been able to get a lot more black Fin but after you get your first few on the rock, the sharks find us and start eating them before we can get them to the boat so we had to move and find another group to catch.

Bonito bite is on fire. With Black Sea bass and big sheep's head on the wrecks. The fishing for reds and black drum has been steady as well on cut bait, and tip water during during the mid day suns.

The red drum have started to break up from their winter schools and have become much more active. Catching fish on cut baits and fresh shrimp as well as artificial and top water baits. The black drum bite has been very productive catching fishing along boat docks fishing fresh shrimp. The near shore action has by far been the best. The Atlantic bonito have shown up and have been all up and down the beach trolling deep divers and casting at fish on the surface. There have been a few Spanish mackerel around but the numbers have not shown up...
