Shark fishing is heating up in a big way right now off the Carolina coast. We’re seeing increasing numbers of big sand sharks, spiny dogfish, bull sharks, tiger sharks, and other reef sharks moving into the area, and the action has been nonstop. The best part about shark fishing this time of year is you don’t have to wait for a perfect bite window. These fish are feeding aggressively and will hit throughout the day, giving anglers a great shot at steady action and some serious drag-screaming runs. Whether it’s your first shark trip or you’re looking to battle something with real power, these fish absolutely deliver. With massive bait schools along the beaches and warmer water continuing to push in, the shark bite should only continue getting better from now into summer. These trips are hands-on, exciting, and guaranteed to leave you with a lasting memory and some incredible photos. If you’re looking for bent rods, adrenaline, and a trip you’ll be talking about long after it’s over, now is the perfect time to get out shark fishing.

Spring fishing is firing on all cylinders right now here off the Carolina coast. Gulf Stream trips have been producing consistent wahoo as water temps creep into the high 70s, and mahi are officially starting to show up regularly with catches on our last two stream trips. Bottom fishing offshore has also been strong with plenty of grouper and snapper, and the bigger amberjacks are beginning to arrive — and they’ll only continue getting larger as we move toward peak summer fishing. The biggest challenge lately hasn’t been the fishing — it’s been the weather. Offshore opportunities have depended heavily on finding the right weather windows, so when the ocean lays down, it’s time to go. Closer to the beach, nearshore fishing continues to stay very productive. Shark numbers are increasing daily, black sea bass are still around in solid numbers, and gray trout, red drum, and Spanish mackerel are keeping rods bent. The Spanish bite has been best around sunrise, although fish are still being caught throughout the day. King mackerel are also beginning to show up bigger and bigger nearshore, with reports of 30- and even 40-pound fish being caught right off the beach. Pogies are everywhere right now, mullet will be arriving soon, and from now through late June and into early July, fishing is heating up across the board — nearshore, offshore, and all the way out in the Gulf Stream. If you’ve been thinking about getting out on the water, now’s the time. Let’s go put some fish in the box.

The coastal bite is continuing to build in a big way here along the North Carolina coast, and some of the best fishing of the year is right on the horizon. The shark fishing is about to really fire off, with warmer water and massive schools of bait pushing down the beaches. If you’ve been wanting to battle big fish, now is the time to get on the calendar. Nearshore, we’re seeing bigger and bigger king mackerel showing up every week, along with solid numbers of Spanish mackerel feeding aggressively just off the beach. Pogies are absolutely everywhere right now, and the mullet run is starting to build behind them. With this much bait moving through the area, predator fish are stacked up and feeding hard. A little further offshore, the action has been extremely consistent. We’ve been regularly limiting out on king mackerel and black sea bass, with plenty of action throughout the trip. The offshore bite is shaping up nicely as water temperatures continue to improve. For crews looking to make the run out to the Gulf Stream, the variety of species available right now is hard to beat. Wahoo, mahi, tuna, snapper, and grouper are all in the mix, and every trip has the potential to turn into a true mixed-bag fishery. The fishing is only getting better from here, and the next few weeks are setting up to be some of the strongest action we’ve seen so far this season. Tight lines!

Spanish mackerel are moving in thick right now and are stacked just off the beach, creating fast-paced action on nearshore trips. Gray trout are still biting strong, red drum are feeding consistently, and bigger kingfish are starting to show up in better numbers. Bait is finally pushing in, which is only going to keep improving the bite over the coming weeks. Offshore, the black sea bass bite has been extremely consistent, and we’re picking up kingfish on every trip. Pushing out into the Gulf Stream, we’re seeing quality vermilion snapper, grouper on the bottom and solid wahoo and mahi showing up when trilling fither out. Fishing is heating up across the board—whether you want nonstop nearshore action or to chase bigger fish offshore, now’s a prime time to get on the water.

Offshore fishing has been nothing short of amazing, with nonstop action on kingfish while trolling and loads of very big black sea bass on the bottom. Every trip offshore has been producing steady action and quality fish. Nearshore, Atlantic bonito are still running thick, with birds diving and fish actively feeding. Gray trout are biting strong, and both black sea bass and black drum are also running very strong right now, making for consistent action close to the beach. Over the next few weeks, we’ll start to see Spanish mackerel showing up nearshore, followed by bigger kingfish pushing in as the water continues to warm. The next 6 to 8 weeks are shaping up to be some of the best fishing of the entire year, whether you’re heading nearshore or offshore. Book a trip with us and we’ll put you on a load of fish.

Nearshore action is hot: Atlantic bonito are close, grey trout are plentiful, and red drum plus sea bass are showing in numbers. Every nearshore trip has strong potential. Offshore: This weekend offers perfect conditions from Saturday to Monday. Kingfish are reachable offshore. In the Gulf Stream, the bite is on fire: wahoo, tuna, mahi, and multiple snapper species. Sunday is a rare prime window. No matter the trip, from nearshore to the Gulf Stream, this is the time to be on the water—plenty of fish are running.
