Brief Charter Fishing Overview: For all of our Beaches we fish: Wrightsville Beach Fishing Charters including Carolina Beach, Topsail Beach, Wilmington and Surf City Fishing Charters have been progressively improved over the past week the Fall Fish begin to show up, namely: big over-slot red drum, Big Black Seabass, Lots of Barracudas and Sharks, Big Offshore Flounder and the Cobia migrating back south into our waters from the Pamlico Sound.
Nearshore and Offshore for Fishing Charters: This time of year we are focusing on many species including big offshore flounder, triggerfish, grey trout the massive schools of Spanish Mackerel that are following the bait into our nearshore waters.
Our Tactics for Offshore/ Nearshore Fishing are numerous and include:

-Deep Diver YoZuri Lures for high-speed F. Albacore Trolling
-Plainer Rigs with Clark Spoons for “meat-fishing Spanish Mackerel”
-Jigging with Diamond Jigs, Butterfly Jigs and “Home Made” glow Jigs
-Hank Brown rigs for dead cigar minnow trolling: For King Mackerel
Inshore Fishing Charters:This time of year the bigger flounder and drum move into feed on the massive schools of mullet and menhaden that have arrived. We are focusing on Big Flounder with large mullet drifting the inlets using Carolina rigs. Smaller flounder are being caught on jigheads with artificials (gulp shrimp) fished in the creeks and backwaters. Our Red Drum are keyed in on large Menhaden on Carolina Rigs and Diamond Jigs drifting the inlets.
Inshore Fishing Tactics:
-Carolina Rigs with 4/0 circle hooks and 30lb fluorocarbon leader
