    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a mix of exciting catches. Anglers reported catching bluefish, Spanish mackerel, sea mullet, and speckled trout. Red drum, both puppy drum and older drum, have been active as well.
    Flounder and black drum are also making appearances, particularly around the Ocean Isle and Holden Beach areas.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Notable catches include a 5 lb. 1 oz. albacore, several Spanish mackerel ranging from 2 to 3 lbs, and a 4 lb. 11 oz. puppy drum.
    Speckled trout, up to 2 lbs. 5 oz., and flounder, though mostly throwbacks, have been caught in the surf zone.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bluefish and Spanish mackerel, using metal jigs or spoons is highly effective. For speckled trout and red drum, soft plastics or live bait like shrimp or mullet work well.
    Bloodworms have been particularly successful for catching spots and other bottom feeders.

    Bogue Inlet Pier has been a hotspot for catching a variety of fish including pompano, sea mullet, and bluefish.
