  • Winter Bluefin Bonanza: Tuna and Tog Bites Hot off North Carolina Coast
    Jan 10 2025
    As of today, January 10, 2025, the fishing conditions in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina are looking promising despite the chilly winter weather. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    ### Tidal Report
    For Atlantic Beach, the tide times are as follows: High tide at 3:54 AM with a height of 4.41 ft, low tide at 10:34 AM with a height of -0.05 ft, high tide at 4:11 PM with a height of 2.8 ft, and low tide at 10:09 PM with a height of -0.48 ft[2].

    ### Weather and Daylight
    Sunrise is at 7:14 AM and sunset is at 5:14 PM. The winter winds have been a bit challenging, but when the weather allows, the fishing has been excellent.

    ### Fish Activity
    The bite for bluefin tuna has been hot along the coast, with trolling being very effective. Several boats from nearby areas have reported successful trips, catching "overs" and "unders" bluefin tuna. Additionally, there have been reports of catching tautog, with some trips yielding a limit of tautog up to nine and a half pounds[5].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday, boats targeting tuna and tog had significant success. For example, Chasin’ Tides Charters caught a 66” bluefin and a limit of tautog. Foolish Pleasures also caught one bluefin for the box along with three "overs" that were released[5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For saltwater fishing in these waters, some of the best lures include paddletail soft plastics, gold spoons, shrimp lures, and jerkbaits/flukes. The paddletail is highly versatile and can draw strikes from various fish species. When targeting fish like bluefin tuna, trolling with appropriate lures and bait is highly effective[3].

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider are the tuna grounds off the coast, where several boats have found success with bluefin tuna, and the areas around Atlantic Beach, where the tidal conditions are favorable for catching a variety of fish species.

    Overall, with the right lures and favorable tidal conditions, today is shaping up to be a great day for fishing off the coast of North Carolina. Just be prepared for the chilly winter weather and any potential wind challenges.

  • "Navigating the Atlantic Off North Carolina: Tides, Weather, and Fishing Tips for January 9, 2025"
    Jan 9 2025
    If you're planning to head out into the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina today, January 9, 2025, here's what you need to know:

    First, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, the first low tide at Oak Island was at 2:30 AM, with the first high tide coming in at 8:49 AM. The next low tide is at 3:16 PM, and the final high tide of the day will be at 9:04 PM. The tidal coefficient is average today, which means moderate tidal movements[3].

    Weather-wise, a small craft advisory is in effect due to northwest winds of 20 to 25 knots, with gusts up to 30 knots. Seas are expected to be around 4 to 6 feet, which could make conditions a bit rough for smaller boats[4].

    Sunrise today is at 7:18 AM, and sunset will be at 5:21 PM, giving you about 10 hours of daylight.

    Fish activity has been strong, especially for speckled trout, redfish, and striped bass. These species are active in the cooler winter waters, and you can expect a good bite if you're in the right spots. Yesterday saw several catches of these species, particularly around the inshore and nearshore areas[1].

    For lures, you can't go wrong with paddletail soft plastics, gold spoons, and shrimp lures. Paddletails are versatile and can mimic a variety of baitfish, making them ideal for species like redfish and trout. Shrimp lures are excellent for fishing from bridges or piers, and gold spoons can attract a wide range of fish[2].

    If you prefer using bait, live or cut mullet, shrimp, and mud crabs are always good options for these waters.

    Hot spots include the areas around Oak Island and the Cape Hatteras region. The waters near the inlets and around the piers tend to be particularly productive for speckled trout and redfish.

    Remember to match your lure size to the bait in the area and adjust your retrieve speed to see what works best. With the right gear and knowledge of the local conditions, you should have a successful day out on the water. Stay safe and enjoy your fishing trip

  • Coastal North Carolina Fishing Forecast: Calm Winds, Abundant Fish
    Jan 5 2025
    Today, January 5th, 2025, is shaping up to be a decent day for fishing in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina, despite the chilly weather.

    ### Tidal Report
    For those planning to fish around Sunset Beach Pier, here are the tidal details: High tide is at 11:23 AM with a height of 1.52 meters (4.98 feet), followed by a low tide at 5:34 PM with a height of -0.09 meters (-0.28 feet). The next high tide will be at 11:56 PM[2].

    ### Weather
    The weather is sunny but cool, with an air temperature of around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Winds are blowing from the northwest at about 9-11 knots, which might make the waters a bit choppy but still manageable for experienced anglers[1][5].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:19 AM, and sunset is expected at 5:19 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing sessions[2].

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a variety of fish being caught. Anglers reported catching bluefish, Spanish mackerel, sea mullet, spot, croaker, and even some speckled trout and gray trout. There were also reports of triggerfish, sand perch, and small flounder[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For today's conditions, using lures that mimic baitfish such as spoons or jigs would be effective for catching bluefish and Spanish mackerel. For bottom fishing, using bait like shrimp or squid could attract sea mullet, croaker, and flounder. Live bait such as minnows or small crabs might also work well for speckled trout and gray trout[1][4].

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider are Jennette's Pier and the waters around Sunset Beach Pier. Jennette's Pier has been producing a mix of species including bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and sea mullet. The area around Sunset Beach Pier is known for its consistent catches of sea mullet, spot, and croaker[1][2].

    Overall, it's a good day to get out on the water, especially if you're targeting species like bluefish and sea mullet. Just be mindful of the wind and tidal conditions to make the most of your fishing trip.
