carolina beach pier Fishing Report 2025

wow, heavy rain on the 27th! we still went to the pier but man, the fish were not having it. only got a couple bites, no luck really. packed it up quick cause the rain was pouring down hard. better luck next time, I hope!

overcast day again on the 23rd. water was a bit choppy, only caught 1 small pompano. used shrimp again, but not much action. guess it happens! chatted with some folks, they weren't having much luck either. the weather could be better!

had a great day at the pier on the 22nd! partly cloudy, caught a bunch of small croakers! like 12 of em! used a light tackle setup – 10lb test and a size 1 hook. they were biting like crazy! great time out there, can’t wait to go again.

went fishing on the 21st, and oh man, it was weird. started drizzling a bit but managed to grab a few black drum! used some shrimp and caught a nice 4lb one, felt like a win! rain came down harder so we left early. weather’s a bit iffy lately.

back at it on the 18th! still overcast and warm. caught a few nice spots, but only tiny ones lol. used some cut bait and a weighted rig. the wind picked up around noon so we packed it in after a couple hours. still a nice day out on the water tho.
