carolina beach surf Fishing Report 2025

hit the beach on the 27th, rain came down heavy, not the best conditions. caught a few smaller fish but nothing worth writing home about. the surf was rough too, but at least got a chance to sit and relax for a bit. had some fun even if it was a slow day!

went out on the 18th, still overcast but felt even warmer. the fish were biting good today! landed a few big pompano, like 2-3 lbs! used sand fleas and it was wild. really happy with the haul, gotta do this again soon!

fished on the 16th, super overcast day but warmed up to 25°C, felt great. caught a nice keeper redfish on a live bait! used my new rod and reel combo, it performed like a champ! really was a blast, couldn’t ask for better vibes.

hit the surf on the 4th, man it poured. got soaked, my gear was not meant for that! but we still tried, only caught a couple whiting, and missed some bites. the rain was relentless tho, we called it a day early, just didn’t feel right.

may third was a bust for me 😢. went out, but it started raining a bit and the fish weren’t biting. just caught some little pinfish. saw a few guys pull in some nice drum tho, so they had the luck. tough day but sun'll come out tomorrow!
