Wrightsville Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report

Hi Folks,
Excellent fishing going on around and off of Wrightsville Beach. Water temps in the low 70's and southerly winds make for great fishing. Hers's my report:
INSHORE: Plenty of reds and some good numbers of flounder. Live bait is plentiful. Artificials are working well too.
Near Shore: Spanish and blues continue to offer themselves up to deep divers and clarkspoons. Cobia are around in the many schools of menhaden.
Offshore: King mackerel are biting cigar minnows and deep divers for 7 to 25 miles out. Some bonito are joining in the fun.
Gulfstream: A strong mahi bite is happening with some billfish being taken as well.
Cape Fear River: Reds, flounder and trout are biting in the river. Live bait and artificials both doing well.
Upcomimg: Look for the mahi to move closer to shore as the waters heat up. Larger flounder should come around soon.
Until Next Time...LETS GO FISHING!!!
