The early winter fishing has been good and should continue for the next few months. December, January, and February are great months to catch redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and striped bass on the Lower Cape Fear backwaters. Some of our better days fishing have come at this time of year. Less people on the water and less fishing pressure equal some awesome fishing opportunities in the winter months. Redfish are schooled up on the flats and in the creeks and the sightfishing has been good when conditions are right. Speckled Trout are spread out up and down the Cape Fear and are often mixed in with redfish and black drum. Finding all three together can provide us with some incredible action in small holes around low tide. Striped Bass, Redfish, and Speckled Trout can also be caught in the same areas on the Cape Fear River or Brunswick River near or around Downtown Wilmington.
Check out a few of the photos from the past couple of weeks.
Thanks,
