The temperature and the fishing are both heating up on the Carolina Coast, with a lot of species moving in with the increase in water temperature as of late. The Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and a few Bonito have been caught on our recent trips, providing for sure action for everyone close to shore.
The King Mackerel have began to make their appearance for the year, with some fish being caught on the beach now and plenty of fish starting to fill in the 10-30 mile range. Cobia are falling in closely behind them, with a few sightings occurring over the last few weeks.
The Gulf Stream has been excellent when the weather cooperates. On our latest Gulf Stream trip we caught a few Mahi, a nice Wahoo, and a few tunas to accompany them. The Mahi should continue to become more prevalent and start working their way inshore, and by the end of the month the billfish should begin to make an appearance.
