Wrightsville Beach Fishing Report: The Spanish Mackerel have been here some days big and some days not so big. A friend of mine out of Carolina Beach busted up some nice Spanish near CB inlet this week. There have been a few reports of some decent drum bites along the waterway as well.
Fishing News: World Record Yellow Fin caught off Mexico but will not count in the IGFA records due to mate assisting during the catch.
