Fall Fishing Report
Fall Fishing Report
Sep 24, 2025 Wilmington
Hey anglers! The fall bite is on fire right now, and weโ€™re seeing some fantastic action both nearshore and offshore. Nearshore Action: โ€ข 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. โ€ข Red drum are also on a hot streak through the end of October. As we move into winter, theyโ€™ll push into the shallower backwaters to stay warm, so thereโ€™s plenty of good drum action ahead. โ€ข Speckled trout season is upon us, and the specks are showing up in good numbers. Great time to target them! โ€ข Mullet are starting to thin out a bit, but thereโ€™s still plenty around to keep the predators interested. Offshore Highlights: โ€ข 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 nowโ€”just head out about 5 miles and youโ€™ll find them hitting every few minutes. โ€ข The offshore bite is pretty consistent year-round if you pick the right weather windows. It can get choppier in winter, but thereโ€™s still great pelagic and bottom fishing on those calmer days. In short, itโ€™s looking like a fantastic few months ahead. Whether youโ€™re sticking close to shore or heading offshore, thereโ€™s plenty of action to be had. Tight lines!
