Mid-October Fishing Report

Okt 9, 2025 Wilmington

As we hit mid-October, the local fishing scene is really coming alive. Here’s what you need to know: Inshore and Nearshore Updates: • Bait Situation: You’ll notice mullet starting to thin out, especially on the ocean side. In the rivers, you’ll still find a few, but as a substitute, live shrimp is your go-to bait right now. • Speckled Trout: The speckled trout run is in full swing inside the jetties. It’s a fantastic time to target them, and using live shrimp is really paying off. If you can get out past the jetty, you’ll also find some great trout spots offshore. • Mackerel and Kingfish: Spanish mackerel are still hanging around, and kingfish will be nearshore for the next month or so. Offshore and Gulf Stream: • Wahoo and Tuna Action: The Gulf Stream is heating up, literally. It’s extremely hot with wahoo and tuna action really picking up. As we move deeper into the cooler months, trolling is only going to get better as that warmth consolidates and the fish stay active. Final Tips: Overall, it’s shaping up to be a great season ahead. Just keep an eye on the weather, as your targeting options will depend on those good weather days. But right now, things look fantastic, especially for those speckled trout inshore.

Fall Fishing Report

Sep 24, 2025 Wilmington

Hey anglers! The fall bite is on fire right now, and we’re seeing some fantastic action both nearshore and offshore. Nearshore Action: • The king mackerel are still running strong and should continue their run through the end of October and even into November. Live bluefish are your ticket to hooking those bigger kings. • Red drum are also on a hot streak through the end of October. As we move into winter, they’ll push into the shallower backwaters to stay warm, so there’s plenty of good drum action ahead. • Speckled trout season is upon us, and the specks are showing up in good numbers. Great time to target them! • Mullet are starting to thin out a bit, but there’s still plenty around to keep the predators interested. Offshore Highlights: • Offshore fishing is heating up with plenty of wahoo and tuna being caught as close as 30 miles out. The albacore bite is absolutely everywhere right now—just head out about 5 miles and you’ll find them hitting every few minutes. • The offshore bite is pretty consistent year-round if you pick the right weather windows. It can get choppier in winter, but there’s still great pelagic and bottom fishing on those calmer days. In short, it’s looking like a fantastic few months ahead. Whether you’re sticking close to shore or heading offshore, there’s plenty of action to be had. Tight lines!

Hey anglers! Here’s the latest scoop on what’s biting around here. The inshore action is looking good, especially if you time your trips around the right tides. With the mullet run in full swing, live bait is easy to come by, and we’re seeing plenty of drum, flounder (though you can’t keep them right now), black sea bass, and even some surprise sharks on almost every trip. The fish are a bit scattered this time of year, but hitting the morning or evening tides is the key to a strong bite. If you venture a little further offshore, the fishing is fantastic, especially at first light if you’re after pelagics. The Gulf Stream is good year-round, with summer months offering excellent bottom fishing. As we head into September, October, and November, expect the pelagic bite to really heat up with tuna and wahoo making a strong run. Nearshore, we’re also gearing up for a fantastic Spanish mackerel season along with speckled trout, gray trout, black drum, sheepshead, and redfish. We have been cst hing a lot if doormat size founder latly and the season for this uear rund from september 1–14. This is truly one of the best times of the year for both nearshore and offshore action. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, now’s the perfect time! Shoot me a message or book directly, and we’ll get you out there for some great fishing.

Nearshore fishing report 8/1/25

Aug 7, 2025 Wilmington

Closer to shore, we’ve had some incredible action as well. The nearshore waters have been full of life, big baracudas and flounder being particularly abundant. We’ve also had some thrilling encounters with large tiger sharks; one of them was about nine feet long, and we got it right up to the boat before it broke off. The mullet run has been the thickest we’ve seen all season, which means bigger predators, like Spanish mackerel, are following close behind. This fall promises to bring even more fantastic fishing opportunities, so now’s the perfect time to book your next adventure!

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (Mid Day)

Solid Trip! Gabe Knows His Stuff!

Went out with Captain Gabe for a 4-hour inshore trip and had an awesome time. Super chill guy, but also really knowledgeable, you can tell he’s been doing this a while. He put us right on the fish within the first 30 minutes. Caught a mix of snook and mangrove snapper, and even hooked into a nice redfish. Boat was clean, gear was solid, and Gabe was super patient showing my buddy (first-timer) how to cast and handle the rod. If you’re looking for a no-BS fishing trip with a captain who... Meer

Conditions were a bit too challenging to get offshore. Captain Gabe had a great back up plan and we caught fish non-stop. Great day on the water!

It was my son’s 15th birthday fishing trip with the boys. Captain did his best to get us on the fish. It was choppy and rough. We caught several out of season flounder, toadfish, and a skate. We had a few nice redfish but lost them due to our own inadequacies. Good trip, thanks guys

Sunrise fishing trip!

Absolutely loved this experience! The sunrise was stunning, the water was calm, and our guide was fantastic, super knowledgeable and friendly. We caught plenty of fish and learned a lot. Totally worth the early wake-up. We booked a half day, near shore charter and the kids had a blast catching Spanish mackerel and Gabe even cleaned our catch, while we had lunch at a restaurant on the water. Thanks again! I will be recommending you to friends!

Captain Gabriel and his crew are amazing, very knowledgeable and experienced. They worked hard to put us on fish and we even hooked onto a huge amberjack a few miles offshore! A great day of fishing and definitely booking with them again for my next charter!
