  • Summary

  • Today, December 29, 2024, is shaping up to be a great day for fishing in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Tidal Report
    For Atlantic Beach, the tide times are as follows: the first high tide is at 5:56 AM, the low tide is at 12:34 PM, and the second high tide is at 6:09 PM. Sunrise is at 7:13 AM, and sunset is at 5:05 PM[2].

    ### Weather
    The morning is expected to be sunny and clear, with an air temperature of around 60 degrees and water temperature at about 62 degrees. Winds are coming from the north at 11 mph, making the water conditions clear and relatively calm[1].

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

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For today’s conditions, using lures that mimic baitfish such as spoons or jigs would be effective. Live or artificial bait like shrimp, mullet, or small fish imitations should also work well. Given the moving tides, focusing on areas where baitfish and crustaceans are carried through the current will increase your chances of catching game fish[3].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots to try is around the mouth of estuaries or near structure like dock pilings and jetties during the outgoing tide. As the tide comes in, fishing on inshore tidal flats can be very productive. Jennette's Pier in Nags Head is also a great location, known for its world-class fishing and ADA-accessible facilities[1][3].

    Overall, with the moving tides and clear water conditions, today should be an excellent day to catch some of North Carolina’s prized fish species. Make sure to check the tide charts and adjust your fishing spots accordingly to maximize your chances of a successful day on the water.
