Charlie\'s Charters Fishing Report

Water temps are in the 80s and the fishing has been great with nice catches of Flounder, Speckled Trout and Red Drum using live bait on a Carolina Rig.  Live bait is still everywhere and Finger Mullet should start showing up anytime, I can’t wait.  We’ve been catching Flounder all along the ICW and Carolina Beach Inlet.  The Speckled Trout bite is still good along the Cape Fear River using live Shrimp on float rigs and artificial DOAs.

Red Drum are showing up along the dock’s in the ICW and Carolina Beach Inlet with some nice sizes, remember you are only allowed one fish per person per day (must be 18″ – 27″ long) but what a fight they put on.

Right offshore the Spanish Mackerel are showing up in good numbers, what a blast to sight cast to.  There have also been some nice King’s mixed in with the Spanish.

Shark fishing is just around the corner so if you want a fight they will be more than glad to give you one that you won’t forget.

So grab the kids and let’s go fishing.

Check out the pictures from this past weeks fishing.

Carolina Beach fishing is finely starting to turn on with live bait everywhere.  Despite the boat traffic on Memorial Day Weekend I was finally able to take my family out and catch some really nice Red Fish.  Speckled Trout are biting really well in the Cape Fear River, also catching some nice Flounder in the ICW/Carolina Beach Inlet along with lots of Blue Fish.  Near shore we are starting to see some nice size Spanish Mackerel with some Kings mixed in.
