The inshore fishing has remained steady over the past few weeks in Carolina Beach. The redfish are starting to spread out in their usual summer patterns. They are moving onto the flats and out into the main parts of the channel. We are catching them mostly with Gulp alive shrimp and gulp minnows on a 3/8 jig-head. I have also caught a few on top-waters and crank-baits. Lots of fun for beginners and pros alike. We have also been using shrimp or cut mullet when all else fails or we want a break from casting. The black drum and few flounder are being caught in with reds.
Just off the beach the action has been reel good with plenty of bluefish, a few Spanish, and a few bonito. We are catching the blues jigging Sea Striker Jig-fish spoons or casting them into fish on the surface. The Spanish and bonito have been mixed in there as well. We can also troll for these scrappy fighters as well.
