Warmer Weather and Hot Fishing around Wrightsville Beach & Wilmington, NC-Report

Wow, what a big difference some warm climate can make on fishing! This has been some of the finest February weather conditions I’ve ever before seen close to southeast North Carolina in a really long time! The wonderful thing it has actually gotten the fish transferring and starting to feed some close to the local waters. And that’s what I’m heading to go about in this fishing report.

I really like saltwater fishing but, I like any variety of fish pulling on my line salt or clean and this time of yr you can catch some actually good refreshing h2o fish. I have run a handful of clean drinking water trips in the final couple of weeks with some pretty good accomplishment we even obtained a couple of quite good bass on a fly rod early previous week that went just above six lbs. Fishing nearby lakes, ponds and the Northeast Cape Dread River has been generating great catches of huge-mouth bass. The very best baits currently have been Berkley Powerbait 5” Sinkworms in colours green pumpkin/watermelon, black with red flake and watermelon. I’m rigging these worms Texas and wacky fashion on 4/ extensive gap worm hooks. When we are casting the fly rod we are using six to 8 excess weight rods with floating line and eight to twelve pound tippets.

A single fish that has just been waiting for the h2o to warm up just a bit is the good’ole Redfish they are on the move and biting! We are viewing the Reds on the shallow mud and oyster flats now in good numbers. Capt Jeff Wolfe and I gave it a shot very last week and ended up with just about forty-five Redfish for the day. All the Reds hit Berkley Gulp 3” shrimp in shades normal and molting on 1/8oz and 1/4oz jig heads with 20 pound Stren tinted tannic fluorocarbon leader. There have been a number of universities of Reds around the regional inlets and just off the seashores if we can get the climate to go get them!

The Cape Worry River Stripers are biting from time to time it received a tiny chilly for them but with this great warm up they should start off biting. The Stripers are hitting Berkley gulp jerk shad 5” in colors pearl, new penny and electric chicken. We rig the jerk shad Texas style, with a large five/ worm hook. Rapala X-raps function as well, in hues glass ghost and green back again. Don’t forget, nonetheless function the lures slow for the h2o is warming up but it’s even now a little cold.
