Offshore fishing
Offshore fishing, on top there have been reports of small king mackerel, wahoo and some black fin.
On the bottom, there have been reports of black bass and some grouper. Near shore there are still some gray trout, Virginia mullet and small black bass.
The waterways and basin are still producing some speckled trout, red drum and a few flounder are starting to bite.
In the river, some black drum are starting to bite. A few red drum, croakers, Virginia mullet, small black bass, shark, stingrays and skates.
Kure Beach pier will be opening up next week, so I will try to have a pier report ready.
Keep fishing and stay safe.
