The Dolphin Bite off Topsail Beach, NC continues to be very good. Dolphin have been caught as close as 10nm this week, however, the better bite still seems to be in the 20-25nm range in the clearer, bluer water. They can be caught slow trolling live or dead cigar minnows, live menhadden or fast trolling with ballyhoo and squid. I have been having the best results on ballyhoo rigged with small pink/white islanders and natural squid on the end of a squid daisy chain.
King Mackerel, Amber Jack and False Albacore are biting as well. Cobia have been caught on live Menhadden and Bluefish near the jetties at Wrightsville Beach. The fish average 30lbs, but fish up to 77lbs have been caught this past week.
Inshore, Flounder fishing is picking up. Most of the fish being caught are small, but there are some keepers to be had. The Speckled Trout are still biting in the Cape Fear River. Though not as many have been reported, some nice fish have been caught. Sheepshead and Black Drum are being caught as well.
Summer fishing is at it's best. Give me a call and book your trip today.
Tight lines!!
