Coastal Fishing Report 09/02/10   


The fall fishing just off the Carolina Beach coast is great. We are catching lots of bluefish and spanish mackerel when the wind and seas are calm. At times they are busting on top so we can cast spoons, or troll. The gray trout and flounder have been biting good just off the beach. We are using live bait for them, but they will bit jigs. The big sharks are off the beach if you want a really big fish on you line. The fishing is here, where are you? If you are looking for a great time on the water with friends and family, now is the time to book your fall Carolina Beach fishing charter. Start thinking about a great Fall fishing trip as well.
