Offshore top water king mackerel, & Spanish mackerel. On the bottom red & gag grouper, grunts, snapper, black bass, pinkies & ringtail.

Fishing tip of the week: It’s that time of year when the shrimp are heading out so it’s a good time to start fishing at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Gray trout are starting to show up as well as whiting & blowfish. I have found fishing the falling tide produces the best catch. Keep fishing & stay safe
