Wrightsville Beach, NC Great Weather and Fishing; Report

The weather conditions has been just right lately for excellent inshore and in the vicinity of shore fishing the wonderful factor is the fishing has been wonderful as well! I really feel that we are about two weeks forward of the standard drinking water temps and fishing for this time of yr! Here is this weeks fishing report&gt&gt&gt

I’m seeing Bonita, Blues and a couple of Spanish when we are trolling off the seashore to five miles off. Trolling Clark spoons and small deep driver lures has been the key to good results. When using the Clark spoons, I would suggest the pink flash spoon in sizes #00, # and #1 the pink flash series has truly served me put far more fish in the boat. A bird rig on prime with a Clark spoon about 5 to 6 feet behind it or Blue h2o Candy Spanish daisy chain (blue, silver, pink) have worked very well on leading too. Look for birds functioning or marking bait on you fish finder is the way to locate the feeding fish. When the fish are not on leading, I’ve caught some wonderful Blues and a few Bonita by casting a spoon out and letting it sink down prior to reeling is in. I’ve identified that some occasions these fish are deeper and you can get them by acquiring down to deeper drinking water.

With all this warm air lately the Redfish and Black drum have been shifting in to the shallower waters. I caught some extremely good Reds and Black drum this final few weeks in waters of five to as shallow as a single foot deep. The trick for the Reds has been Berkley Gulp Alive in patterns three inch Shrimp and Mud minnow fishing these baits all around docks, oyster rocks and grass lines. Heading with lighter jig heads 1/16oz and one/8oz is doing work properly on the fish that are in a single to five foot of drinking water. Bait fishing is nonetheless very good and will keep on right through the summer time. Red and Black drum are hitting reduce shrimp and mullet on Carolina rigs close to the very same locations docks, oyster rocks etc… You in no way know how big or minor the drum will be when you are bait fishing we’ve had reds as modest as fourteen inches and as huge as about thirty inches lately.

The Flounder fishing ought to really start off to select soon, I search for Flounder about the inlets and just off the seaside in the spring/early summer time mouths. Little baits like mud minnows are fantastic ‘Flounder finder’ baits, you can use these baits for a prolonged time prior to they die and they are pretty easy to catch. Yet another way I really like to catch Flounder is with five inch Berkley Gulp Jerkshad the pinfish don’t seem to be to tear these apart quite as quickly as live baits. Just rig the Berkley Gulp Jerkshad like any grub and maintain the flat facet of the Jerkshad dealing with up wherever the hook comes out. Don’t genuinely worry also considerably about shade, but I would recommend heading with brighter colors for Flounder fishing.
