Commonly referred to as Red Drum, Puppy Drum, Channel Bass or Spot-tail Bass. Probably one of North Carolina's most sought after fish, the Redfish can be caught several ways. When conditions permit, reds can be seen in shallow water estuaries giving the accurate flycaster or spinfishermen opportunities at North Carolina's prized state fish! When the Redfish have left the shallows we also offer live bait trips in deeper water areas proven to hold fish.
Bonito visit our coast during April and May and provide excellent light tackle action for these speedsters! Most Bonito are caught within 3 miles of the beach giving both the flycaster or spinfisherman an exciting way to usher in the spring season.
Similar to Bonito but larger, False Albacore have made decent appearances off the Cape Fear coast in late November and early December. A blast on light tackle or the flyrod.
When the Bluefish are here you can expect fast action. Spring and fall provides the best time of year. During their "blitzes" and aggressive feeding periods bait selection is not important.
From spring through fall, the Flounder is one of our most sought after fish! Live bait trips provide the best chance at landing one of these tasteful treats!
Spanish Mackerel arrive in the spring and stay until fall! They can be caught numerous ways from trolling, casting artificials from spinning tackle, light-lining live menhaden baits or casting flys to breaking fish. Excellent table fare and very abundant.
King Mackerel are excellent fighters on light tackle gear. Most kings are caught trolling the offshore structure and wrecks.
Speckled Trout is one of North Carolina's favorite species. These fish can be caught basically year-round but spring and fall present the best opportunity. The brackish water of the Cape Fear is the place to be!
Recent years has seen a strong resurgence in the Gray Trout. Most Gray Trout are caught in the Cape Fear region in deeper water over live bottom areas within 3 miles of the beach.
