Wrightsville Beach King and more strong SW wind!
The last couple of days has been some ruff fishing. The wind is consistently blowing > 15 knots and the ocean is a mess. Today was 3-5 ft chop all morning and the cold front that came through yesterday didn’t help the fishing today. Left Wrightsville Beach at 7:30 this morning after catching bait. There is a lot, and I mean a lot of flounder sized mullet everywhere in the waterway and creeks. The wind had not started blowing hard yet, so we headed out about 10 miles and did some trolling. We picked up a 10 lb king mackerel fairly quickly. Shortly after that the wind picked up like crazy and we did not have any other bites. The water temps were reading around 74 degrees, which is 7 degrees cooler than it was a couple of days ago. Might not sound like much, but to pelagic fish it is night and day. Hopefully this wind and changes in pressure will soon get better!
