Fishing Reports, Latest Detailed Saltwater Fishing Reports

Fishing reports for saltwater anglers submitted by sportsmen that know their fishing. We receive detailed saltwater and freshwater fishing reports from average anglers, charter boat Captains, and experienced fishing guides. We pass these reports on to you as soon as we receive them so you can rest assured that your fishing infirmation is up-to-date and current. We know a fishing report of what an angler caught yesterday may not help you catch the same species of fish today because fish move, the bite changes, and water conditions can change dramatically. But a good detailed fishing report can give you a general idea of where the fish are biting and what lures or tackle they might be hitting.

We currently receive reports and forecasts for most saltwater cities that would include well known localities or "fishing holes" that you here about all the time. We receive Chesapeake Bay fishing reports for Maryland and Virginia, North Carolina fishing reports in the Outer Banks which includes Cape Hatteras Island, Ocracoke, Atlantic and Topsail Beach NC and that's just a small sample as we have reports from Florida's Fort Pierce to Alask'a Kenai Peninsula. So check back daily for your regions up-to-date report and remember if your region isn't posted please post your own fishing report for your home town.

The most recent saltwater fishing reports are shown first. These are the latest fishing reports for the all categories list. We carry deep sea and saltwater sport fishing reports for all inshore and offshore coastal regions. If you do not see a report for your region it just means we don't have any reporters for that area which also means you would be the first so please feel free to post a report for your fishing region.
Please Enjoy our Fishing Reports!

Fishing Report:   Water temps have reached the 68-70 degree range and fishing is heating up. False albies and atlantic bonitos are providing some great fly fishing chances along the beaches. Flounders, bluefish, and red drum are also making good showings. The giant reds that we have all been waiting for have made a couple of showings. Our best day so far was 17 fish in the 30-45 pound range. These were taken sight casting with 2 ounce bucktails. Some cobias are just starting to arrive and this fishery will only get better as May progresses. This past week the spearing were moving up the beaches in big schools so the spanish mackeral should arrive in the next couple of weeks. Fishing pressure has been miminal so far this year so it's a great time to come to the Outer Banks. Good Fishing Capt. Ken Dempsey

Fishing Report:   Hello everyone. The Wrightsville Beach Fishing and Carolina Beach Fishing is in full swing. I have been pretty busy with fishing, building custom fishing rods, and taking delivery of my new flats boat, and I have gotten behind on my fishing reports. Here is a quick, short report. The next one will have lots more info including video’s!

First, the new flats boat. To keep the report short and sweet I will sum up the new boat in one word….Awesome! Stay tuned for the next report for lots more on the Beavertail.

Now for the fishing:

Inshore: The redfish, speckled trout, flounder and black drum are doing well in the ICW and Cape Fear River. Live bait has been the bait of choice. There are small menhaden in the dredge pond and surrounding areas. Finger mullet should be here soon!

Offshore: The Spanish Mackerel are biting well just off the beach out to 5 miles along with the blues. King Mackerel are biting well around the dredge wreck and schoolhouse. I have been using cigar minnows, but yozuri’s and drone spoons will also work this time of year. The kings are biting throughout the entire water column.

A tip for the season: Soon the season will be in full swing and we will be slammed with boats. The Cape Fear area inshore is a small congested area. Please be respectful to your fellow boater. Just because you have a boat does not give you the god given right to do as you please. Learn your boat and the area

Fishing Report:   The Fish, the Weather and the Anglers excitement are all warming up tremendously. Fishing out of Orange Beach Alabama is building to an all time Great. Red Snapper are more abundant than ever before and there has been a few 90 plus pound Wahoo brought to the weigh in scales for the Salt Water Series Tournament. We have seen some big Amberjack being caught in the 35-45 pound range as well as some 50-75 pound Yellow Fin Tuna. The Black Fin Tuna are biting well also. On our last few offshore trips we have been bringing in some Scamp in the 15-18 pound range as well as some 4.5lb Vermillion Snapper (Mingo). Trigger Fish are making a good show along with big White Snapper in the 3.5lb range. The Inshore action is doing well with the Cobia showing up, some weighed in at 90.3 lb, 86.5 and more. Spanish, King mackerel and Red Fish are biting along the beach. There are plenty of Cigar Minnows starting to bunch up in schools on the bottom. So far we’ve seen an improvement in every species and it looks like we’ll see even more in the future. The weather is warming up every day and is expected to reach as high as 90 degrees today. We are all looking forward to the opening of Federal Waters for Red Snapper on June 1rst. The season last until August 5.

Fishing Report:   Fishing on Sabine is red hot. The fronts are slowing down and the weather is settling down. The water is clearing up on the south end and the fishing is fantastic. The best bite has been when the tide first starts going out. The best bait has been pumpkin seed/chart tail. The red fishing is really hot right now. The best bait for them has been Gulp! 4" swim minnow pearl white. This bait has also been taking lots of flounder to 4 pounds. If you can get out there when the wind lays downs the water clears up quick. Working the banks in the ship channel has produce most of the fish. The best bite has been in 6-9ft of water with a 3/8 jig. The jetties have been hit or miss due to the wind. Look for them to turn on when the wind lays.

Fishing Report:   Get Out Your Plastics for Spring Trout

Three days on the water and three windy days. The wind has continued to blow like it was still March; nevertheless there were some trout to be caught.



All week long the Rip Tide Mullet, Rip Tide Curtailer, and Rip Tide Flats Chub have worked well on Banana River Sea Trout. All were fished on ¼ ounce jig heads. Brothers Greg and Tom are shown in the picture below holding trout caught on the Rip Tide Curtailer. Andy in the background had just lost a trout which would have made a triple catch for the visiting brothers had it not gotten off at the boat.





The most productive colors were the Fire Tiger for the Curtailer, Electric Chicken and Silver Mullet for the 3 inch mullet, and Gold ’n Glow for the Flats Chub.

A slow retrieve while lifting the rod tip and then letting it fall was used to tempt the many trout bites of the week. The trout would almost always strike on the fall.



The mullet have not yet showed up in large numbers, when they do the fishing should get even better.

That's what it's all about. Good fishin'.

Fishing Report:   Inshore/nearshore report Jacksonville area waters

The water has warmed to 70-72 degrees now and fishing has picked up.All we need is for the wind to give us a break. Lots of jacks have moved in so the blues,which are still here, finally have some competition for your expensive baits. Large ladyfish and spanish mackerel are fairly common catches, too. I'm catching smaller spanish trolling and the larger ones on live bait when targeting other species such as trout. All these fish are great fly rod fish.

Speaking of trout, I've heard of an 11 and 10 pounder being caught recently, on lures and bait, respectively, They are hitting topwater and diving lures, as well as the always reliable live shrimp. Two to four pounders are common using the sliding float rig. If you catch a big one,which is most certainly a female, consider releasing it after a photo as your contribution to future fishing generations.

Redfish are around, though with all the tournaments and every day fishing pressure we have here in northeast Florida, it is sometimes difficult to find any. With the right bait you can usually hook a few at the jetty tips, weather permitting. Black drum are an occasional catch also, along with pompano and flounder. Keep your eyes open for triple tails, also. You just might stumble on to one hovering next to some floating object such as a crab trap float, etc.

May is migration time for the big rays and their escorts, the

Fishing Report:   NZ Game Season still full of hope.


The continued La Nina weather pattern continues to frustrate the would-be hardcore game fisherman in New Zealand.

With most of the tourist game fishing trips over, it is left to the serious fishos to pursue to game fish in the brief fine weather windows.

With the water still warm and recent catches of Blue Marlin and Mahimahi, the potential is likely to be there, as the water cools, to still catch Striped Marlin on the coast even into early June.

The past season has been one of the best ever for Mahimahi and, although still relatively few, the numbers of Wahoo caught have been much higher than usual.

The season’s best Striped Marlin, just a shade less than 400lbs, has yet to be beaten but this is still a possibility as these fish are now fat after a summer’s feed.

As an illustration of just what is possible in these waters; a top skipper has just returned from a 9 day safari to the Three Kings Islands (in rough conditions) with the following amazing catch statistics:

32 Striped Marlin to 390lbs tagged & released, 2 Blue Marlin approx 500lbs lost, 180lbs Yellowfin lost on the leader, no less than 10 Broadbill to over 600lbs in battles lasting up to 9hours, 6 of these fish were tagged & released.
A further 9 Swords lost during the fights.

There’s still plenty to aim for in the big

Fishing Report:   Hola,

The fishing the past few days has been nice mixed bag. The Sailfish bite has slowed a little but everything else has picked up. The Marlin bite is good for both Striped Marlin and Blue Marlin. The Yellowfin Tuna bite has picked up with lots of boats reporting a few 30 pound fish. The Dorado bite has also been good…with some big ones reported.

Most of the boats were fishing 25-30 miles out around the craters.

Captain Bill on the “Sailfish” Caught 2 Sailfish, a Striped Marlin a few Tuna and a Dorado.

Captain Brandon on the “Fish Whistle” caught a Sailfish, a Blue Marlin, a Striped Marlin, a Yellowfin Tuna and three 50 pound Dorados.

Captain Dana on the “Hoos your Daddy” caught a Sailfish, a Blue Marlin, several Yellowfin and a couple Dorado.

Captain Jorge on the “Barrilata” did a half day trip about 15 miles out and caught 4 Dorado…a couple 30 pounds and a couple 20 pounds.

Thanks for your time,

Bubba

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated April 27 – May 4, 2008
(Number 69)

Dear Fishing Friends:

SUMMARY: The weather has been good all week but staying on the cool side. It rained a little but not heavy. The main snow melt-off from the mountains has not started yet. We need warmer weather for that to happen. The water has been coming up slowly all week but is staying in fishable shape on most rivers. This is just what is needed to move in more Steelhead and Chinook (King) Salmon from the ocean. Conditions are near perfect on some rivers. The Kalum is clean and fishing good. The Zymoetz (Copper) is dirty and in turn is coloring up the Skeena into which it flows.

Cabo Fish Report
April 28-May 4, 2008

WEATHER: We had just another week in paradise with our daytime highs varying between 90-95 early in the week and 85-90 later in the week. Our nighttime lows varied as well with 75 early in the week and 65 later in the week. That nighttime low of 75 on Monday and Tuesday night forced us to turn on the air conditioner! We had partly cloudy skies all week long with winds at 10-15 knots from the northwest with occasional higher gusts.
WATER: There was little change in the surface conditions from last week. The Pacific side of the Cape had swells at 3-5 feet and the Cortez side had 1-3 foot swells. The water temperature on the Cortez side was a pretty even 74-76 degrees from the shore out to around 12 miles, then it became 67-69 degrees for another 12-20miles, then there was a pretty strong break where it warmed right back up. On the Pacific side the temperature remained around 66-69 degrees. On the Pacific side from the Golden Gate and across the San Jaime Bank and toward the beach the water was a fairly dirty green, the closer to shore you got the dirtier it got. This plume of cool, green water extended to the south of the Cape keeping the water outside the 1,000-fathom line that dirty green.
BAIT: There was plenty of bait this week as
