Wrightsville Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report
Hi Folks and Happy Memorial Day weekend.
Two things of importance: looks like we are going to have a pretty nice weekend and the fish are biting. I had a really nice couple today, fishing on their anniversary (her choice and what a lucky guy). We caught four flounder and one redfish.
Now here's my report:
Inshore: The flounder are biting pretty well in the inlets and the river Live menhaden has been the best bait and the incoming tide worked well for us today. Redfish are start to show but better numbers are coming just around the corner so to speak.
Near Shore: Some cobia sightings have been reported. Big chopper blues and "normal" size blues are biting well and the spanish bite is good as well.
Offshore: From the 12 mile areas to the Tower, the king mack bite is good. Favorite spots are the Schoolhouse and the 23 mile rock.
Gulfstream: Big mahi, wahoo and a few tuna have been reported. Some billfish activity is also happening.
I hope you have a chance to get on the water this weekend and I hope you will be safe and responsible. Until then....
LET'S GO FISHING!!!!

Wrightsville Beach Fishing Forecast:
Fishing is really turning on and with some good weather the bite will only get stronger.
