The nearshore fishing has improved durastically over the past week. We worked the offshore waters of Carolina Beach today and found the Spanish Mackeral have arrived and in good numbers and size. In an hour and a half we boated over 20 spanish and easily as many blues. The fish were all good keepers and the Spanish ranged up to 6 lbs. The blues were all about 2 to 3 lbs and put up a good fight. These fish can be caught casting or trolling through them. They will show up in better numbers as the weeks increase, but they are here good enough now that they can be fished for specifically. The trout are still sticking around, but there are not that many. Flounder are offshore, but moving in, and should be found in a few weeks around the nearshore wrecks. The next big thing we are waiting for is the Cobia. They should be showing up at any time and will put up a great fight and some of the best table fare that saltwater fishing has to offer. Call us to book your trip today.
