Affordable Charters Fishing Report

Inshore red drum, speckled trout, a few gray trout, some small Virginia mullet, striped bass, catfish, some small black bass, tautog, sheepshead, & black drum.

On the surf speckled trout, red drum, Virginia mullet, & bluefish.

Piers are closed for the winter so no report until spring when they reopen.

Fishing tip of the week: Speckled trout fishing is a lot of fun. They can be very finicky at times. If you catch 2 or 3 trout and then they stop biting, try switching to different combinations of lures. This strategy worked well for me this past week. The Brunswick river has some nice size speckled trout & striped bass around the bridge. Keep fishing & stay safe.

In the surf still a few puppy drum, Virginia mullet, speckled trout, & bluefish.

Inshore speckled trout, red drum, black bass, gray trout, & Virginia mullet.

Offshore very windy this past week. No report.

Fishing tip of the week: The water temperature is around 50 degrees now inshore. It has dropped fast in the past few days due to temperatures dropping in the teen’s & twenty’s. The fish will be a little lethargic. If you’re fishing with lures, slow down your presentation & fish in shallower water. Keep fishing and stay safe.
