Affordable Charters Fishing Report

There have been some gray trout, a few Virginia mullet, & small black bass right off the beach, at John’s creek, & high rock.

Inshore the fishing is getting better also. A few small red drum, speckled trout, & black drum & Virginia mullet. If you like fishing for Virginia mullet go to the mouth of the Cape Fear River. We have had some good catches last week. They are not very big, but very good eating size at about a pound apiece.

The piers will be opening soon so we will start having pier reports.

Fishing tip of the week: For those of you with boats be sure to check your battery connections. Take a small wire brush & clean the terminals & wire connections. I do this every six months. Keep fishing & be safe.

At the mouth of the Cape Fear River some Virginia mullet are showing up. The piers will reopen on Easter weekend.

Fishing tip of the week: There is a new bait & tackle shop in town. It was formally known as Seagull Bait & Tackle. Now it will be called Carolina One Stop Bait & Tackle Shop located at 608 Lake Park Blvd just south of the Carolina Beach lake. They will have a full line of inshore & offshore fishing accessories, all your bait needs, as well as snacks, drinks, etc. So stop by & check them out. Keep fishing & stay safe.
