Carolina Explorer Coastal Fishing Report

Off the coast the fishing has been good, plenty of action. We are catching lots of Sea Bass and Sharks on cut bait. The Sharks are the Spiny Dogfish, which are great eating, it is what they make fish and chips out of in England. Great tasting white meat and easy to fry up. You can catch the sharks until your arms get sore, lots of fun. I always make sure you catch fish and have a great time. If you book a coastal trip with me and we get blown out, we can always fish inshore where it is calm. Now is the time to book your Winter Carolina Beach fishing charter.
