  • 'Fishing Frenzy Off North Carolina's Coast: A Seasonal Bounty'
    Nov 7 2024
    As of November 7, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina is buzzing with activity. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sun rises at 7:14 AM and sets at 6:29 PM. The tidal cycle is quite active, with high tides at 7:23 AM (5.2 ft) and 7:47 PM (4.6 ft), and low tides at 1:06 AM (-0.4 ft) and 1:49 PM (-0.4 ft).

    The water temperature has been slowly dropping, currently around 72 to 73 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for many species.

    ### Fish Activity
    The fall season is in full swing, and the fish are responding well to the cooler waters. Yesterday saw a mix of species being caught. Red drum, both slot and over-slot, were active, particularly in the inshore areas and around the inlets. Live mullet on the bottom during the falling tide has been a successful tactic.

    Speckled trout are also on the rise, with numbers being strong when fishing live shrimp under floats in cleaner and clearer water conditions, especially during the rising tide.

    Nearshore anglers were catching plenty of Spanish mackerel and bluefish off the beaches, with some false albacore starting to appear in the 5-mile area.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For speckled trout, live shrimp under floats, artificial shrimp imitations, soft plastics, and MirrOlures with brighter color patterns are working well.

    For red drum, live or cut mullet has been the best bait option. Cut pogies are also effective for the nearshore bull red drum.

    For Spanish mackerel and bluefish, using live baits or trolling with dead cigar minnows can entice strikes.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots is around the inlets, where anglers are catching over-slot red drum on both live and cut baits. The Ocean Isle Beach Fishing Pier is another productive spot, with anglers catching a mix of red drum, black drum, and flounder.

    For those venturing further offshore, the 50-60 foot range is good for king mackerel, and towards the end of November, look out in the 80-100 foot range. The Gulf Stream is also producing good catches of blackfin tuna and wahoo.

    In summary, today promises to be an excellent day for fishing in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, with a variety of species active and the right conditions to make your trip memorable.

    Nov 3 2024
    As of November 3, 2024, the fishing scene in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina is looking promising. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect mild temperatures with the air temperature around 73 degrees and the water temperature at about 70 degrees. The winds are light, coming from the northeast at around 10 knots. For tides, the high tide is at 6:43 a.m. and 7:05 p.m., with the low tide at 12:36 p.m. Sunrise is at 6:43 a.m., and sunset will be at 5:05 p.m.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity from various fish species. Red drum, speckled trout, and black drum are making strong appearances. Bluefish and spanish mackerel are also plentiful, with most bluefish in the 2-4 lb. range. Sea mullet, pompano, and even some larger sheepshead are being caught as well.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For speckled trout, topwater plugs, hard suspending lures, and soft plastics are working well, especially around creek mouths and current lines. Red drum are hitting live shrimp, cut bait, and artificials, with topwaters effective in the mornings and sight casting on sand and mud flats later in the day. Black drum are being caught using fresh shrimp on a Carolina rig, particularly around oyster bars and deep creek holes. For sheepshead, live fiddler crabs or mud crabs around docks and hard structures are the way to go.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the Cape Fear River, particularly the southern end, where speckled trout and red drum are active. The Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) around the Carolina Beach Inlet is also producing good results, especially during outgoing tides. For those targeting sheepshead, the docks near Snows Cut and any hard structure in the Cape Fear River are good bets.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water in North Carolina, with a variety of species available and favorable conditions. Make sure to get your gear ready and take advantage of these prime fishing opportunities.
