  • North Carolina May Fishing Blowout - Bonito, Spanish Macks, Reds & More Biting!

    North Carolina May Fishing Blowout - Bonito, Spanish Macks, Reds & More Biting!
    May 16 2025
    Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your North Carolina fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 16, 2025.

    Folks, the summer season is really kicking into high gear now! The Outer Banks just opened to visitors today, so expect those spots to get busy fast. Water temps have been hovering between 58 and 68 degrees, and that's bringing in all kinds of action.

    Nearshore fishing has been absolutely on fire lately! The Atlantic bonito bite continues strong in mid-May waters, and they're a blast to catch - fast, tasty, and they'll give your gear a workout. Spanish mackerel are showing up all month long, busting the surface and providing some real excitement. For these speedsters, I've been having great success with Big Nic Spanish Candy lures in sizes from 1/2oz up to the 1.5oz. High-speed spinning reels are getting more bites, but I've personally fallen in love with using high-speed low-profile bait-caster reels when casting to bonito and Spanish.

    Keep your eyes peeled because we're seeing some small king mackerel mixed in this year too - check those fish carefully for undersize kings!

    In the surf, black drum and big whiting are hitting well on shrimp and sand fleas. Some scattered red drum are taking cut bait. The ICW and river areas are producing sheepshead around hard structure, plus some speckled trout and red drum. Those reds have broken out of their winter schools early this year and spread throughout the area.

    For trout, try MirrOlure MR-17s that match the menhaden that are starting to show up. Topwater plugs are working too. For those reds, focus around the spoil islands and put your baits in ambush points like creeks and channels with out-flowing water as the tide falls. Carolina-rigged live pogies have been the ticket.

    Offshore action is delivering blackfin and yellowfin tuna, some wahoo, and the dolphin bite is strong. The folks at TW's Bait and Tackle in Nags Head have been reporting excellent yellowfin catches.

    Hot spots to check out? The nearshore reefs around Wrightsville Beach are producing great action, and the spoil islands near Carolina Beach are holding good numbers of red drum. Also worth noting - chopper blues are back! First ones since 2018 were caught this week, with an 11-pounder weighed in at Cape Lookout.

    For you grouper hunters, remember that shallow water grouper season opened on May 1 and runs through December 31.

    That's your report for today, May 16. Y'all get out there and wet a line - the fish are biting! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time!

  • North Carolina Coast Fishing Report: Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, and More Biting Strong

    North Carolina Coast Fishing Report: Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, and More Biting Strong
    May 14 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with the latest report for the North Carolina coast, Atlantic side, on this fine May 14th, 2025.

    The early May bite has really been heating up with the water temps rising and some stable days finally rolling in. The surf and nearshore action are both lively, with a mixed bag turning up for both inshore folks and those skipping out a little deeper. Sunrise today is right around 6:03 AM, and sunset’s coming at 8:06 PM. We’re in for a bright day with mild winds out of the southwest and just a few clouds—perfect conditions from dawn to dusk and especially during the high tide window, which is hitting mid-morning today[1][2][3].

    Out in the surf and along the boat docks, black drum are biting well, mostly on fresh shrimp. Folks casting from the beaches and piers are picking off blues, too, especially back in the sounds and along the inlet edges. The bluefish schools are holding tight and have been showing up pretty consistently, so bring along metal spoons or diamond jigs for the best shot[2][4].

    Nearshore, the showstoppers right now are Atlantic bonito and Spanish mackerel. They’re schooling up around artificial reefs, ledges, and the inlets. I’ve had great success and seen others hook up using Big Nic Spanish Candy lures, anything in the quarter to ounce-and-a-half range. Use high-speed reels to match their chase—these fish love a speedy retrieve. There’ve also been a fair number of false albacore and bluefish mixed in, with even some smaller king mackerel popping up—just double check your king size before tossing them in the cooler[3].

    If you’re more of a bait fisherman, you can’t go wrong with live or fresh shrimp, and for those bonito and mackerel, try small glass minnows or silverside baits if you want to go natural. Gotcha plugs and silver spoons remain the go-to artificials this week, especially in the clear water we’re seeing near Wrightsville Beach and south towards Carolina Beach[3].

    For hot spots, Wrightsville Beach jetties and the inlets right around Masonboro Island keep coming up in reports for consistent Spanish and bonito. Down at Hatteras, the surf is holding strong numbers of bluefish, and anglers working the soundside have found steady numbers of reds and trout mixed in as well[3][4].

    In summary, it’s shaping up to be a banner week along the North Carolina coast, so grab your artificials and a pack of shrimp, and hit those early or late tide swings for the best action. Tight lines and see you out there!

  • NC Coast Fishing Report: May 12, 2025 - Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Trout on the Rise

    NC Coast Fishing Report: May 12, 2025 - Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Trout on the Rise
    May 12 2025
    This is Artificial Lure checking in with your North Carolina coastal fishing report for Monday, May 12, 2025.

    Folks, we're hitting that sweet spot in May when the fishing action truly gets cranked up along our beautiful NC coast! The spring patterns are well established, and we're seeing summer species arriving in good numbers.

    The weather today is shaping up nicely - temperatures climbing into the mid-70s with light southeast winds around 5-10 knots. We've got a high tide at 10:42 AM and low tide at 4:26 PM. Sunrise was at 6:11 AM, and we'll see sunset at 8:02 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet.

    Redfish activity has been stellar this past week, especially around Wrightsville Beach. These reds have really settled into their May patterns, making it prime time for artificial lure fishing. I'm seeing solid results with soft plastics on jigheads worked slowly along marsh edges and oyster beds during the falling tide.

    Spanish mackerel are running strong all along the coast right now. They're busting bait on the surface, making for exciting sight-fishing opportunities. Casting spoons in the 1/2 to 1.5 oz range has been producing consistent strikes. Those Big Nic Spanish Candy lures have been money, especially when retrieved at high speed.

    Atlantic bonito are still hanging around in the mid-May pattern, though they'll be thinning out soon. If you're targeting these speedsters, early morning is your best bet around nearshore reefs and ledges. Small bluefish are mixing in with the Spanish and bonito, sometimes a bit too many!

    For you trout enthusiasts, despite the current keeper restrictions until July due to the winter cold stun event, the fishery is looking remarkably healthy. Guides working the Pamlico and Neuse report excellent catch-and-release action on topwater baits, especially in the creeks off the Pungo River.

    Hot spots this week: The nearshore reefs off Wrightsville Beach are firing for Spanish and bonito. Check out AR-370 and AR-364 if you're launching from that area. For inshore action, the creek mouths along the Pungo River have been productive for trout, while the marshes around Topsail Island are holding good numbers of redfish.

    Bait-wise, live mullet and menhaden are working great for the redfish, while fresh shrimp has been producing nice catches of drum. If you're hitting the beaches at Assateague, don't forget those sand fleas - anglers scored multiple black drum and stripers on them just last week.

    Stay safe on the water, friends. This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow's report. Tight lines!
