Carolina Explorer Charters Fishing Report

We have been busy catching fish, not updating the report, sorry for the delay.  Inshore we have had great action with redfish on live baits and lures.  On the good days catching double digit numbers on the redfish is not uncommon. The flounder and a few trout have been cooperating as well making inshore slams a regular occurance.  Look at the pics, lots of kids catching trophy fish, so easy you can do it.  Just give me a call at 910-264-1807 and let me guide you to a great day on the water. 

Just off the beach, plenty of spanish mackerel, flounder, gray trout, and huge sharks.  If you want a big tug on the line, then shark fishing is for you.  Most days if the shrimp boats are out, we can catch big sharks until your arms get sore.  These fish are all over 50lbs and a reel challenge on light tackle. If you want a battle this action is for you….

Sorry for the delay, but I have been busy fishing not typing on the computer.  The fishing over the past few weeks fishing has been tough at its best.  We have had strong southwest winds, choppy seas, and muddy water.  Even in these conditions we have had great days on the water and caught a few fish as well. 

The past few days have seen great fishing. The wind changed directions and the fish started to bite.  We have been catching redfish, flounder, trout, spanish, sharks, and whatever else will pull our string.  We have caught fish using artificial lures or soaking live bait.  I come prepared to do whatever it takes to get you catching fish, Just short of dynamite or gill net.  

Check out the pics and see what you and your family or friends might catch.

Noah and crew with redfish and flounder, so easy your kids can do it.  Can you?

This shark is almost as big as her smile.  Great action for kids young and old.

We caught about 20 nice gray trout this day.  We caught our limit and did the ole catch and release to the rest.  Great fun on light tackle.

Even in the rain and wind the smile tells it all.
