North Carolina Saltwater Fishing Reports
Great fishing across the coast of NC again this week. Offshore anglers have filled their boxes with big gaffer dolphin, tuna and a few wahoo. Some anglers are continuing to catch and release a variety of billfish. Closer to shore anglers are still picking up Spanish Mackerel, and limited catches of Cobia. Inshore, there are catches of small black drum and slot red drum, along with speckled trout and flounder. Good luck on the water!
