Wrightsville Beach Fishing Report

Greetings from the Cape Fear Coast,

Friday May 23, 2008:
I was fishing with my good friend Capt. Travis Dant of Flat Out Flying and his brother Chuck. We started out fishing near Masons Inlet casting for Spanish with no success. There were a few of other guides out in the area and we did see one boat pick up a small one trolling a hand line. After about 20 mins casting and not seeing any breaking fish we made a move to Rich's Inlet. Same story here and after 30 mins we decided to run offshore to AR 362. We arrived and started jigging some structure and I picked up a 22 1/2" gag on a Gotcha Plug bouncing it off the bottom. We picked up an assortment of small fish and decided to move off a bit and hit some livebottom.



Drifting the livebottom Chuck and I continued to drop the Gotcha Plugs and Travis was dropping some metal jigs, we picked up some nice grunts aka Grey Snapper. The smallest one was about 10" and the biggest about 18", nice sized for grunts. After about 30mins we moved AR366.


We moved around and pulled around some plugs for about 45mins and did not locate any good baitor fish marks and decided to move off to AR368 thinking that AJ's would probably be stacked up like AR386. We arrived and hit the buoy throwing a Yozuri Magpopper. After the first drift we pulled off the school of AJ's and on the second drift Chuck struck the first blow.
Rip'em up and Let some go,
