À propos de cet audio
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!
