trip description for Full Day Offshore in Wrightsville Beach

We will usually run about 20 miles offshore to where the higher relief ledges and wrecks can stretch for miles. Big depth changes offshore usually mean more schools of bait and more predator fish chasing them. I like to maximize fishing time so we will usually start on the inshore edge of where the best action has been and work our way further offshore. King Mackerel are the majority of what we will catch, with Amberjack, Barracuda, Mahi and possibly a Sailfish mixing in. This trip is for those who love to be far out to sea for an extended period of time. I will clean your fish and bag the filets when we get back to the dock. Read More

The beachfront and nearby inlets are popular spots for surf fishing, where anglers can target species like pompano, flounder, and red drum.

For those interested in inshore fishing, the nearby estuaries and marshes provide excellent opportunities.

Anglers often use light tackle and live bait to take advantage of the abundant fish populations in these shallow, brackish waters. Kayak fishing is also a popular option, allowing for easy access to some of the more secluded spots and offering a unique perspective on the local fishing scene.

Offshore fishing is another appealing option in North Topsail Beach, with access to deeper waters where anglers can target larger species such as tuna, mahi-mahi, and king mackerel. Charter boats are readily available and provide guided trips that cater to both novice and experienced anglers. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a relaxing day of surf fishing or seek the thrill of offshore adventures, North Topsail Beach offers a range of fishing opportunities that make it a worthwhile destination for fishing enthusiasts.

What are the most popular months to go fishing in North Topsail Beach?

Fishing in North Topsail Beach, North Carolina, follows a seasonal pattern that influences the types of fish you can target throughout the year. Spring is a particularly exciting time for anglers, as warmer temperatures prompt the migration of various fish species into the area. This season is ideal for targeting species like red drum and speckled trout, which become more active as the water warms. Additionally, the arrival of these fish makes it a great time for surf fishing and inshore fishing in the estuaries and marshes.

Summer brings the peak of fishing activity in North Topsail Beach. The warm waters attract a wide range of species, including flounder, pompano, and king mackerel. Offshore fishing also becomes more productive during this season, with opportunities to catch tuna and mahi-mahi in deeper waters. The long days and stable weather conditions create optimal fishing conditions, making summer a popular time for both local and visiting anglers. Surf fishing is particularly effective during this period, as fish are often found closer to shore.

As fall approaches, fishing conditions in North Topsail Beach continue to be favorable. The cooling waters prompt fish species to feed more aggressively in preparation for the winter months. This season is a good time to catch red drum and black drum, as they are more active in the shallower waters. Offshore fishing remains productive, with opportunities to catch species like tuna and mahi-mahi before they migrate out of the area. Winter brings cooler temperatures and a slower fishing pace, but it can still be productive for targeting certain species, with inshore fishing often being the best option during this time.

What types of fishing are popular in North Topsail Beach?

Fishing in North Topsail Beach offers a variety of techniques suited to the diverse fish species found in the area. Surf fishing is one of the most popular methods, allowing anglers to cast from the beach into the ocean. This technique is effective for targeting species such as pompano, flounder, and red drum. Surf fishing typically involves using heavier gear and bait, such as cut bait or live sand fleas, to attract fish that are feeding in the surf zone.

Inshore fishing is another prevalent technique in North Topsail Beach, especially in the nearby estuaries and marshes. Anglers often use light tackle and live bait, such as shrimp or small fish, to target species like speckled trout and striped bass. Kayak fishing is a popular option for reaching some of the more remote and shallow areas, offering a more intimate fishing experience and better access to secluded spots where fish congregate.

Offshore fishing is also a significant draw for those looking to venture beyond the surf. Charter boats provide access to deeper waters where anglers can pursue larger species such as tuna, mahi-mahi, and king mackerel. Techniques used in offshore fishing include trolling with lures or live bait and bottom fishing for species like snapper and grouper. The variety of fishing methods available in North Topsail Beach ensures that there are opportunities for anglers of all preferences and skill levels.

What species are popular for fishing in North Topsail Beach?

Fishing in North Topsail Beach provides anglers with access to a diverse array of fish species throughout the year. Inshore fishing is particularly rewarding, with species such as red drum, speckled trout, and flounder being commonly targeted. Red drum, also known as redfish, are especially popular due to their aggressive fighting and delicious flavor. They are often found near the estuaries and marshes, where anglers can use live bait or artificial lures to entice them. Speckled trout, known for their speckled markings, are also prevalent in the inshore waters, making them a favorite among local anglers.

During the summer months, surf fishing can yield a variety of species including pompano and black drum. Pompano are known for their tasty meat and can be caught using sand fleas or small baitfish. Black drum, which can grow quite large, are often found in the surf and can be targeted with cut bait or live shrimp. The warm waters of summer also bring larger species closer to shore, making it an exciting time for surf fishing.

Offshore fishing in North Topsail Beach opens up opportunities to catch more substantial species such as tuna, mahi-mahi, and king mackerel. Tuna, including species like yellowfin and blackfin, are prized for their size and fight, and are often targeted using trolling techniques with lures or live bait. Mahi-mahi, or dolphinfish, are known for their vibrant colors and acrobatic strikes, making them a thrilling catch. King mackerel, another popular offshore species, can be targeted with trolling rigs or live bait, providing a challenging and rewarding fishing experience.

What are the best places to fish in North Topsail Beach?

North Topsail Beach offers several prime fishing spots that cater to various angling preferences. One of the best places for surf fishing is directly from the beach itself. The sandy shores provide ample opportunity to cast for species like pompano, red drum, and flounder. Access is easy, and the consistent surf makes it a favorite spot for both casual and seasoned anglers. Fishing from the beach allows for a relaxed experience while still providing a chance to catch some impressive fish.

For those interested in inshore fishing, the estuaries and marshes near North Topsail Beach are excellent locations. The shallow waters in these areas are home to speckled trout, striped bass, and black drum. The marshlands are particularly productive due to the abundance of natural cover and baitfish. Kayak fishing is ideal for accessing these secluded spots, allowing anglers to navigate the winding channels and find the perfect place to set up.

Offshore fishing is a major draw in North Topsail Beach, with several charter services offering trips to deeper waters. Popular areas for offshore fishing include the waters off the continental shelf, where anglers can target species like tuna, mahi-mahi, and king mackerel.

Does North Topsail Beach have good fishing?

The combination of surf, inshore, and offshore fishing makes it a versatile spot that caters to diverse fishing interests. The beach itself is ideal for surf fishing, with accessible sandy shores providing a good chance to catch species like pompano, flounder, and red drum. The consistent surf and nearby inlets create favorable conditions for a productive fishing experience right from the shore.

Inshore fishing around North Topsail Beach is also quite rewarding, especially in the local estuaries and marshes. These areas are teeming with fish such as speckled trout, striped bass, and black drum. The shallow, sheltered waters offer ample cover and baitfish, making it a hotspot for inshore fishing. Kayak fishing in these regions adds another dimension to the fishing experience, allowing anglers to explore less accessible areas and enjoy a more intimate connection with the local environment.

Offshore fishing further enhances North Topsail Beach's reputation as a great fishing location. Charter boats provide access to deeper waters where anglers can target larger species such as tuna, mahi-mahi, and king mackerel. The local fishing charters are well-equipped and knowledgeable about the best spots and techniques, ensuring a high-quality fishing experience.

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    My brother and I had a terrific fishing experience with Judd in mid-May. Great equipment, personable and clear communication - plus Judd's experience and judgement made the whole trip a relaxing and fun time all around for our early season exploration of inshore fishing opportunities now that we both live much closer together. We enjoyed a variety of fishing techniques - Judd knows a lot about fish and where to find them as well as when to go looking. Our inexperience showed, but Judd coaches well - patiently - until we got to connecting regularly with especially the many speckled trout opportunities. Sight-fishing for redfish, which Judd expertly located, was also new for us - we had a blast and definitely hope to try again! Kudos and thanks for the quality of this trip, Judd!

    Jordan was a great captain! By gosh, by dern, he was going to find some fish for us. Nearly defeated, he found a spot at the end of our trip. He was kind enough to let us fish a bit longer than scheduled so we could pull in a few. Thank you!

    Kyle G. with Drew Z. of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina

    Captain G is the man! We had a blast on our trip chasing reds on soft plastics and fly inshore, hammering flounder at G's secret spot, loading up on Spanish Mackerel at the jetties, running the beaches for cobia and catching bluefish and a 6' Blacktip Shark, and then running a few miles off to try our luck on some amberjack. This trip was a wild nonstop adventure and I came away amazed at the variety of fishing opportunities Captain G can line up at the drop of a hat. There was never a dull moment and G's setup is perfect for skinny water, zipping down the coast, and fishing open water offshore. His gear is top of the line and he was super quick to re-rig tackle when needed so we were keeping lines wet. 10/10 and can't wait to fish with G again sometime soon. -Jonathan with Captain Experiences
