Wrightsville Beach Fishing Report

September 23, 2022

This month is the best time to go and chase after big King Mackerel. It’s also rewarding to go after the hot bites of Amberjacks, Sailfish, and Tuna if you sail offshore! September’s almost done but we’ve still got some availability for you, we’re also accepting bookings for October so be sure to book while the best dates are free.

Josh knew all the best spots and what every different type of fish was eating. He described each of our catches in detail, telling us everything we wanted to know about them.

Aaron was very friendly, beneficial, and knowledgeable. He keep us engaged and helped us with all aspects of the trip. I will definitely book with him again!

July 11, 2025

Would especially suggest Captain Aaron! It becomes a superb experience, honestly a laugh time out at the water. He knew precisely wherein to move and is extraordinarily knowledgeable in fishing with exclusive tools and boating. Couldn't have requested for a better captain to take us out.

July 11, 2025

Would highly suggest it. Aaron is aware of wherein the fish are and works difficult to get you on them. We had a hard beginning however he gave us greater time to make certain we have been successful. I even have booked a ton of journeys on this location with different captains and Aaron could be my first call next time out.
