Surf City Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Surf City
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.

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.

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...

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...

Weather's been fair and when we can get out the sea bass fishing has been outstanding. Limit out in an hour. All bigger than average fish.
