  • Catching the Fall Bite Off North Carolina's Vibrant Atlantic Fishing Scene

    Catching the Fall Bite Off North Carolina's Vibrant Atlantic Fishing Scene
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina is vibrant, despite the cooling temperatures. Here’s what you need to know for today’s fishing trip:

    **Weather and Tides:**
    A high pressure ridge is building into the Carolinas, but another front is expected mid-week. Today, expect northwest winds around 10 to 15 knots, with seas ranging from 3 to 5 feet. The tidal conditions will see moderate chop in adjacent sounds and rivers, with waves generally 1 to 3 feet[3].

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM.

    **Fish Activity:**
    The fish activity has been robust, especially with the cooling water temperatures. Inshore anglers are seeing a pickup in speckled trout action, particularly around deeper bridges and areas like the Haystacks or Newport River. Live shrimp or soft plastics under popping corks are working well for speckled trout and red drum. Red drum are also hitting live shrimp or mullet on a Carolina rig, especially around oyster rocks and creek mouths[1][5].

    **Deep Water and Nearshore:**
    Anglers fishing deep water areas around the Port and bridges are catching gray trout and bluefish. Stingsilvers, Beach Bum lures, or other glass minnow style jigs are highly effective. King mackerel are in the 50-75 foot depth range, with live bait outproducing other lures. You might also catch some blackfin tuna and wahoo in these areas using the same slow-trolled live baits[1].

    **Beachfront and Cape Lookout:**
    The false albacore bite has been red hot along the beachfronts and near the shoals off Cape Lookout. Anglers are having success casting into surface-feeding frenzies using Albie Snax, Beach Bum lures, and Hogy Epoxy lures. Bluefish are also abundant around the inlets and off Cape Lookout[1].

    **Hot Spots:**
    - **Cape Lookout:** For false albacore and bluefish.
    - **Nearshore Reefs:** Such as AR-315 and AR-320 for gray trout and king mackerel.
    - **Haystacks and Newport River:** For speckled trout.
    - **Oyster Rocks and Creek Mouths:** For red drum.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    - **Lures:** Stingsilvers, Beach Bum lures, Albie Snax, and Hogy Epoxy lures.
    - **Bait:** Live shrimp, live or cut mullet, and slow-trolled live baits for king mackerel and other species.

    With these conditions and tips, you should have a productive and enjoyable fishing trip in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina today.

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy: Trout, Drum, and Albies Off the Carolina Coast

    Fall Fishing Frenzy: Trout, Drum, and Albies Off the Carolina Coast
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, particularly around Atlantic Beach, is buzzing with activity.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sun rose at 6:47 AM and will set at 4:58 PM, giving us about 10 hours and 11 minutes of daylight. The tidal coefficient is relatively low at 44, indicating moderate tides. The first low tide was at 4:47 AM with 0.5 ft, and the first high tide was at 11:18 AM with 4.1 ft. The next low tide will be at 6:09 PM with 0.7 ft, and the next high tide will be at 11:49 PM with 3.2 ft[4].

    ### Fish Activity
    The cooler water temperatures have really fired up the fish activity. Inshore anglers are seeing a significant pickup in speckled trout action, especially around deeper bridges and areas like the Haystacks or Newport River. These trout are hitting both live baits and artificial lures, with soft plastics under popping corks or rigged on a jig head being particularly effective[1][5].

    Red drum are also plentiful, with live shrimp or live/cut mullet being the go-to baits. Targeting oyster rocks and other structures near creek mouths has been yielding good results[1][5].

    Off the beach, the false albacore bite has been red hot. Anglers are finding acres of these fish feeding out around Cape Lookout, and they are most willing to hit fly setups or smaller metal jigs like Albie Snax, Beach Bum lures, and Hogy Epoxy lures. Riding around and casting into surface-feeding frenzies has been the most successful tactic[1].

    Deep water areas around the Port and bridges are producing gray trout and a bunch of bluefish. Stingsilvers, Beach Bum lures, or other glass minnow style jigs are having the most success here[1].

    King mackerel have started moving off the beach and are now over nearshore structures, with some blackfin tuna and wahoo mixed in. These species are hitting the same slow-trolled live baits used for kings[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For speckled trout, use soft plastics under popping corks or rigged on a jig head. For red drum, live shrimp or live/cut mullet are the best choices. For false albacore, go with fly setups or smaller metal jigs like Albie Snax, Beach Bum lures, and Hogy Epoxy lures. For gray trout and bluefish, Stingsilvers, Beach Bum lures, or other glass minnow style jigs are recommended[1].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Cape Lookout**: This area is teeming with false albacore and is a hotspot for surface-feeding frenzies.
    - **Haystacks or Newport River**: These deeper bridge areas and backwaters are where speckled trout are staging up.
    - **Nearshore reefs**: Areas like the Big 10/Little 10 are good for king mackerel, blackfin tuna, and wahoo.
    - **Oyster rocks and creek mouths**: These are prime spots for red drum[1][5].

    Overall, the fishing is excellent right now, with a nice variety of fish available in good numbers. Make sure to check the weather forecast and tidal conditions before you head out, as these can significantly impact your fishing trip.

  • Vibrant Fishing Scene Off North Carolina's Atlantic Coast - Tidal Movements, Fish Activity, and Top Lures/Bait

    Vibrant Fishing Scene Off North Carolina's Atlantic Coast - Tidal Movements, Fish Activity, and Top Lures/Bait
    Nov 17 2024
    As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina is quite vibrant, despite the cooling temperatures.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sun rose at around 6:40 AM and will set at about 5:02 PM, giving us a good 10 hours and 21 minutes of daylight. The tidal coefficient is high, indicating significant tidal movements, which can be beneficial for fishing. High tides are expected at around 5:36 PM, and low tides at 11:42 AM and 11:39 PM[4].

    The weather is somewhat chilly, with air temperatures ranging from 58 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and water temperatures hovering around 62 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Winds are moderate, coming from the north at about 11 knots[5].

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a variety of fish being caught in these waters. In the surf zone, anglers caught bluefish, Spanish mackerel, sea mullet, and even some speckled trout. The pompano and sea mullet were particularly active, with many caught using sand fleas and sand flea-flavored Fishbites[2].

    Red drum are still active, especially around the ICW docks and jetties, where cut finger mullet on Carolina rigs or jig heads have been effective. Speckled trout are starting to show up in the creeks, particularly during falling tides, and are hitting soft plastics, MirrOlures, and shrimp imitations[2].

    Spanish mackerel and false albacore are present near the inlets and beaches, with trolling spoons and sight casting to surface-feeding frenzies yielding good results. King mackerel are moving offshore as the water cools down, but can still be found in the 5-10 mile range[2][3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For red drum, using fresh cut or live menhaden or mullet on Carolina rigs with circle hooks is highly recommended. Artificial lures like Gulp Shrimp on 1/8oz or 1/4oz Fusion Jigheads are also effective, especially in the early mornings or late afternoons. Topwater plugs like MirrOlure Top Dog Jr’s or Top Pup’s work well along marsh grass lines and shallow oyster rocks[1].

    For speckled trout, shrimp imitations on 1/2 oz jig heads, such as D.O.A. or Vudu, are working well in deeper areas. Slowly working these baits around current seams off oyster bars has been particularly successful[2].

    For Spanish mackerel and false albacore, small spoons like Big Nic Spanish candies on light spinning tackle are effective. High-speed spinning reels can significantly increase the number of bites[1].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is around the ICW docks, where red drum and black drum are being caught consistently. The jetties are also producing good results for red drum, especially on the incoming tides[2].

    The creeks, particularly those closer to the inlets, are starting to see a decent speckled trout bite. Targeting areas around the inlet and creek mouths during falling tides can yield good results[2].

    Offshore, the 5-10 mile range is good for king mackerel, and those venturing further out are finding some good wahoo action, with fish in the 30-40 lb range[2].
