Spring Fishing Inshore Wrightsville Beach (4/05/2007)

A few trout are biting artificials and live shrimp at the jetties and up the creeks. A rare small flounder might hit anything, but the big boys have not come in yet. Look for redfish and black drum action to pick very soon.

Big Trout Biting Well (12/14/2006)
[Wrightsville Beach,NC] Fish are still biting...my last report this year. The Rod-Man is out of the water until next season. We are adding a trolling motor to the boat and some other neat "customizations" I know you will enjoy. Even though I have been "out of the water", I have been keeping up with what's happening on the fishing scene.

We have been catching fish on GULP SW, live shrimp, dead mullet.

Fall Fishing Wrightsville Beach Report (10/12/2006)
[Wrightsville Beach,NC] Fall fishing is hot! And with the coming cool snap will get hotter!!! Red drum, puppy drum, redfish, you pick the name, they are biting. You can find them in the inlets, the waterway, and the creeks. Finger mullet fished on a carolina rig is working best. Flounder are biting in the inlets and some real nice ones are being caught. A few specks have shown up and look for that to improve very quickly.
